Cagers  Down  A.  1.  C; 
Roger  Williams  St  ars 


Tlie  Williams  cngers,  nifcUng 
little  opiMsltion  combinrd  un  at- 
tack of  hot  shootiriK  with  rugged 
control  of  the  backboards  to  reg- 
ister a  one-sided  70-48  victory  over 
A.I.C.  of  Springfield  on  January  8. 
The  Eph's  third  .straight  win 
boosted  their  season's  record  to 
six  victories  against  three  defeats. 

Early  Lead 

Scoring  the  first  five  points  of 
the  contest,  Williams  .lumped  out 
to  an  early  lead.  The  Purple  con- 
tinued to  penetrate  the  ineffec- 
tual A.I.C.  zone  defense,  establish- 
ing a  solid  18-8  margin  at  the 
midway  point  of  the  first  half. 

A  fine  team  effort  saw  three 
men  hit  in  double  figures  for  Wil- 
liams. Roger  Williams,  averaging 
16.8  points  per  game,  and  Al  Fos- 
ter paced  the  scoring  drive  with 
16  and  12  points  respectively,  while 
the  long  distance  accuracy  of  Pete 
Obourn  accounted  for  11. 


During  the  final  minutes  of  the 
first  half  the  poor  shooting  A.I.C. 
squad  couldn't  find  the  range  as 
the  Purple  held  them  scoreless 
to  the  buzzer.  The  Aces  finished 
the  evening  with  a  cold  23  per 
(•  I  from  the  floor,  while  the 
hi';M-flylng  Ephmen  tallied  on  30 
of  63  attempts  for  a  47  per  cent 
average. 

Alternating  between  a  man-to- 
man and  a  zone  defense,  Williams 
snuffed  any  A.I.C.  hopes  for  a 
rally.  By  half  time  they  had 
widened  their  advantage  to  36-18, 
and  even  the  Aces'  full-court  press 
was  unable  to  confine  the  Purple 
attack. 

Second  Half 

In  the  first  ten  minutes  after 
intermission  the  Ephmen  turned 
the  contest  into  a  complete  rout. 
Sparked  by  senior  Rog  Williams, 
they  extended  their  lead  to  30 
points  by  a  59-29  score.

The  Williams  hockey  team  gain- 
ed their  seventh  straight  victory 
over  Amherst,  by  the  easy  score 
of  11-1  on  January  12  In  Rye, 
New  York,  but  had  their  season's 
record  reduced  to  six  wins  and 
five  losses  by  bowing  to  New 
Hampshire  8-3  and  Brown  5-3  In 
away  games  over  the  mid-semester 
break. 

Tom  Roe  scored  ten  points  over 
the  three  game  span  on  sev- 
en goals  and  three  assists  to  move 
within  two  points  of  the  ECAC's 
leading  scorer.  Dates  Pryberger  of 
Mlddlebury.  Pryberger  has  37 
points  In  eleven  games  this  sea- 
son on  25  goals  and  12  assists, 
for  an  average  of  3.4  points  per 
game.  Roe  is  averaging  3.3  ijoiuts 
per  game  on  22  goals  and  13  as- 
sists. 
Kphs   Rout   Amherst 

Led  by  Captain  Roe,  eight  Eph- 
men broke  into  the  scoring 
column  against  the  hapless  Jeffs. 
The  muscular  Minnesota  marvel 
tallied  three  goals  and  two  assists 
to  lead  the  rout.  Senior  Andy  Holt 
added  two  goals  for  the  Ephmen, 
and  single  goals  were  scored  by 
Dick  Greenlee,  Gene  Goodwillie, 
Doug  Maxwell,  Gary  Berger,  Neil 
Peterson,  and  Tory  Orton. 

Williams  dominated  play 
throughout  the  game,  bombing  the 
shell-shocked  Amherst  goalie  Dave 
Stringer  with  75  shots.  The  Jeffs' 
lone  goal  was  scored  on  a  break- 
away late  in  the  game  with  Wil- 
liams leading  8-0. 

Friday,  January  25,  was  a  dif- 
ferent story  at  Durham,  New 
Hampshire,  as  a  lack  of  hustle 
by  the  Ephs  gave  the  home  team 
a  quick  6-0  lead  and  a  8-3  vic- 
tory. New  Hampshire  stunned  the 


Ephmen  with  live  first  period 
goals  and  added  their  sixth  after 
0:34  of  the  second  period.  Roe 
broke  the  shutout  for  Williams  at 
6:34  of  the  second  period  on  an 
unassisted  goal. 
Roe's  Second  Hat  Trick 
Later  in  the  third  period  Roe 
completed  his  second  consecutive 
hat  trick  with  two  more  goals. 
With  an  assist  from  Holt  at  10:40, 
Roe  tallied  to  make  the  score  8-2, 
and  at  16:15  he  added  another 
unassisted  goal  to  complete  the 
scoring.  Goalie  Bob  Rich  was  out- 
standing in  the  final  two  periods, 
making  40  saves  for  the  game, 
while  his  New  Hampshire  counter- 
part was  equally  brilliant  with  32 
saves. 

Despite  a  rugged  journey  to 
Providence,  Rhode  Island,  the 
Ephs  came  back  the  following  af- 
ternoon to  play  one  of  their  finest 
games  in  succumbing  to  powerful 
Brown,  holder  of  a  10-2-1  season's 
record,  by  a  close  5-3  score.  A- 
galn,    the    WilUams   scoring    was 


bunched  Into  the  final  periods,  as 
the  Ephs  made  a  strong  effort  to 
overcome  the  early  Brown  load. 
Canadian  sophomore  Leon  Bryant 
scored  the  httt  trick  for  Brown, 
who  defeated  Williams  tor  the 
second  time  this  season,  the  first 
time  in  a  Christmas  tournament. 

Roe  counted  the  first  Willlnms 
goal  early  In  the  final  period  and 
thereafter  the  Ephs  twice  closed 
to  within  a  goal  In  the  clo.sing 
minutes  of  play.  Gary  Berger,  with 
an  assist  from  Roe,  and  Gene 
Goodwillie  scored  the  other  Wil- 
liams goals. 

A.I.C.  Saturday  Niffht 

Two  games  are  scheduled  fur  the 
Carnival  weekend  against  Middle- 
bui-y  and  A.I.C.  The  Friday  after- 
noon game  at  Mlddlebury  will 
bring  together  the  top  two  scorers 
in  the  ECAC  in  Pryberger  and 
Roe.  The  Ephmen  return  home  to- 
morrow night  at  8:00  p.m.  to  face 
A.I.C,  whom  the  Ephs  have  al- 
ready defeated  this  season  in  a 
scril^mage,  8-4. 


Frosh  Swimmers  Win; 
Four  Records  Broken 


The  frosh  swimming  team,  pac- 
ed by  Jim  Rider,  Don  Roger,  and 
Lew  Scars,  opened  Its  season  here 
January  9  by  sinking  Albany  Ac- 
ademy, 56-39. 

Four  Records  Broken 

Bettering  four  records,  Coach 
Muir's  charges  made  one  of  the 
strongest  premiere  showings  in  re- 
cent years.  The  record-breaking 
started  in  the  first  event,  when 
the  200-yard  medley   relay   team

time  of  1:48.0. 

Jim  Rider  turned  the  200-yard 
Individual  medley  in  a  strong 
2:17.0  for  another  record.  Riders 
time  of  4:27.5  in  the  400-yard 
freestyle  was  also  a  frosh  record 
by  more  than  ten  seconds.  Don 
Roger,  after  being  nipped  in  the 
50-yard  freestyle  by  Albany's 
Bruce  Biage,  rebounded  to  beai 
Biage  and  set  a  new  mark  of  :51.8 
in  the  100-yard  freestyle. 

Other  first-place  winners  f  o  r 
the  Ephs  were  Doug  Steven.s  m

Tuck  Jones  in  the  diving  with 
51.58  points,  Lew  Sears  in  the  100- 
yard  breaststroke  at  1:09.5,  and 
Tony  Ryan  at  1:01.1  in  the  100- 
yard  butterfly. 

Mulr  Fore<!asts  Success 

Coach  Muir  considers  that  the 
team  did  "as  well  as  expected  "  and 
forecasts  a  good  season  ahead, 
after  his  crew  gets  into  condition. 
As  the  varsity  is  losing  seven  top 
swimmers  after  this  year,  includ- 
ing co-captalns  Connard  and 
Moran,  a  good  frosh  team  will 
help  to  fill  the.se  gaps. 

All-America  Honors 
To   John   O^Donnell 

John  O'Donnell,  captain  and 
center  halfback  of  the  undefeated 
'62  soccer  team,  was  named  to  tlie 
second  team  All-America  squad  on 
January  10. 

O'Donnell,  a  first-team  All-New 
England  pick,  is  the  second  play- 
er In  two  years  coached  by  Wil- 
liams' Clarence  Chaffee  to  be  giv- 
en national  honors.  Skip  Ruther- 
ford, co-captaln  of  the  '61  squad, 
placed  on  the  first  team  All-A- 
merica last  year. 

It  has  also  been  learned  by  the 
RECORD  that  Ben  Kofi,  high- 
scoring  Eph  center-forward,  was 
given  honorable  mention  on  tlie 
All-New  England  squad.  His  name 
was  omitted  from  the  list  original- 
ly published  In  December.

Carnival,  1963; 
It's  All  Over 

bi/  George  Fourier 

As  if  some  magic  wand  had  been  waved  tlic 
wattTS  of  the  liajjiiy  Purple  Valley,  all  of  them 
frozen  in  various  and  sundry  cryslalline  forma- 
tions, transported  Snowboat,  1963,  into  the  misty 
sea  of  memory.  Beauty  and  beast  alike  were  left 
to  ponder,  over  tlieir  bloody  marys,  the  inevi- 
table return  to  the  doldrums  of  academic  en- 
deavor. 

Sentimental  parting  and  frantic 
ridc-liunting  expeditions  were  all 
tliiu  remained.  Sunny  Sunday 
Sublimity  reigned  over  the  Ice, 
snow,  and  Bacchanalian  barrooms 
that  had  so  recently  witnes.stid 
thai  gala,  memorable  event,  the 
Williams  Winter  Carnival. 

The  Ingredients  that  do  the 
mcst  to  make  It  memorable  are, 
of  course,  those  all  too  seldom 
seen  members  of  that  other  gen- 
der; for  those  who  have  already 
forsot,  it  is  called  the  feminine. 
Happily,  the  prospect  of  Romance 
and  Excitement  in  the  Northern 
Woods  attracted  a  healthy  and  re- 
freshing dose  of  those  faces,  limbs, 
and  torsos  so  lovely  to  behold. 

Beauteous  Betty  Coed 

From  Chicago,  via  Smith  Col- 
lege, came  the  lovelle.sl  of  them 
all.  one  Miss  Nancy  Finn,  on  the 
arm  of  Dave  Coolidge,  '65.  She  was 
chosen  as  the  reigning  queen  dur- 
ing the  Friday  night  undulating 
frolic.  The  Royal  Rockers  Band, 
a  five-piece  shake,  shout,  and 
shamble  organization,  provided 
the  impetus  for  the  rock  n'  rollers. 

Meanwhile,  downstairs  in  the 
smoke-filled  rooms  of  Dame  For- 
tune, the  games  of  chance  were 
In  full  tilt.  While  plain  clothesmen 
from  the  local  law  enforcement 
agency  sleuthed  about,  watching 
scrupulously  for  the  first  sign  of 
any  real  money,  colorful  chips  giv- 
en to  all  upon  admi.ssion,  were 
easy-come,  easy-go,  as  the  wheels 
turned  and  the  cards  fell. 

A  large  share  of  credit  for  the 
casino  must  go  to  Lawrence  Ur- 
bano,  a  Spring  Street  attorney, 
who  together  with  Wllliamstown 
Police  Chief  Zoito,  enabled  the  es- 
tablishment to  meet  the  require- 
ments of  our  revered  Blue  Laws. 
Had  any  money  or  almost  any- 
lliing  of  value  been  extracted  from 
the  customers  for  any  reason  con- 
nected with  the  games,  the  results 
would  have  included  the  immedi- 
ate arrest  and  compulsory  jailing 
of  croupiers,  cashiers,  and  custom- 
ers alike. 

Snow  Sculptures 

Artistic  talent  was  in  abundant 
evidence  as  that  oft  formless  sub- 
stance, snow,  was  shaped  into  im- 
aginative and  appropriate  struc- 
tures. Following  the  Snowboat 
theme,  St.  Anthony  Hall  captured 
first  place  honors,  for  the  second 
consecutive  year,  with  a  "Snow 
Boat  to  China",  which  provided 
many  Sunday  snapshot  snappers 
with  a  deserving  subject.  Delta 
Phi  and  Sigma  Phi  were  runners 
up:  though  the  sympathies  of 
many  a  seasoned  Williams  Under- 
graduate must  have  rested  with 
the  Fresh  and  their  bosomy  mer- 
maid. 

After  the  preliminary  athletic 
exercises  had  taken  place,  the  real 
thing  began  when  houseparties  got 
underway  Saturday  night.  Sound

Calendar  Revised 
As  Carnival  Set 
To  Late  February 

by   Torrcy   Orton 

Winter  Carnival  for  1964  has 
been  rescheduled  for  the  last 
weekend  in  February.  Originally  it 
had  been  proposed  that  the  Carni- 
val should  take  place  during  sem- 
ester break  becau.se  of  a  conflict 
with  Dartmouth's  plans. 

The  initial  plan  released  by  the 
Calendar  Committee  resulted  in  a 
flurry  of  complaints.  If  the  Carn- 
ival were  to  take  place  during  the 
break,  the  technical  requirements 
would  have  been  almost  insur- 
mountable since  many  people  and 
extensive  preparation  are  requisite 
to  the  operation  of  a  big  weekend. 

Dartmouth    Carnival 

Dartmouth  College  scheduled 
their  1964  Carnival  for  the  same 
weekend  which  Williams  original- 
ly wanted.  Consequently,  the  Wil- 
liams operation  was  moved  to 
semester  break.  Due  to  the  efforts 
of  the  College  Council  in  concert 
with  the  Calendar  Committee  ne- 
gotiations were  made  with  Nor- 
wich University  which  allowed  for 
the  rescheduling  of  the  weekend 
at  Williams. 

The  College  Council  presented 
what  it  considered  to  be  reason- 
able alternatives  to  the  original 
scliedule.  Their  principle  idea  was 
to  add  another  College  Holiday  in 
late  February  to  provide  a  break 
in  the  term. 

'Cooperative  Spirit' 


Winter  Cornival   Hockey:  Tom  Roe  in  Losing  Cause 


College  Council  President  Stu 
Brown  pointed  out  that  the  deal- 
ings were  carried  on  openly  and 
]  in  a  cooperative  spirit  between  the 
Student  Government  and  the  Fac- 
ulty Calendar  Committee.  As  a  re- 
sult of  the  open  dealings  the  Cal- 
endar Committee  changed  the 
Carnival  to  February  29,  1964. 
This  required  the  shortening  of 
the  final  exam  reading  period  for 
that  semester  be  one  day,  since 
the  break  after  the  first  semester 
is  two  days  longer  than  it  was 
this  year. 


Middlebury  Wins; 
Williams  Is  4th 


by  Doug  Scltwab 

The  Williams  Winter  Carnival  ski  events 
won  a  close  battle  with  the  weather,  but  couldn't 
be  saved  from  the  clutches  of  the  .Middlebury 
College  ski  team,  who  won  an  even  closer  fight 
with  Dartmouth  for  toj)  honors. 

A  very  successful  carnival  came  to  a  close 
with  the  Eph  ski  team  finishing  fourth  behind 
third   place  Nev  Hampshire  and 
just  ahead  of  St.  Lawrence  and 
Vermont. 

Excellent  Conditions 
Under  the  direction  of  Williams 
Ski  Coach  Ralph  Townsend,  this 
year's  ski  events  were  held  under 
excellent  conditions,  and  several 
outstanding  skiers  turned  in  re- 
markable performances. 

In  the  Alpine  events,  Gordie 
Eaton  of  Middlebury  was  In  a 
class  by  hlm.self.  A  member  of  one 
Olympic  and  one  F.I.S.  team,  he 
demonstrated  his  ability  by  win- 
ning the  slalom  with  two  seconds 
to  spare,  and  by  breezing  through 
the  downhill  3.6  seconds  faster 
than  his  nearest  rival. 
Vaughn  Is  Skimeister 
In  the  Nordic  competition,  Mld- 
dlebury's  John  Bower  was  also 
in  a  class  by  himself.  The  best 
Nordic  performer  in  the  United 
Stales,  Bower  won  the  cro.ss-coun- 
try  event  by  over  three  minutes 
and  triumphed  handily  in  the 
jumping.  In  winning  the  latter 
event,  he  tied  his  own  hill  record 
of  151  feet.  Charles  Vaughn  of 
Saint  Lawrence  was  named  ski- 
meister for  the  best  all-around 
performance  in  the  four  events. 
Rain  Does  Not  Curtail  Jumping 
The  courses  and  jump  were  all 
in  excellent  condition,  and  Coach 
Townsend  remarked  that  these 
skiers  will  never  be  more  severely 
tested  in  any  other  college  meet 
this  year.  The  weather  was  a  little 
uncomfortable,  but  not  too  un- 
kind. Friday  was  beautiful,  and, " 
although  it  did  hurt  gate  receipts, 
the  rain  on  Saturday  did  not  af- 
fect the  jumping  very  much. 

There  were  no  injuries  during 
the  meet,  and  Townsend  thanked 
all  the  people  who  helped  work 
on  the  events,  saying  that  it  was 
the  excellent  condition  of  the 
areas  which  prevented  mishaps. 
Eaton  Wins  Downhill 
The  individual  results  of  the 
downhill  were  1)  Eaton,  Middle- 
bury; 2)  Hiller,  Dartmouth,  and 
Hubbard,  Vermont  ( tie) ;  4) 
Vaughn,  St.  Lawrence;  and  5)

SNOWBOAT,  1963 
Winning  Snow  Sculpture 


Showboat  1963  hit  its  first  and 
only  snag  Saturday  evenhig  when 
transportation  difficulties  forced 
the  postponement  and  eventual 
cancellation  of  the  scheduled  Od- 
etta concert. 

Bill  Ouchi,  '65,  chairman  of  the 
Carnival  Committee,  stressed  the 
fact  that  everything  possible  was 
done  by  the  folksinger  to  fulfill 
her  contract. 

Weather  Grounds  Planes 

Ice  and  snow,  otherwise  popular 
at  Winter  Carnival  time,  forced 
the  grounding  of  all  planes  leav- 
ing New  York  City  on  Saturday 
afternoon,  including  Odetta's 
scheduled   4:00   flight   to   Albany. 

Sparing  no  effort,  Odetta  se- 
cured a  limousine,  and  began  an 
elongated  trek  into  the  frozen 
wasteland  of  the  North.  Weather 
conditions  delayed  her  arrival  in 


THE  ODETTA  CONCERT 
Better  Luck   Next  Time 


Albany  until  9:00.  From  Albany 
she  telephoned  her  advance  agent 
in  Wllliamstown. 

Refund  Promised 

The  general  condition  of  the  Al- 
bany-Williamstown  cowpath  plac- 
ed the  most  favorable  estimate  of 
driving  time  over  the  mountains 
at  no  less  than  two  hours.  She 
and  the  Carnival  Committee 
therefore  reluctantly  decided  to 
cancel  the  performance.  The  only 
reward  for  her  efforts  was  that 
she  was  forced  to  spend  the  night 
in  Albany. 

Chairman  Ouchi  also  stated 
that  full  refunds  will  be  made  to 
all  of  the  1.095  ticket  holders,  a 
sellout  crowd.  The  mechanics  of 
making  the  refunds  are  to  be  an- 
nounced in  the  Advisor.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  WED.,  FEBRUARY  6,  1963        4«

William    M.    Barry,    EdiU>r         James   A.   Branch,   Btuiiwss  Manager 

Hail  And  Farewell 

As  we  prepare  to  relinquish  our  cluttered  desk  to  Mr.  Barry  and 
his  motley  associates,  we  pause  (breathing  hard)  to  survey  the  scat- 
tered wreckage  of  our  brief  reign.  For  a  little  over  a  year  now  we 
have  sat  in  the  disheveled  offices  in  the  back  of  Baxter  Hall 
(slightly  to  starboard  of  where  the  stoking  rooms  should  be)  and 
turned  our  jaundiced  eyes  on  the  activities,  normally  ludicrous,  some- 
times otherwise,  of  Williams  College.  As  the  year  progressed  the  of- 
fice grew  more  and  more  disheveled,  and  we  (almost  against  our  will) 
grew  more  and  more  skilled  in  the  thousand  and  one  little  technical 
jobs  from  head-counting  to  photography — that  go  into  putting  out  a 
good  newspaper.  Often,  and  largely  through  oui-  own  Inefficiency  we 
were  able  to  approximate  the  pressures  and  haste  of  a  daily.  Some- 
times, however,  the  rush  was  premeditated,  for  we  made  a  consistent 
policy  of  trying  to  get  whatever  happened  into  the  next  edition  so 
that  "yesterday"  or  "today"  became  familiar  words  In  our  lead  para- 
graphs. Our  masterpiece  in  this  area  was  the  special  on  Coach  Navar- 
ro which  we  started  on  an  afternoon  tip  and  had  on  the  street  35 
minutes  after  the  appointment  was  announced.  This  policy  put  tre- 
mendous pressure  both  on  our  own  staff  and  on  the  people  down  at 
Lamb's,  our  printers,  who  frequently  found  themselves  with  one  hole 
on  an  already  made  up  issue  until  some  nameless  motorcyclist,  com- 
mandeered for  the  occasion,  dashed  in  at  the  last  possible  minute 
with  all  the  air  of  someone  carrying  the  news  from  Ghent  to  Aix. 

Nevertheless,  everyone  bore  up  well,  for  which  we  are  thank- 
ful. Yet  most  old  Record  editors,  rather  than  fading  away  or  going 
into  professional  journalism  (a  choice  somewhat  akin  to  joining  a 
circus)  wind  up  at  Harvard  Law  School,  so  what  is  the  use  of  the 
whole  bit?  The  senior  editor  board  of  the  Record  is  engaged  in  what 
is  probably  the  most  demanding  and  thankless  undergraduate  job  on 
campus  (followed  only  by  the  post  of  house  president).  It  imposes  an 
almost  mandatory  fall  in  the  sacred  average;  the  constant  pressure 
of  two  deadlines  a  week;  a  Wednesday  and  Sunday  faithfully  devoted 
to  pure  chaos  which  normally  extends  into  the  smaller  hours  of  the 
morning;  a  constant  awareness  of  things  bordering  on  the  absurdly 
trivial;  the  difficult  job  of  managing  a  group  of  highly  intelligent, 
talented  and  tempermental  people;  the  necessity  for  a  highly  devel- 
oped talent  for  sleuthing;  and  the  necessity  for  listening  to  someone 
who  feels  he  has  been  neglected  or  slighted. 

This  year  it  has  also  imposed  the  necessity  of  accepting  the  an- 
imosity of  large  portions  of  the  campus  over  our  position  on  and 
handling  of  a  highly  controversial  issue.  Through  om-  letters  columns, 
we  have  acted  as  a  forum  of  opinion,  but  a  student  newspaper 
is  something  more  than  a  normal  newspaper  designed  to  soothe  the 
lethargic  masses.  By  the  nature  of  its  existence  and  (ideally)  by  the 
nature  of  its  audience  it  should  sei-ve  as  a  gadfly,  as  a  journal  of 
opinion,  and  as  an  expression  of  editors'  informed  and  considered 
opinions  and  as  we  have  noted  before,  it  should  say  what  it  damn 
well  pleases.  We  have  taken  it  as  om-  sacred  duty  to  expose  stupidity 
and  pompHJsity  wherever  we  have  found  it,  among  the  undergraduates 
as  well  as  in  the  administration.  If  we  have  sometimes  been  pom- 
pous in  this  task;  we  apologize;  if  we  have  occasionally  brought  a 
chuckle  to  your  beer-coated  lips,  a  spring  of  gratitude  snaps  humbly 
deep  in  the  coils  of  our  black  heart. 

For  this  is  the  real  value  of  working  on  the  Record.  If  you  are 
often  dealing  with  silliness,  at  the  same  time  you  are  constantly 
forced  to  evaluate,  to  make  decisions,  and  to  establish  a  position. 
This  is  what  the  goal  of  liberal  arts  education  should  be,  and  this 
is  something  which  seems  often  lost  in  the  force-feeding  of  lecture 
courses  (Lecture  courses  have,  in  the  main,  absolutely  no  Justifica- 
tion for  existence,  due  to  the  comparatively  recent  developments  of  a 
young  German  named  Guttinberg— a  better  plan  might  be  to  mimeo- 
graph lecture  notes  and  then  split  large  classes  into  groups  which 
meet  once  a  week  for  informed  discussion,  but,  as  the  noted  smoker, 
Mr.  Schulman  says,  I  digress.)  The  value  lies  also,  perhaps  in  the 
give  and  take  between  growing  minds  (of  which  we  are  allegedly  to 
see  so  much  more  in  the  future)  in  the  office  and  over  countless 
cups  of  coffee  in  the  Snack  Bar.  There  is  also  the  shared  fun,  hard 
work,  friendship,  and  sheer  boffs  of  the  enterprize,  and  the  enor- 
mous feeling  of  satisfaction  and  excitement  that  comes  from  seeing 
an  Idea  roll  off  the  printing  press  and  suddenly  become  a  thin^. 

The  big  story  of  our  regime  was  of  course  the  Angevine  Report, 
followed  by  the  Chapel  Decision.  We  chronicled  the  struggles  of  a 
new  president  and  the  timeless  round  of  events  that  make  up  Wil- 
liams College  from  the  portrayal  of  the  bland,  smiling,  reprehenslvely 
responsible  faces  of  campus  politicians  to  the  victories  of  the  foot- 
ball, soccer  and  basketball  teams.  We  have  witnessed  the  growth  of 
a  new  seriousness  in  the  Civil  Rights  movement  and  the  tutorial 
program,  and  have  been  just  as  happy  to  record  the  old  WilUams 
icoiioclasm  in  the  form  of  riots  and  last  years  snack  bar  rushing 
scheme.  We  have  attempted  to  cover  the  news  in  a  humorous  as 
weU  as  an  informed  and  literate  manner,  and  although  this  has  oc- 
casionally gotten  us  Into  trouble  with  the  righteous  (as,  for  example 
last  year  when  we  were  banned  from  the  sacrosanct  halls  of  the 
Social  Council)  we  feel  on  the  whole  fairly  justified. 

The  Williams  we  are  leaving  seems  to  be  becoming  increasingly 
Institutionalized — as  witness  the  sudden  growth  of  not  only  IBM 
machines,  but  signs  all  over  campus— from  the  menu  board— medical 
office  one  in  Hopkins  to  the  myriad  of  small  framed  ones  scattered 
about  which  indicate  what  you  can't  do.  It  Is  ironic  that  as  Williams 
students  become  more  serious,  they  become  more  regulated.  The  In- 
creasing regulation  and  the  possible  loss  of  some  of  the  careless  (and 
highly  beneficial)  informality  which  has  characterized  Williams  In 
the  past  are  two  things  which  we  commend  to  the  new  board  for  ob- 
servation and  comment. 

But  that  is  for  the  future,  and  although  many  things  will  change 
(the  whole  Pali  Sci  major  will  probably  have  to  be  abandoned  due  to 
the  continued  lack  of  the  New  York  Times)  many  will  remain  the 
same.  (We  are  sure  that  the  history  department  will,  for  time  im- 
memorial, continue  to  pomp  over  to  the  Snack  Bar  promptly  at  three, 
doff  their  fur  hats  and  settle  down  to  discuss  events  up  to  1945, 
"'^"'■y.  Bs  pvryone  knows,  ends).  For  the  present,  we  are 
,  ..  o_y  bO  Hell  with  all  of  you  and  go  read  a  book.

Alumni  Fund  Hits  Record  High  With  $377,500 


.tfV^^O      Vi4r 


The  Williams  Alumni  Fund 
Drive  has  surpassed  its  goal  for 
the  thirteenth  consecutive  year 
with  a  total  of  approximately 
$377,500.  The  total  was  announced 
by  John  P.  English,  '32,  executive 
secretary  of  the  alumni  fund,  who 
noted  that  all  figures  are  prelim- 
inary and  subject  to  adjustment. 

The  drive  started  last  fall  and 
ended  January  31.   Its  goal   was 


was  $375,000,  $25,000  more  than 
last  year.  It  brought  in  more  than 
$12,000  over  the  previous  record 
of  $364,370,  set  last  year. 

The  5604  alumni  who  contrib- 
uted gave  a  record  amount  of 
$312,400,  compared  to  last  year's 
$293,790,  although  the  percentage 
who  gave  dropjjed  from  58  per 
cent  last  year  to  54  per  cent  this 
year. 


Parents  gave  $39,800,  while  an 
additional  $9,200  came  from 
friends  -  corporations  matching 
gifts  by  alumni,  neighbors  in  Wil- 
liamstown  and  other  supporters 
$5,900  was  given  in  the  form  of 
memorials  to  deceased  alumni  and 
friends. 

Whiting  N.  Shepard,  '32,  of 
Montclair,  N.  J.,  was  chairman  of 
the  1963  drive.

Undaunted,  the  frosh  sought  to 
make  up  for  the  lack  of  profcs- 
■sional  entertainment  by  entertain- 
ing themselves.  Tlieir  mode  of  en- 
tertainment consisted  of  an  after- 
hours  orgy  at  tlie  Williamstown 
Lodge.  A  survivor  of  this  under- 
taking reported  that  several  rem-

lime unconsciousness,  at  the  wee 
small  hour  of  4:00  A.M.

Trustees  Add  $4000 
To  'Haystack'  Gifts 

The  Williams  Board  of  Trustees  has  authorized  an  ajjpropria- 
tion  of  $4000  for  the  1963  summer  jiroject,  Operation  Haystaek, 
This  sum  snij])lements  donations  from  the  Williams  College  Chest 
Fund  and  from  a  New  York  foundation,  Tlie  Trustees  for  Lingnan 
University. 


The  Chest  Fund  contributed  15 
per  cent  of  the  money  they  col- 
lected this  year.  This  amounts  to 
a  sum  of  about  $900.  Chaplain 
John  D.  Eusden.  advisor  to  Oper- 
ation Haystack,  called  this  dona- 
tion "the  biggest  gift  ever  by  the 
Chest  Fund." 

The  Trustees  for  Lingnan  Uni- 
versity have  donated  another 
$4000  to  the  fund.  This  group  had, 
for  years,  supported  education  on 
the  Chinese  mainland,  Eusden 
said.  With  the  takeover  by  the 
Communists  they  turned  their  at- 
tention to  Hong  Kong.  This  is  the 
first  such  donation  to  a  college 
group  by  this  foundation.  All  the 
funds  made  available  to  this  pro- 
gram will  be  given  to  the  finalists 
in  the  form  of  scholarships  based 
on  the  need  of  each  student. 

Selection  of  students  for  next 
summer's  program  is  well  on  its 
way.  There  were  50  initial  inquiries 
and  about  30  final  applications. 
This  group  has  been  narrowed  to 
about  15  from  which  six  or  seven 
juniors  and  seniors  will  finally  be 
■selected.  The  head  of  this  sum- 
mer's group  will  be  Steve  Blum- 
berg,  '62,  now  earning  his  M.A.T. 
at  Harvard. 

Operation  Haystack  is  the  first 
college  sponsored  summer  service 
in  the  Par  East.  It  is  strictly  in- 
terfaith  with  applicants  represent- 
ing all  and  no  religions.  Williams 
students  will  teach  English  courses 
for  Chinese  refugees  at  the  New 
Asia  College  in  Hong  Kong.  They 
will  also  assist  in  other  activities 
involved  with  the  critical  refugee 
situation  in  Hong  Kong.

Whitehead  Gets  Leave 
To  Research  Project 

Dr.  Donald  R.  Whitehead,  as- 
sistant professor  of  biology  at 
Williams,  will  spend  the  next  two 
semesters  in  Scandinavia  as  a  re- 
search professor  under  the  joint 
sponsorship  of  the  Williams  Pro- 
gram and  the  National  Science 
Foundation.  He  will  be  on  leave 
until  the  second  of  the  1963-64 
academic  year. 

During  his  absence.  Whitehead 
will  analyze  information  whicli  he 
gathered  in  the  field  during  iiie 
last  two  summers.  He  will  spend 
this  semester  at  the  Botani- 
cal Museum  of  the  University  of 
Bergen,  Norway,  and  the  next 
semester  at  the  Paleobotanical 
Laboratory  of  the  Geological  Sur- 
vey of  Denmark  located  near  Cop- 
enhagen. 

A  native  of  Quincy.  Whitehead 
received  A.B.  in  1954,  M.A.  in 
1955  and  Ph.D.  in  1958  all  from 
Hai-vard  where  he  was  an  instruc- 
tor 1956-58.  He  came  to  Williams 
as  an  instructor  in  January  i960 
and  was  promoted  to  assistant 
professor  in  1961. 

Holds  Honors 

Whitehead  is  a  member  of  Flu 
Beta  Kappa,  the  Geological  Socie- 
ty of  America,  the  Ecological  Soci- 
ety of  America,  American  Associa- 
tion for  the  Advancement  of  Sci- 
ence, and  the  New  England 
Botanical  Club.  During  grad- 
uate schools,  he  held  a  Resident 
Prize  Fellowship,  the  John  Parker 
Fellowship,  and  a  grant-in-aid 
from  the  Society  of  Sigma  Xi. 

The  Williams  sponsorship  of  his 
leave  of  absence  is  made  possible 
through  funds  raised  in  the  Wil- 
liams Program,  one  facet  of  which 
was  to  provide  some  assistant  pro- 
fessor with  paid  leaves,  which  are 
usually  given  only  to  people  on 
tenure.

Coast  Guard  Downs  Matmen  25-8 ; 
Pins  In  Last  3  Matches  Decisive 


Despite  Impressive  peifoimances 
by  captain  Jim  Bieber,  junior 
John  Winfleld  and  sophomores 
Pete  Friedman  and  Art  Wheelock, 
the  Eph  wrestlers  dropped  a  25-8 
decision  to  Coast  Ouard  Academy 
last  Saturday. 

The  servicemen  began  the 
match  with  a  five-point  advan- 
tage due  to  a  forfeit  In  the  123 
pound  class,  but  a  tie  and  two 
decisions  In  the  next  weights  gave 
the  Williams  grapplers  an  8-7  lead. 
Bl«?ber  battled  to  a  7-7  standoff 
In  one  of  the  predicted  feature 
bouts  of  the  day  with  Kane,  wlio 
also  tied  Eph  New  England  cham- 
pion Jim  Moodey  last  year. 

Winfleld  worked  over  his  man 
well  at  137,  but  couldn't  get  the 
pin.  Friedman  followed  the  same 
pattern,  putting  his  taller  oppon- 
ent in  danger  several  times  In  the 
first  two  periods.  Better  condition- 
ing gave  the  serviceman  a  third- 
period  surge  of  strength,  and 
Friedman  settled  for  a  7-6  win. 

Wheelock  Faces  Sharpe 

Pacing  New  England  runner-up 
Sharpe  at  157,  Wheelock  had  his 
hands  full  fighting  out  of  numer- 
ous pinning  combinations.  But  lie 
continually  frustrated  the  super- 
ior wrestler,  even  reversing  him  in 
the  closing  seconds  of  the  bout, 
losing  9-3. 

Three  straight  Coast  Guard  pins 
in  the  final  matches  put  the  score 
out  of  reach.  Geof  Howard  at  167 


virtually  pinned  him.sell  as  he  was 
working  a  leg  ride,  inadvertantly 
roiling  across  his  back  for  the 
crucial  two  seconds. 

Jay  Selvlfi  executed  dazzling 
moves  in  the  first  two  periods, 
completely  dominating  the  match 
at  177,  but  ran  out  of  steam  in 
the  last  few  minutes.  Bill  Burnett 
was  pinned  In  the  second  period 
by  heavyweight  Christiansen.

first  two  turns,  Deichman  was 
forced  to  run  the  rest  of  his  race 
in  the  outside  lane,  thereby 
lengthening  the  distance,  and  fin- 
ished with  a  time  of  54.5  seconds 
but  in  last  place. 

Karl  Neuse  moved  up  two  places 
on  the  second  leg  to  fourth  place 
and  finislied  just  behind  the  lead- 
nig  pack  with  a  52.3  leg.  The  big 
surprise  for  Williams  came  on  the 
third  leg  as  soph  Phil  McKnight, 
running  his  first  varsity  race, 
turned  in  a  stellar  52.2  quarter 
to  move  the  Ephs  up  to  third  place 
ahead  of  Amherst. 

On  the  final  leg,  the  event  be- 
came solely  a  two-team  event  as 
CCNY  and  Williams  ran  a- 
way  from  the  pack.  Captain  John 
Osborne  turned  in  the  best  Eph

Townsend  Pleased  by  .Showing 
Coach  Townsend  said  that  Wil- 
liams made  a  real  "team  effort." 
The  skiers,  he  stated,  "did  pretty 
well  considering  the  circum- 
stances, but  Williams  never  does 
real  well  in  its  own  carnival."  One 
reason  for  this  is  that  there  is  no 
coach  for  the  week  before  the 
meet.  Further,  the  team  must  work 
all  week  to  get  the  courses  in 
shape,  and  thus  cannot  stay  well- 
rested  or  get  in  much  practice. 
Townsend  said  he  realized  that 
the  other  teams  will  improve,  but 
he  is  hopeful  that  Williams  will 
improve  and  at  least  maintain  its 
fourth  position  among  the  eastern 
schools.

1.  I'll  tell  you  what  vou  have 
to  look  for  in  a  job.  Yoii  have 
to  look  for  fringe  benefits. 
That's  the  big  thing  today. 

Yes-the  big  thing. 


2.  You  have  to  consider  your  needs. 
You're  going  to  get  married  some 
(lay,  aren't  you?  Then  you  need 
life  and  accident  insurance. 

Goon— goon  — 


3.  You're  going  to  have  kids— so 
you'll  want  maternity  benefits. 

I'd  like  lots  of  children. 


.  And  what  about  medical  bills? 
That's  something  every  big 
family  has  to  think  about.  You 
need  a  good  major  medical  plan 
that  covers  almost  everything. 

You're  right— you're  right  I 


5.  And  you're  not  going  to  want  tp 
work  all  your  life,  are  you? 
You're  going  to  want  to  take  it 
easy —you  know,  travel  around, 
live  it  up.  So  yon  need  a 
retirement  plan  that  guarantees 
you  plenty  of  dough. 

I  can  see  it  now. 


.  That's  why  I  say  you  have  to 
look  at  the  fringe  Ix'nefits  when 
you  look  for  a  job. 

But  don't  you  also  have  to 
look  for  interesting  work, 
good  income,  the  chance 
for  advancement? 


7.  You  sure  do.  That's  why  I'm 
going  to  work  for  Equitable.  You 
get  all  those  job  advantages  — 
and  all  the  fringe  benefits,  too. 

I  admire  your  thinking.

Ephmen  Trounce   WPI  Quintets- 
Roger  Williams  Sparks    Victory 


Rebounding  from  a  recent  de- 
feat at  the  hands  of  Army.  Coach 
Al  Shaw's  cagers  rolled  to  an  Im- 
pressive 85-59  romp  over  W.P.I,  to 
highlight  activities  of  Winter  Car- 
nival weekend.  The  Ephmen  com- 
piled their  season's  highest  score 
Saturday  afternoon  behind  the  30 
point  effort  of  senior  forward 
Roger  Williams. 

Worcester  grabbed  an  early  lead 
In  the  opening  seconds  of  play  on 
a  jump  shot  from  the  key  by  lead- 
ing scorer  Henry  Schroeder.  Soph- 
omore Dave  Coolidge,  starting  In 
place  of  Dan  Voorhees,  evened  the 
count,  and  the  Purple  finally  pull- 
ed ahead  on  a  tap-in  from  under- 
neath. 

Big  Halftime  Lead 

Williams,  attaining  a  personal 
high  for  his  varsity  career,  took 
command  and  sparked  an  Eph  at- 
tack which  completely  over  pow- 
ered the  visiting  Techmen.  He 
netted  18  of  his  points  in  the 
first  half  to  give  Williams  a  com- 
fortable 42-25  advantage  at  In- 
termission.

Frosh  Hockey  Suffers  First  Defeat ; 
Taft  Outscores  Purple  Sextet  9-6 


A  strong  skating  Taft  team 
handed  the  Williams  Frosh  sex- 
tet their  first  defeat  of  the  sea- 
son last  Thursday  by  the  score  of 
9-6.  First  period  goals  by  Barth- 
olomew, Warden,  and  Carey,  gave 
Taft  an  early  3-0  lead.  Later  in 
the  period,  Bill  Roe  took  a  pass 
from  Dave  Pfaelzer  and  Bob  Brad- 
ley and  tallied. 

Taft  Runs  Up  Early  Lead 

Taft  completely  dominated  play 
during  the  first  five  minutes  of 
the  second  period.  Wlthm  three 
minutes  of  play,  two  goals  by 
Mershon  and  one  by  Carey  in- 
creased Taft's  lead  to  6-1.  A  goal 
by  defenseman  Albi  Booth  at  5:51 
of  the  period  put  some  life  into 
the  Williams  team. 

During  the  second  half  of  the 
period  they  controlled  the  puck. 
Bill  Roe,  assisted  by  Bob  Bradley, 
scored  at  11:53.  He  was  followed 


by  Dave  Pfaelzer,  who  taUied  at 
13:52  on  a  pass  from  Roe.  Wardell 
scored  for  Taft  at  10:43  of  the 
period.  At  the  end  of  the  second 
period  Taft  held  a  commanding 
8-4  lead. 

Williams  RaUy 

A  fired  up  Williams  team  over- 
whelmed the  Taft  sextet  through- 
out the  third  period.  A  combina- 
tion of  both  good  line  play  and 
hard  defensive  play  required  Wil- 
liams goalie  Johnson  to  make  only 
2  saves  in  the  period.  Bill 
Roe  scored,  unassisted,  at  1:56  of 
the  period.  Moments  later  Roe 
scored  again,  assisted  by  Pfaelzer. 
The  score  was  now  8  to  6.  A  goal 
by  Mershon  at  8:40  ended  hopes 
for  a  Williams  victory.  The  long 
layoff  due  to  final  exams  and  in- 
ter-semester break  played  a  large 
part  in  the  Williams  defeat. 


hopes  for  a  second  half  rally.  I^ed 
by  an  exhibition  of  slick  ball 
handling  by  Steve  Weinstock,  Pete 
Obourn,  and  Al  Poster,  the  Ephs 
extended  their  lead  to  73-36. 

Roger     Williams    Scores    Eipht 

Straight 

Midway  in  the  second  half  Rog 
Williams  brought  the  cheering 
tans  in  Lasell  Gym  to  their  feet 
as  he  tallied  fom'  quick  baskets  In 
eighty  seconds  of  play.  He  as- 
tounded a  capacity  crowd  with  a 
fancy  tap-in  followed  by  three 
successive  driving  lay-ups. 
Schroeder,  the  only  man  able  to 
score  with  any  consistancy  against 
the  Eph's  zone  defense,  finally 
broke  the  Williams  barrage  on  a 
long  two-pointer  fi-om  outside. 

Holding  a  commanding  lead, 
Coach  Shaw  substituted  freely 
from  his  bench  in  the  latter  part 
of  the  game.  Plagued  by  sloppy 
ball  handling  in  the  final  nine 
minutes  of  play,  the  Purple  subs 
scored  only  12  points  compared  to 
21  for  W.P.I. ,  as  Worcester  closed 
the  gap  somewhat. 

Foster,    Weinstock    Hit    Double 

Figures 

In  the  final  accounting  Wil- 
liams boasted  three  men  in  double 
figures.  Poster  finished  with  19 
points,  many  coming  from  re- 
bounds, while  Weinstock  added  14 
in  support  of  Williams'  30  point 
output.  The  Ephmen  again  dis- 
played their  skill  at  the  charity 
stripe,  converting  15  of  17  at- 
tempts and  a  string  of  ten  straight 
In  the  first  half.

AlC,  Middlebury  Down  Pucksters; 
Scoring  Difficulties  Stymie  Purple 


Winter  weekend  proved  to  be  no 
holiday  for  tlie  Williams  hockey 
squad  as  the  Ephs  suffered  thoir 
third  and  fourth  straight  set- 
backs at  the  hands  of  AIC  4-2 
and  Middlebury  8-4.  The  contests 
give  Williams  a  6-7  record  after 
13  matches. 

The  loss  to  American  Interna- 
tional was  a  particular  dis- 
appointment since  the  Purple  had 
trounced  the  Springfield  cluh  8-4 
in  a  pre-season  exhibition.  The 
Saturday  night  game,  played  in 
WiUiamstown,  lacked  the  rough- 
ness and  frequent  penalties  pre- 
sent in  the  Williams  AIC  contest 
last  year.  "American  Internation- 
al played  a  fine,  clean  game," 
commented  a  disappointed  Eph 
coach  Bill  Mccormick. 

Goodwillie  Scores 

With  high  scorer  Tom  Roe  kept 
well  away  from  the  cage  and  the 
AIC  goalie  stopping  44  Purple 
shots,  the  aroused  visitors  took  an 
early  lead  and  held  on  for  the 
win.  Only  Gene  Goodwillie  was 
able  to  find  the  mark  for  the 
Ephs,  as  he  tallied  once  in  the 
second  period  and  again  in  the 
final  twenty  minutes. 

It  is  clear  from  Williams'  two 
goals  on  46  tries  that  the  team 
is  having  great  difficulty  in  get- 
ting the  puck  into  the  cage.  Where 
the  Ephs  were  haphazard  in  get- 
ting an  offense  going  despite  a 
good  deal  of  hustle,  AIC  was  able 

Squash  Team  Wins; 
Defeats   Trinity   8-1 

The  Williams  Varsity  squash 
team  did  its  part  in  fostering  in- 
ternational relations  by  hosting 
the  McGill  (Toronto)  University 
racquetmen  last  Saturday,  and 
amicably  succumbing  7-2.  The 
match  was,  overall,  one  of  Wil- 
liams' weakest  showings  this  year, 
possibly  resulting  from  the  long- 
exam-semester  break. 

Birgbauer  and  Bemheimer  Win 

Two  bright  spots,  however,  were 
the  exhibitions  of  Lenny  Bern- 
heimer  and  Bruce  Birgbauer,  who 
continued  their  current  streaks  of 
fine  play.  Birgbauer,  playing  at 
No.  7,  won  his  third  straight 
match,  and  was  Williams'  only 
victor  in  the  pre-exam  match  a- 
galnst  Princeton,  one  of  the 
strongest  teams  in  the  country; 
despite  the  8-1  score.  Coach  Chaf- 
fee considered  it  to  be  a  well- 
played  match,  and  many  of  the 
contests  were  close.  Bernhelmer's 
match  was  very  tense,  especially 
in  the  fifth  and  deciding  game. 

Trinity  Defeated 

On  the  day  before  the  Prince- 
ton match,  Williams  overwhelmed 
Trinity  for  the  21st  straight  time, 
by  another  8-1  score.  In  both  the 
Trinity  and  Princeton  matches, 
the  first  match  was  a  contest  of 
sophomores,  and  four  other  under- 
classmen were  included  in  Trin- 
ity's lineup,  foreshadowing  better 
times  for  the  Bantams  in  future 
years  as  they  gain  varsity  ex- 
perience. 

The  Ephs  now  possess  a  1-4 
match  record,  and  have  little  hope 
for  a  winning  season  with  the 
toughest  part  of  the  schedule  yet 
to  come,  Including  Little  Three 
and  top  Ivy  League  competition, 
but  some  good  performances  by 
various  members  of  the  squad 
could  enable  the  Ephs  to  pull  a 
few  surprises.

McCormick  admitted  this  scoring 
void  as  he  explained,  "We  don't 
have  the  balance  or  experience  we 
had  last  year.  The  team  in 
definitely  thinner,  since  we  lost 
five  boys  through  graduation 
while  only  picking  up  two  replace- 
ments. As  a  result,  we  have  be- 
come opportunists  In  our  scoring. 

Panthers  Rally 

Against  Middlebury  on  Friday, 
the  Ephs  had  little  better  luck. 
With  the  score  4-3  in  favor  of  the 
Panthers  after  two  periods,  the 
homestanding  Vermonters,  led  by 
Dates  Pryberger,  the  leading  .scor- 
er in  the  East,  broke  the  game 
open  with  four  goals  in  the  last 
stanza.  In  a  personal  duel  between 
Pryberger  and  Roe,  the  top  two 
point-getters  among  the  ECAC 
players,  the  Middlebury  forward 
turned  the  hat  trick  while  the 
Eph  co-captain  notched  two  scor- 
es. Exact  statistics  for  this  con- 
test are  unavailable  at  press  time.

Swimmers   Defeated; 
Colgate  Wins   60-35 

Williams'  varsity  swimming 
team  was  dunked  by  an  extra- 
ordinary Colgate  contingent,  60- 
35,  Saturday  at  the  Lassell  Pool. 
Co-captain  Carroll  Connard  high- 
lighted the  Eph  performance  by 
setting  a  New  England  record  in 
the  200  yard  butterfly  in  a  meet 
which  saw  four  other  pool  marks 
established. 

Colgratc  Captain  Sets  Mark 

After  Williams  bowed  to  Colgate 
in  the  opening  400  yard  medley 
relay,  the  assault  on  the  record 
board  began.  In  the  200  yard  free- 
style, Connard  was  topped  by  Col- 
gate captain  Stuck  who  negotiated 
the  course  in  1:52.2,  a  new  pool 
record.  Dave  Larry  and  co-cap- 
tain John  Moran  copped  second 
and  third  behind  Colgate's  Wil- 
liams in  the  50  yard  sprint  while 
Dick  Holme  performed  well  in  the 
fancy  diving  in  which  with  69.78 
points  he  earned  a  second  place 
behind  Colgate's  star  La  Forte. 

Connard  was  spectacular  in  the 
gruelling  butterfly  event  in  which 
he  was  participating  competitively 
for  the  first  time.  Senior  Pete 
Weber  earned  a  third  in  this  e- 
vent.  Junior  Sandy  Kasten  placed 
third  In  the  100  yard  freestyle 
which  Stuck  won  in'  49.9  seconds. 

Two  More  Marks  Shattered 

In  the  200  yard  backstroke,  Col- 
gate's Renne  erased  the  old  pool 
record  of  2:15.0  set  last  year  by 
Springfield's  Bill  Steam.  Covering 
the  course  in  2:13.4,  Renne  topped 
Williams'  Jerry  Bond  who  earned 
second  place.  Colgate's  Fluke  es- 
tablished another  pool  mark  in 
the  500  yard  freestyle  in  which 
workhorse  Connard  gained  third 
spot. 

New  England  pacesetters  John 
Wester  and  Bill  Carter  were  edged 
by  the  New  York  State  college's 
Cook  who  set  a  pool  mark  of  2:25.5 
in  the  200  yard  breaststroke.  Wes- 
ter also  gained  a  second  In  the 
200  yard  Individual  medley.  The 
Eph  relay  team  of  Bond,  Larry. 
Kasten,  and  Moran  completed  the 
scoring,  winning  the  400  yard 
event  In  the  rather  disappointing 
time  of  3:34.1.

This  'londmark'  on  Spring   Street   is  to  be  removed 


Spring   Street  ^Relics' 
Fall   Before  New  Era 


By  Rick  K.  Dodge 

That  architectural  hodgepodge 
which  is  the  physical  Spring  Street 
has  been  touched  by  the  umni- 
presenl  hand  of  the  "New  Wil- 
liams." IL  was  announced  on 
Tuesday  that  the  block  of  decay- 
ing wooden  structures  directly 
south  of  the  squash  courts  on  the 
east  side  of  the  "street"  will  be 
demolished  next  month. 

Charles  A.  Pochl,  Jr.,  Treasurer 
of  WiUiams  College,  explained  that 
the  administration  had  been  un- 
der pressure  from  the  more  aes- 
thetically oriented  residents  to  re- 
move this  eyesore,  and  that  the 
present  was  an  opportune  time  for 
action.  There  are  no  immediate 
plans  for  the  utilization  of  the 
property  which  the  college  has 
owned  since  1954. 

Mr.  Poehl  would  not  comment 
on  the  strategies  and  mach- 
inations of  the  college  to  trans- 
form Spring  Street  into  an  archi- 
tectural marvel.  Much  of  the  well- 
situated  property  in  the  area  is 
owned  by  the  college,  and  pos- 
sibilities for  development  are  al- 
most endless. 

Over  One  Hundred  Years  Old 

The  two-story  building  which 
the  Board  of  Trustees  has  de- 
cided to  raze,  known  as  the  Bas- 
tien  Block,  was  the  second  build- 
ing constructed  on  the  east  side 
of  Spring  Street.  The  street  was 
opened  In  1846  and  the  structure 
was  erected  as  a  residence.  It  was 
later  remodeled  and  the  first  floor 
■  converted  into  a  grocery  store 
which    was    operated    at    various 


times  by  Daniel  Neyland  and  John 
Quinn,  by  Mr.  Ncyland's  son,  John 
and  by  Howard  Moon,  who  died 
last  year. 

That  part  of  the  Bastion  Block 
to  be  demolished  during  the 
course  of  next  month  contains 
Ron's  Barber  Shop,  the  Square 
Deal  Store,  and  an  apartment  on 
the  second  floor.  The  other  two 
buildings  in  the  block,  the  Wil- 
liams News  Room  and  the  Rich- 
ard Gold  jewelry  store,  will  follow 
the  way  of  their  neighbors  at  a 
later  date.  The  north  side  of  the 
Williams  News  Boom  will  be  re- 
finished  to  afford  temporary 
good-looks  to  the  section. 

Barber  Shop  To  Relocate 

The  tonsorial  artist,  Ron,  of  the 
shop  which  goes  under  the  same 
name  commented  that  he  was 
happy  to  be  moving  somewhere 
else  in  Williamstown.  He  plans  to 
open  a  new  shop  before  March 
1st  in  the  Avery  house,  also  col- 
lege owned,  which  is  directly  south 
of  the  Clark  5  and  10  cent  store. 

With  the  passing  of  the  Square 
Deal  Store,  thirsty  students  lose 
another  source  of  beverages  and 
snacks,  and  a  near  monopoly  is 
created  on  Spring  Street.  There  is 
as  yet  no  word  from  the  im- 
portant mercantile  center  as  to 
its  future,  or  the  prospect  of  a 
big  shift  in  power. 

The  college  is  face-lifting  the 
campus  and  its  surroundings,  and 
there  appears  to  be  murmurs 
issuing  from  the  internal  organs 
about  the  changes.  The  residents 
of  the  town  will  soon  see  that 
their  home  is  changing  too. 


Thorns  Names  New  Line  Coach; 
Selects  Drury's  Thomas  Bresnahan 


Thomas  M.  Bresnahan,  Head 
Football  Coach  at  Drury  High 
School  in  North  Adams,  has  been 
named  Line  Coach  at  Williams. 
Athletic  Director  Prank  R.  Thorns, 
Jr.,  '30,  announced  the  appoint- 
ment, to  fill  the  vacancy  left  by 
the  retirement  of  Len  Watters. 

Bresnahan's  past  experience  in- 
cludes, in  addition  to  two  years 
at  the  Drury  post,  one  year  as 
Head  Coach  at  Cathedral  High 
School  in  Springfield,  and  two 
years  as  Line  Coach  at  Holyoke 
High  School,  Holyoke,  Mass. 

He  also  served  as  Line  Coach 
at  Port  Dlx,  New  Jersey,  during 
one  of  his  two  years  In  the  Armed 
Forces.  As  an  undergraduate, 
Bresnahan  saw  action  as  a  tackle 
at  Holy  Cross  College,  under  Dr. 
Eddie  Anderson. 

Holy  Cross  Graduate 

At  Drury,  Bresnahan,  In  addi- 
tion to  guiding  his  team  to  their 
first  Class  A  Conference  Cham- 
pionship with  a  5-2-1  season,  was 


Newett  Member  of  Eph  Grid  Stoff 

an  instructor  in  history.  A  cum 
laude  graduate  of  Holy  Cross,  he 
majored  In  Economics  and  Phil- 
osophy. 


Two  Sophs  Rushing ;\ 
Bidless  Group  Become 
Open  Game  Feb.  11 

By  Ken  Gaines 

According  to  Man  ton  Copeland, 
'39,  Rushing  Arbiter,  and  Roger 
Warren,  '63,  Rushing  Chairman, 
only  two  sophomores  are  going 
through  the  formal  rushing  pro- 
cedure this  semester.  These  two, 
who  have  never  rushed  before,  be- 
gan Wednesday  at  noon  with 
lunch  at  Kappa  Alpha  and  will 
continue  dining  at  the  various 
hou.ses  through  Pebruary  15.  Bids 
will  be  distributed  to  the  two 
rushees  that  afternoon. 

The  second  a.spect  of  this  sem- 
ester's rushing  activity  is  inde- 
pendent of  this  formal  rush  and 
involves  the  seventeen  sophomores 
who,  last  fall,  did  not  list  all 
fifteen  houses  on  their  final  list, 
and  failed  to  receive  a  bid.  At 
any  time  through  9:00  A.M.  on 
Pebruary  11,  these  people  will  be 
eligible  to  accept  full  membership 
bids  from  the  three  houses  which 
failed  to  fill  their  quotas  first 
semester. 

Other  Houses  May  Bid 

A  bid  from  one  of  these  houses, 
whether  accepted  or  rejected,  au- 
tomatically prohibits  the  rushee 
from  accepting  a  full  member- 
ship bid  from  one  of  the  other 
houses.  On  Pebruary  11,  however, 
a  list  of  those  who  did  not  re- 
ceive a  bid  from  one  of  the  quota 
deficient  houses  will  be  furnished 
to  the  rest  of  the  fraternities,  and 
they  will  have  until  9:00  A.  M. 
Pebruary  14  to  extend  a  full  mem- 
bership bid  to  any  of  these  people. 

Mr.  Copeland  wishes  to  empha- 
size that  this  semester's  activities 
will  still  be  governed  by  the  pre- 
vious Rushing  Agreement  and 
that  the  granting  of  so-called  "so- 
cial membership"  does  not  come 
under  the  auspices  of  the  agree- 
ment and  is  an  entirely  private 
matter. 

Senate  Legal  Counsel 
Harry  C.  McPherson 
To  Speak  In  Chapel 

Harry  C.  McPherson,  a  "tacti- 
cian and  strategist"  in  the  Ken- 
nedy administration,  will  speak 
out  of  his  Christian  conviction 
and  political  experience  at  Thomp- 
son Memorial  Chapel  on  Sunday 
night,  Pebruary  10.  McPherson's 
busy  schedule  in  Williamstown  in- 
cludes four  other  appearances 
during  his  two-day  stint  on  cam- 
pus. 

A  layman  active  in  church  life 
and  a  skilled  administrator,  Mr. 
McPherson  works  closely  with 
Senators  Mansfield  and  Humph- 
rey and  with  Vice-President 
Johnson  in  the  U.S.  Senate.  After 
briefing  members  of  the  Demo- 
cratic Policy  Committee  and  other 
members  of  the  Senate  on  bills 
issuing  from  standing  committees, 
he  attempts  to  muster  majority 
support  in  the  vote. 

At  5:30  on  Sunday,  McPherson 
win  Join  Professors  Kurt  Tauber 
and  Dwight  Simpson  in  a  panel 
discussion,  "The  Christian  Ethic 
and  Its  Relevance  to  American 
Politics."  This  discussion  will  take 
place  at  the  Faculty  House,  where 
dinner  will  be  served;  faculty,  stu- 
dents, and  area  residents  are  In- 
vited to  make  reservations  at  the 
Chaplain's  office.  Following  his 
sermon  in  the  Chapel,  Mr.  Mc- 
Pherson will  lead  a  discussion  In 
Baxter  Hall. 

Monday,  at  11:00,  Williams' 
guest  Is  scheduled  to  speak  in 
David  Booth's  Political  Science 
316,  1  Griffin  Hall,  on  "The  Pres- 
ident and  Congress."  At  12:00  he 
will  talk  about  "The  Vocation  of 
Politics"  at  a  Student  Union  lun- 
cheon. All  Interested  are  invited 
to  attend  these  discussions. 


Students  Pick  Heads :  Buchart  '64 , 
Tresch  '65,  Bowden- Anderson  '66 

A  remarkably  strong  turnout  at  the  polls  last  night  marked 
tlie  election  of  Scott  Buchart  '64  and  Dick  Tresch  '65  as  presi- 
dents of  their  respective  classes.  Bill  Rose  '64  and  Bob  Lisle 
'65  are  the  new  secretary-treasiners.  New  CC  members  are:  Bob 
Leroy,  Pete  [oluuissen  and  John  Foster,  all  '64,  and  Dan 
O'Flaherty  and  Bruce  McCloed  '65. 

A  unique  development  in  the 
freshman  election  saw  Bill  Bow- 
den  and  Dave  Anderson  in  a  vir- 
tual deadlock  for  the  top  posi- 
tion. A  run-off  will  be  conducted 
before  Monday  to  resolve  the  tie. 
The  other  frosh  officers  are  also 
figures  of  last  year. 

CC  President  Stu  Brown  pointed 
out  that  80  per  cent  of  the  junior 
cla.ss  and  67  per  cent  of  the  soph- 
omore class  participated  in  the 
proceedings.  300  of  the  304  fresh- 
men voted.  This  represents  a  "re-

firgures  of   last  year. 

The  new  Junior  class  president 
Scott  Buchart,  present  vice- 
president  of  the  JA's,  CC  treasurer

"try  to  see  if  the  CC  can 
get  off  its  fat  butt  and  do  some- 
thing. I  realize  the  prevalent  stu-

partly  caused  by  the  CC  itself." 
He  also  added  that  "the  CC 
will  play  a  bigger  role  in  the  fra-

to  make  any  prediction  as  to  the

Exhibit  Features 
Kinetic  Sculpture 

George  Rickey,  leading  sculptor, 
will  lecture  on  "Kinetic  Sculpture" 
to  open  an  exhibition  of  sculpture 
in  motion  Monday  at  4:30  P.M.  in 
the  Williams  College  Museum  of 
Art. 

Sculpture  in  motion  was  initi- 
ated more  than  thirty  years  ago 
with  the  mobiles  of  Alexander 
Calder,  who  has  been  widely  im- 
itated since.  Rickey  is  one  of  a 
relatively  small  group  who  have 
applied  Calder's  basic  idea  to 
fresh  and  original  discoveries. 
36  Pieces  On  Display 
The  Williams  exhibition  will 
consist  of  five  sculptures  by  Rick- 
ey and  some  thirty-five  other  art 
works  from  his  personal  collec- 
tion; the  public  is  invited  free  of 
charge  to  the  exhibition  which 
will  remain  open  until  March  3. 
Rickey  has  held  Guggenheim 
Fellowships  for  the  past  two  years 
and  has  exhibited  at  the  Metropo- 
litan Museum  of  Art,  Museum  of 
Modern  Art,  the  Stedulijk  Muse- 
um in  Amsterdam,  and  in  Stock- 
holm, West  Berlin,  Dusseldorf, 
Houston,  Indianapolis,  Santa  Bar- 
bara, and  Los  Angeles.  For  the 
past  two  years  he  has  engaged  in 
part-time  teaching  of  painting  and 
sculpture  to  architectural  students 
at  Rensselaer  Polytechnic  Insti- 
tute. 

Falson  Responsible 
Rickey  and  his  wife  are  ardent 
collectors  of  different  kinds  of  art, 
several  examples  of  which  will  be 
included  in  the  exhibition.  The 
selection,  made  by  Professor  S. 
Lane  Falson  of  Williams,  gives  an 
impressive  cross-section  of  the  ar- 
tist's varied  interests. 

Outstanding  Is  a  group  of  works 
from  the  primitive  cultures  of  Af- 
rica, the  Pacific  Northwest,  and 
pre-colonial  Latin  America.  Ex- 
amples of  European  art  includes 
paintings,  drawings,  and  prints  by 
Max  Beckman.  featuring  two  por- 
traits of  Mrs.  Rickey.  Also  shown 
will  be  drawings  by  the  American 
painters  Philip  Evergood  and  Ed- 
ward MlUman,  a  group  of  Shaker 
farm  Implements,  and  anonymous 
still-life  compositions  picked  up 
at  auctions  and  flea-markets. 


Sir  Hugh  Foot  Sees 
Trouble  For  Africa; 
Calls  UN  Best  Hope 

By  Steve  Strauss 

Sir  Hugh  Foot,  longtime  British 
diplomat  and  former  ambassador 
to  the  United  Nations,  called  up- 
on his  Jesup  Hall  audience  last 
Tuesday  to  "gaze  upon  this  bat- 
tered old  figure,  for  he  is  one  of 
a  dying  species — a  British  colonial 
governor."  Although  his  roots  are 
in  the  colonial  past.  Sir  Hugh 
displayed  great  insight  into  the 
problems  and  prospects  of  emerg- 
ing Africa  in  this  stimulating  and 
informative  talk. 

Sir  Hugh  only  recently  resigned 
his  UN  post.  He  did  so  because  of 
his  disagreement  with  British  pol- 
icy in  Southern  Rhodesia,  where 
he  deplores  the  oppression  of  the 
African  population.  Prior  to  his 
UN  appointment  he  was  Chief 
Secretary  of  Nigeria,  Governor  of 
Cyprus,  and  Governor  of  Jamaica.  ' 
He  has  been  created  a  Knight 
Commander  of  St.  Michael  and  St. 
George,  promoted  to  Knight 
Grand  Cross,  and  also  holds  the 
Order  of  the  British  Empire. 
Wide  Range  of  Topics 
Although  his  topic  was  an- 
nounced as  "Africa  -  A  Third 
Force,"  Foot  did  not  hold  to  this 
line  but  instead  spoke  on  a  much 
broader  range  of  topics.  He  dealt 
with  three  main  points:  the 
nature  and  effects  of  British  col- 
onial rule;  the  problems  facing 
Africa  today;  and  the  UN  and  the 
small  nations'  role  in  guiding  its 
course. 

On  the  subject  of  British  col- 
onialism. Sir  Hugh  first  describ- 
ed the  method  by  which  colonial 
officers  were  imbued  with  the 
spirit  of  assistance  to  the  subject 
people  in  the  colonies.  He  then 
outlined  some  of  the  outstanding 
British  contributions  to  their  for- 
mer colonies:  parliamentary  gov- 
ernment, an  impartial  system  of 
courts,  a  civil  service  dedicated  to 
duty,  and  a  non-political  p>ollce 
and  military  force  whose  Job  It  is 
to  protect  all  the  people.  The 
British  can  be  proud.  Foot  stated, 
that  they  have  assisted  in  estab- 
lishing   mature,    relatively    stable

Editorial 

Goodness !  Realpolitik  At  Williams ! 

It  Is  traditional  that  the  first  RECORD  which  any  new  staff 
publishes  contain  some  sort  of  prolegomena,  and,  thinking  In  our 
best  historical  perspective,  we  prepared  a  statement  of  aspirations 
and  a  catalogue  of  advance  excuses  for  mistalces  which  we  will  as- 
suredly commit.  One  of  the  prerogatives  which  we  planned  to  discuss. 
In  a  vague  sort  of  way,  was  the  maintenance  of  an  independent 
and  hopefully  intelligent,  critical  perspective  on  campus  affairs.  We 
are  glad  that  the  opportunity  to  put  our  preacliments  into  im- 
mediate practice  presented  itself,  but  we  regret  that  the  occasion  had 
to  be  the  results  of  the  College  Council  elections  last  night. 

Although  the  Undergraduate  Committee  for  the  Best  Interests  of 
Williams  College — -as  presumptuous  a  title  as  we  have  ever  heard — 
may  deny  everything,  the  fact  remains  that  they  have  pulled  off  a 
remarkable,  although  not  admirable,  coup  on  a  naive  and  a- 
pathetic  campus.  F*i-ofessor  Burns  is  always  telling  us  that  politics 
Is  a  mess,  but  whoever  thought  that  realpolitik  would  ever  appear 
with  such  crashing  force  on  a  heretofore  innocent  and  genial  cam- 
pus. The  fact  that  the  candidates  proposed  by  a  fraternity  group 
finished  far  in  front  of  their  opposition  is  the  best  conceivable  ad- 
vertisement for  machine  politics. 

THE  RECORD  planned  to  promise  its  readers  an  occasionally 
humorous  perspective  and  we  can't  help  thinking  that,  in  a  morbid 
sort  of  way,  the  election  retmuis  are  funny;  it  is  always  funny  when 
a  group  is  able  to  pull  off  a  stunt  in  such  a  fashion  that  they  can 
sit  back  and  laugh  at  everyone  else,  by  no  means  an  impleasant 
proposition,  we  must  concede. 

In  a  selfish  sense,  we  approve  of  the  results  for,  despite  Scott 
Buchart's  modest  statement  that  the  Council  will  play  a  bigger  role 
in  the  fraternity  issue,  the  problem  has  suddenly  jumped  back  into 
the  forefront  of  the  Umlted  area  of  "student  concern."  The  whole 
argiunent  seemed  to  be  fading  into  the  misty  chronicles  of  our 
age,  leaving  us  with  no  good  copy;  we  obviously  will  no  longer  lack 
excitement,  a  state  which  is  tantamount  to  journalistic  Utopia. 

We  would,  in  closing,  offer  congratulations  to  the  newly  elected 
officers,  although  these  felicitations  are  not  as  hearty  as  they  might 
be  under  the  circumstances.  We  hope  that  the  new  College  Council 
will  consider  something  besides  the  fraternity  problem,  although  this 
seems  unlikely,  and  we  regard  somewhat  pessimistically  a  period  dur- 
ing which  the  other  problems  go  unmolested.  Barry 


Two  Events  Stir   Musical  Interest 


Famed  Galimir  String 
Ensemble  To  Present 
ConcertlnChapinHall 

The  Gahmir  Quartet,  interna- 
tionally known  string  ensemble, 
will  present  a  concert  next  Tues- 
day night,  February  12,  in  Chapln 
Hall.  The  concert  will  feature  Al- 
ban  Berg's  "Lyric  Suite"  and 
works  by  Haydn  and  Brahms. 

Pounded  in  Vienna  during  the 
inter-war  years,  the  Galimir 
Quartet  at  first  specialized  in  con- 
temporary music,  for  which  it  has 
acquired  an  enviable  reputation. 
It  was  chosen  by  Maurice  Ravel 
to  record  his  string  quartet,  and 
it  made  the  first  recording  of 
Berg's  "Lyric  Suite".  When  Felix 
Galimir  came  to  America  in  1938 
he  reorganized  the  Quartet,  and  it 
soon  became  one  of  the  leading 
string  ensembles.  Led  by  Galimir 
on  the  violin,  the  Quartet  now  In- 
cludes Marvin  Morganstern,  vio- 
lin; Samuel  Rhodes,  viola;  and 
Charles  McCracken,  violoncello. 

Well  Rounded  Repertoire 

This  group  is  noted  for  Its 
classical  repertoire  as  well  as  its 
courageous  championship  or  con- 
temporary music  including  almost 
the  entire  field  of  recognized  com- 
posers. It  plays  an  important  role 
in  the  annual  Marlboro  Festival 
directed  by  Rudolph  Serkin,  and 
in  the  distinguished  series  of  con- 
certs at  the  New  School  in  New 
York  City. 

The  New  York  Times  hailed  the 
Quartet's  concert  as  "immaculate- 
ly performed,"  and  lauded  its 
"sensitiveness  of  phrase,  unfailing 
taste  and  charm."  The  Baltimore 
Sun  further  complimented  this 
skill  by  stating  that  "sensitive 
and  well  adjusted  playing  by  the 
Galimir  ensemble  made  these  per- 
formances a  paragon  of  ex- 
cellence." 


Music  Review 

Choral  Works  Transcend  Limitations 

It  is  unfortunate  that  most  Williams  students  missed  the  concert 
given  Monday  night  by  Jerry  Bidlack  and  the  Northern  Berkshire 
Chorus.  The  Chapel  concert,  which  Included  works  by  Bach,  Pales- 
Irina,  and  Scherer,  was  enjoyable  despite  the  limitations  imposed  by 
a  small  town  and  an  amateur  choir. 

The  choral  works  were  especially  pleasing.  The  first,  Palestrlna's, 
"Magnificat,"  In  the  rare  Lydlan  (fourth  tone)  mode  was  the  higli- 
Ught  of  the  evening.  The  chorus  showed  excellent  dynamic  control, 
clarity  of  diction,  and  surprising  response  to  the  conductor's  dlreo- 
tions,  a  quality  rare  in  amateur  choruses. 

The  soprano  and  bass  sections  were  forceful  and  clear,  and 
although  the  tenors  were  weak  in  both  volume  and  attack,  llii.s 
deficiency  may  have  been  caused  by  their  lack  of  numbers.  Tempo, 
pitch  and  phrasing  were  excellent  throughout  most  of  the  work,  but 
the  most  pleasing  feature  by  far  was  the  group's  fine  tonal  quality. 

The  performance  of  the  Bach  motet,  "Jesu  Melne  Preude,"  al- 
though in  general  good,  pointed  up  many  of  the  choir's  weaknesses. 
As  in  the  Palestrina  work,  they  sounded  best  in  the  homophonic  or 
"chorale"  passages.  Their  full  rich  tone,  excellent  dynamics,  and  near 
perfect  releases  made  these  sections  superb.  Lack  of  vocal  training, 
however,  showed  up  clearly  in  the  work's  polyphonic  passages,  loni; 
melismatlc  passages  common  to  much  of  Bach's  music.  Here,  faulty 
diction  in  general  and  fuzzy  attacks  in  particular  made  these  pas- 
sages sound  mushy.  Added  to  this  was  the  fact  that  the  chorus, 
lacking  in  numbers  and  vocal  training,  could  not  achieve  the  power 
required  for  many  sections  of  the  motet. 

One  other  unfortunate  aspect  of  this  performance  was  the  de- 
cision to  perform  the  work  in  English.  There  are  no  satisfactory 
translations  of  this  motet  available,  either  from  the  standpoint  of 
meaning  or  phrasing. 

Mr.  Bidlack  demonstrated  in  this  concert  a  device  in  which  he 
is  very  much  Interested;  The  "rebarring"  of  Renaissance  music.  Thi.s 
involves  Inserting  the  bar  hnes  at  divisions  determined  by  the  length 
of  each  phrase,  rather  than  at  predetermined  metrical  intei-vals. 
This  idea  is  a  good  one  for  Renaissance  music  was  written  with  no 
bar  lines  at  all  and  the  effect  should  be  to  increase  the  rythmic 
fluidity,  each  phrase  determining  the  rhythm  of  the  vocal  lines. 
The  untrained  ■choir,  however,  was  troubled  by  the  innovation  and 
the  attempt  may  have  done  more  harm  than  good  to  the  performance. 

The  two  organ  works  performed  by  William  A.  Little  were  dis- 
appointing. The  first,  "Intonatione  all'  Octavi  Toni,"  by  Sebastian 
Scherer  was  played  with  clear  attacks  and  an  adequate  registration. 
Unfortunately,  Little  had  trouble  finding  his  notes  and  as  a  result 
the  tempo  was  uneven.  The  second  work,  Bach's  Chorale  Prelude  on 
"Jesu  Meine  Pi-eude,"  suffered  from  shaky  tempo,  poor  attacks,  and 
the  indecisive  use  of  a  "walking  bass." 

In  general,  however,  the  concert  was  a  pleasant  experience,  and 
it  is  a  disappointment  that  more  students  did   not   attend.

Letter   To   The  Editor 


Good  '60  Blasts  'Alumni  Action/ 
Sees  Change  Meeting  College  Aims 


1  liave  resisted  until  now  the 
strong  ui'ge  to  make  my  views 
)[iK)wn  on  the  subject  of  the  Ang- 
evine  Report,  chiefly  because  I 
felt  too  many  whips  had  already 
been  used  to  beat  a  dead  horse. 
Tiie  decision  of  the  trustees  was 
final.  I  thought,  and  that  was 
that.  But  the  recent  letter  I  re- 
ceived from  the  Williams  Alumni 
Action  Committee  stirred  In  me 
the  old  desire  I  had  as  managing 
editor  of  The  Record  to  put  my 
thoushts  on  the  editorial  page. 

In  the  first  place,  the  Alumni 
Action  Committee  bases  Its  argu- 
ment chiefly  on  the  idea  that  Im- 
plementation of  the  Angevine  rec- 
ommendations would  be  unpopular 
with  the  alumni  and  undergrad- 
uates. As  a  teacher,  I  reject  this 
argument  on  the  grounds  that 
what  is  popular  is  not  necessarily 
what  is  educationally  sound.  I  am 
convinced  that  if  educators  were 
bound  to  offer  programs  on  the 
ba.sis  of  their  popularity  the  re- 
sult would  be  a  mish  mash  of 
trivia  and  the  encouragement  of 
anti-intellectual  values. 

Secondly,  when  the  Alumni  Ac 
tion  Committee  has  asserted  that 
implementations  of  the  Angevine 
Reiwrt  will  not  serve  the  best  in 
terests  of  the  college  (and  they 
rarely  have  based  their  argument 
on  this  point),  they  have  offered 
not  one  shred  of  evidence  in  sup 
port  of  this  assertion,  save  that 
about  two-thirds  of  the  alumni 
think  it  will  not.  Thoughtful 
members  of  the  Williams  Com- 
munity will  reject  this  claim  be- 
cause they  realize  that  market 
surv.  y  ttciiniques  are  not  the  best 
mctlud  of  cotcrmining  education- 
al obJL'O lives.  Rather,  these  aims 
are  .set,  and  should  be  set,  by  dil- 
igent philosophical  inquiry.  This 
technique  probably  is  anathema  to 
those  who  believe  that  a  scienti- 
fically determined  marketable 
value  denotes  what  is  good  and 
what  is  bad.  Furthermore,  market 
surveys  are  improper  methods  of 
determining  whether  or  not  these 
objectives  are  being  met.  This 
question  can  only  be  answered  by 
measuring  what  actually  goes  on 
on  campus  against  the  criteria  es- 
tablished by  the  aims  theraselves. 

I  have  every  reason  to  believe 
that  the  trustees  have  philosophi- 
cally determined  the  objectives  of 
the  Williams  education.  Fui'ther- 
more,  I  have  every  reason  to  be- 
lieve that  their  arduous  investi- 
gation of  the  fraternity  system  at 
Williams  showed  that  this  decay- 
ing institution  was  no  longer  con- 
sistent with  those  aims  (if  it  ever 
was).  Hence,  I  have  every  reason 
to  believe  that  the  trustees  acted 
to  .serve  the  best  interests  of  Wil- 
liams when  they  voted  to  imple- 
ment the  Angevine  proposals  last 
spring.  Finally,  having  listened  to 
Mr.  Talcott  Banks,  I  am  con- 
vinced that  he  and  his  committees

are  seeking  to  establish  a  new

consistent  with  the  aims  of  the 
college. 

My  only  reservation  is  that  the 
trustees  might  think  that  what 
ever  ails  the  quality  of  education 
at  Williams  will  be  cured  by  this 
modification  of  the  .social  system. 
I  would  hope  that  they  will  con- 
tinue to  investigate  the  curricu- 
lum, the  hiring  policy,  the  salary 
scale,  the  extra-curriculum,  and 
all  other  aspects  of  the  college  in 
the  same  painstaking  way  in 
which  they  examined  the  frater- 
nities. If  they  do,  the  hope  for 
Williams  maintaining  its  leader- 
ship among  the  .small  colleges  is 
bright.

governments  in  Africa. 

Looking  on  the  gloomier  side. 
Foot  gave  a  candid  appraisal  of 
the  situation  in  Africa  today,  a 
situation  which  he  called  "ter- 
rifying" and  "appalling."  Terrible 
poverty,  artificial  frontiers  left 
over  from  the  colonial  past,  and 
smoldering  resentment  toward 
race  policies  in  central  and  south- 
ern Africa  bode  ill  for  the  future. 

The  African  states  have  many 
problems,  but  Sir  Hugh  sees  many 
assets  which  they  all  share: 
a  keen  insight  into  the  ways  of 
Europeans,  their  former  masters; 
a  determination  to  make  up  their 
own  minds  and  state  their  own 
views;  a  passionate  belief  in  na- 
tional independence;  and  strong 
■support  of  effective  international 
organization  in  the  form  of  the 
United  Nations. 


Springfield  Surprises 
Shawmen  By  76-89; 
Voorhees   Tallies  20 

After  battling  lor  the  lead 
thiough  most  of  the  contest,  the 
Ephmen  finally  dropped  a  hard 
fought  76-69  decision  to  Spring- 
field College.  It  was  the  fifth  set- 
back against  eight  wins  for  the 
Purple. 

In  what  was  a  tight  game  from 
the  opening  tap,  Springfield  led 
almost  from  the  start.  Williams 
led  6-5  early  in  the  contest. 
Springfield  converted  12  straight 
points  for  their  biggest  advantage 
in  the  game. 

Dan  Voorliees  and  Roger  Wil- 
liams clo.sed  the  gap  to  a  single 
basket,  but  by  half  time  the  Ma- 
roon offense  had  extended  the 
margin  to  37-30.  Voorhees  was 
liigh  man  for  the  Epha  with  20 
points.  Roger  Williams  added  17, 
Pete  Obourn  11  and  Al  Foster  10. 

Midway  in  the  second  half  Wil- 
liams again  came  within  two 
points  of  a  tie  before  the  In- 
dians' Fred  Bredice  came  off  the 
bench  to  score  ten  vital  points 
going  down  the  stretch. 

Ephs  Close  Gap 

Springfield  held  a  shakey  56-54 
margin.  Tom  Argir  dropped  in  two 
foul  .shots  for  the  Maroon,  while 
Steve  Weinstock  countered  with  a 
single.  Voorhees  and  Williams 
later  closed  the  gap  to  three  with 
a  couple  of  baskets.  With  less 
than  five  minutes  remaining  in 
the  game  Marinko  converted  two 
free  throws,  and  Bredice  added 
four  more  to  give  Springfield  a 
solid  68-59  lead. 

Fresh  Also  Lose 

The  freshmen  lost  their  contest 
with  Springfield  89-75.  Trailing 
42-31  at  the  halftime  break  Wil- 
liams moved  to  within  one  point 
of  their  opponents  but  an  offen- 
sive surge  by  Springfield  brought 
the  frosh  their  first  defeat  against 
five  victories.

To  he  sure,  "//  roonnnates  are  not  had.  There  is  the  well-

But  1  digress.  Hooinmates,  I  say,  are  still  witli  us  and  I 
fear  they  always  will  be,  so  we  better  learn  how  to  get  along 
with  tlicin.  It  can  be  done,  you  know.  Take,  for  instance,  the 
classic  case  of  Dolly  Pitcher  and  Molly  Madison. 

Dolly  and  Molly,  roommates  at  a  iirotnincnt  Midwestern 
girls'  school  (Vas.sar)  had  a  problem  that  seemed  insolul)lc.  Dolly 
coidd  only  study  late  at  night,  and  Molly  could  not  stay  awake 
past  nine  o'clock.  If  Dolly  kept  the  lights  on,  the  room  was  too 
bright  for  Molly  to  slee)).  If  Molly  turned  the  lights  off,  the 
room  was  too  dark  for  Dolly  to  study.  What  to  do"? 

Well  sir,  those  two  intelligent  American  kids  found  an  an- 
swer. They  got  a  miner's  caj)  for  Dolly!  Thus,  she  had  enough 
light  to  study  by,  and  still  the  room  was  dark  enough  for 
Molly  to  sleep. 

It  must  be  admitted,  however,  that  this  .solution,  ingenious 
as  it  w.'is,  liad  .some  unexpected  seiiuelac.  Dolly  got  so  en- 
chanted with  her  miner's  cap  that  she  switched  her  major  from 
18th  Century  jioctry  to  mining  and  nu'tallurgy.  Shortly  after 
graduation  slie  had  what  appeared  to  be  a  great  stroke  of  luck: 
while  out  prospecting,  she  discovered  what  is  without  question 
the  world's  largest  feldspar  mine.  This  might  have  made  Dolly 
very  rieb  (>xcept  that  nobody,  alas,  has  yet  discovered  a  use  for 
feldspar.  Today  Dolly,  a  broken  woman,  scjueezes  out  a  meagre 
living  nuiking  echoes  for  tourists  in  Manmioth  Cave. 

Nor  has  Molly  fared  conspicuously  better.  Once  Dolly  got 
the  miner's  hat,  Molly  was  able  to  catch  up  on  her  long-lost 
sleep.  She  woke  after  eight  days,  refreshed  and  vigorous  -more 
vigorous,  alas,  than  .she  realized.  It  was  the  afternoon  of  the 
annual  Dean's  tea.  Molly  stood  in  line  with  her  classmates, 
wiiiting  to  shake  the  Dean's  hand.  At  last  her  turn  came,  and 
Molly,  full  of  strength  and  health,  gave  the  Dean  a  firm  hand- 
shake- so  firm,  indeed,  that  all  five  of  the  Dean's  knuckles 
were  permanently  fused. 

The  Dean  sued  for  a  million  dollars,  and,  of  course,  won.  To- 
day Molly,  a  broken  woniaTi,  is  i)aying  olY  her  debt  by  walking 
the  Dean's  cat  every  afternoon  for  ten  cents  an  hour.

Eph  Wrestlers  Prepare  For  Springfield, 
Smash  V  Mass  27-3,  Selvig,  Bmnett  Score  Pins 

The  Ei)h  wrestlers  evened  their  season  record  at  2-2  Tuesday  when  they  crushed  a  hapless 
UMass  eoiitiim-nt  27-3  in  an  away  rjieet.  Tlie  monieiit  of  truth  comes  tomorrow,  however,  when 
they  face  uncJefeated  Sprhigfield,  the  only  major  wrestling  power  on  their  schedule,  on  the  Lasclj

Williams  Dumps  Colby 
7-3;   Season    Ncjw   Even 


Roused  by  a  revitalized  first 
line,  the  varsity  hockey  team  ev- 
ened its  record  at  7-7  for  the 
season  by  defeating  Colby  College 
7-3  here  Tuesday  evening.  The 
victory  ended  a  string  of  four 
consecutive  defeats  suffered  by 
Williams  over  tlie  last  two  weeks. 

With  the  addition  of  Gene 
Goodwillie  '63  to  a  wing  position 
on  the  line  composed  of  scoring 
leader  Tom  Roe  and  Andy  Holt, 
both  seniors,  a  scoring  punch  was 
added.  In  the  Colby  game  Co- 
Capt.  Roe  tallied  a  hat-trick  and 
two  feathers  to  run  away  with 
.scoring   honors  for  the  game. 

Wingman  Andy  Holt  got  the 
other  two  goals,  both  of  which 
were  scored  with  assists  from  cen- 
ter Roe.  The  first  period  was  rath- 
er evenly  played  ending  with  the 
score  tied  at  two  goals  apiece. 
As  usual  the  opposition  scored  the 
first  goal  as  the  Williams  defense 
sagged  under  the  initial  onslaught. 

The  landslide  came  in  the  sec- 


ond period  with  a  four  goal  splur- 
ge putting  the  homo  team  in  the 
lead.  Tom  Roe  put  on  his  best 
display  of  attacking  power  seen 
on  the  home  ice  to  date.  In  one 
solo  effort  he  finessed  Colby's 
star  defenscman  Mechem  and  beat 
the  goalie  from  thirty  feet.  At 
this  point  the  visitors  attack  and 
defense  started  to  crumble  as  the 
over- taxed  Colby  squad  was  over- 
whelmed by  a  consistent  pressure 
from  Williams'  three  lines. 

During  the  second  and  third 
periods  the  Williams  defense 
tightened  up  significantly,  fairing 
well  against  repeated  three-on- 
two  breaks  by  the  visitors.  The 
saves  by  the  goalies  were  15  and  3 
for  the  Colby  goalie  and  Co-Capt. 
Bob  Rich,  respectively. 

In  the  final  period  Colby's  at- 
tack was  somewhat  more  concen- 
trated but  it  resulted  in  only  one 
goal  in  the  last  two  minutes  of 
the    game.

Springfield's  star-studded  line 
up  boasts  three  defending  New 
Elngland  champions  and  one  run- 
ner-up. Scores  indicative  of  their 
strength  are  wins  over  Yale,  29-3, 
F  &  M,  29-2,  Hofstra,  20-10,  Wes- 
leyan.  31-5,  Cornell,  14-11  and  a 
13-13  tic  with  Army. 

Unawed,  however,  the  regular 
Eph  point-getters  are  setting  ihcir 
sights  on  their  individual  enemies. 
Co-captain  Jim  Bieber  will  place 
his  undefeated  string  on  the  line 
against  NE  champ  Pox,  and  soiJli 
standouts  Pete  Fi-iedman  and  Art 
Wheelock  will  meet  Gessford  and 
Cerra  at  147  and  157.  Jay  Selvig, 
third  place  winner  at  177  in  the 
frosh  New  Englands,  will  tackle 
Schmutz,  who  took  the  same  spot 
at  heavyweight. 

In  Shape  For  UMass 

The  months  of  conditioning  un- 
der Coach  Pete  DeLisser  paid  off 
against  UMass,  as  almost  every 
Williams  g  r  a  p  p  1  e  r  completely 
dominated  his  match.  Bieber  and 
137-poinder  John  Winfleld  look  7- 
0  and  13-2  decisions  while  both 
Selvig  and  heavyweight  Bill  Bur- 
nett registered  pins  early  in  their 
matches. 

Jeff  Howard  won  handily  at 
167,  his  opponent  being  penalized 
for  stalling  to  avoid  the  pin. 
Wheelock  continued  hdlding  h  i  s 
own  in  the  over-tough  157  spot, 
inching  out  a  7-6  decision  on  rid- 
ing time. 

The  home  team's  lone  three 
points  came  when  their  captain 
defeated  Friedman  11-6.  The  123- 
pound  match  was  forfeited  to  Wil- 
liams' John  Kifncr.  who  had 
sweated  away  over  15  pounds  in 
a  week  to  take  over  the  slot.

Frosh  Wrestlers  Win 
McLean  Pin  Decides 

In  an  exciting,  pin-studded 
match,  the  Eph  freslunan  wrest- 
lers imitated  their  elders  Tuesday 
in  defeating  UMass,  23-15.  Pins  by 
Dave  KoUender,  Gil  Watson  and 
Marty  McLean  were  the  deciding 
factors. 

UMass  and  Williams  traded  for- 
feits in  the  123  and  130-pound 
classes,  although  Chip  Malcolm 
pinned  his  man  at  2:15  in  exhi- 
bition. Jay  Goldsmith  was  shown 
the  lights  in  the  first  period,  but 
Kollender  evened  the  match  at  10- 
10  by  putting  his  opponent  away 
at  7:29. 

Gary  Millet  won  a  6-1  decision 
at  157,  then  Watson  came  through 
with  the  pin  with  45  seconds  re- 
maining. Ned  Davis  was  pinned 
by  the  UMass  captain,  leaving 
the  Ephs  ahead,   18-15. 

With  the  pressure  on,  heavy- 
weight McLean,  well-experienced 
but  only  practicing  with  the  team 
since  exams,  put  the  match  on 
ice  with  a  pin  at  4:12. 

Squash  Wins  5-4, 
Dartmouth  Victim 

The  Williams  squashmen  took 
the  courts  against  Dartmouth  yes- 
terday, and  came  out  on  top  in  an 
encouragingly  good  match  by  a 
close  5-4  margin.  The  aggregate 
score  is  not  Indicative  of  the 
closeness  of  the  matches.  Most 
were  one-sided  three-game  affairs, 
and  only  two  were  extended  the 
full  five  games. 

The  crucial  match  of  the  day, 
however,  was  of  the  latter  variety, 
in  which  Chuck  Elliott  regained 
his  form  in  the  fifth  game  to 
finally  beat  Lord  of  Dartmouth 
by  two  points.  The  pattern  of  play 
established  early  in  the  year  held 
true. 

The  Ephs  exhibited  a  clear  sup- 
eriority in  the  upper  matches,  but 
ran  into  trouble  lower  down  the 
ladder.  George  Boltrcs'  match  was 
a  happy  exception  to  the  rule  - 
he  played  quite  well  to  secure 
Williams  only  Its  second  victory 
in  positions  7-9  this  season.

Bowden  Elected  Frosh  President; 
Anderson,  Cunningham  Fill  Ofiices 

In  a  run-off  election  for  the  office  of  class  President  the 
Freshmen  turned  out  in  droves  to  elect  William  P.  Bowden  to  the 
first  office  of  tiie  class.  James  B.  Anderson  '66  will  he  Secretary- 
Treasurci-  of  the  class  and  Robert  ].  Cuimingham  is  the  Freshman 
representative      to      the      College 


Council. 

About  95  per  cent  of  the  class 
voted  In  the  election  which  was 
characterized  as  "close"  by  Bill 
Rose  '64  who  ran  the  election  un- 
der the  auspices  of  the  College 
Council.  The  alternate  representa- 
tive to  the  Council  is  Melvin  S. 
Morse,  Jr.  of  Pasadena,  California. 
Only  Bowden  Is  a  repeat  from  the 
temporary  Frosh  officers  of  the 
first  semester  at  which  time  he 
was  chairman  of  the  Social  Com- 
mittee. 

The  present  slate  of  officers  will 
bo  fortunate  enough  to  be  in  the 
midst  of  the  forthcoming  College 
Council  activity  likely  to  arise  as 
the  first  pai;t  of  the  social  unit

Campus  Hit  By  Flue 
As  Infirmary  Loaded 
ByCarnivalCasualties 

The  Inclemency  of  arctic  Feb- 
ruary Invariably  synthesizes  with 
the  over-zealousness  of  Winter 
Carnival  to  produce  conjestion  of 
the  College  Infirmary.  This  past 
week  and  one-half  have  witnessed 
a  .sharp  Increase  in  Williams  res- 
piratory infections,  striding  tow- 
ard epidemic   proportions. 

Ever  since  last  fall  the  Public 
Health  Agency  has  been  predict- 
ing an  epidemic,  perhaps  of  the 
Asian  Flu,  which  swept  the  cam- 
pus in  1957,  pressing  Baxter  Hall 
into  service  as  a  sick-barracks.  In- 
fluenza has  already  struck  Cor- 
nell and  the  Great  Lakes  Ti-ain- 
ing  Station,  and  was  reportedly 
taking  Vassar  girls  to  bed,  in  ut- 
ter defiance  of  their  dean's  pro- 
testations. 

As  of  last  Friday,  there  were 
indications  that  the  wave  of  dis- 
ease here  had  broken  before 
reaching  the  epidemic  stage.  The 
State  Health  Lab  in  Boston  is 
conducting  tests  to  determine  the 
nature  of  the  malady,  but  will 
probably  report  too  late  to  catch 
the  sickness  inprogress.  However, 
whether  It  is  Asian  Flu  or  not 
does  not  determine  the  treatment 
appropriate.

Operation  Haystack  Selects  Eight 
To  Work  Summer  In  Hong  Kong 


McPherson    Views  Ethics^   Politics: 
'Ambiguity  Leads  lo   Corruption^ 

By  Douglas  Rose 

The  relationship  between  politics  and  ethics  inspired  a  two- 
day  running  dialogue  between  llany  C.  McPherson  and  Williams 
College.  Starting  on  Sunday  at  a  Faculty  Club  discussion,  Wil- 
liams faculty  meinhers  and  students  investigated  the  ethical  and 
political  ramifications  of  the  experiences  of  McPherson,  the  coun- 
sel for  the  U.  S.  Senate  Demoeratie  Policy  Committee.  The  im- 
portance of  these  ramifications  was  stressed  by  McPherson;  "un- 
less a  jjerson  'opts  out'  of  life,  politics  and  ethics  are  important." 
Personal  decision-making  was  McPherson 's  Concern.  The 
problem  rests  upon  the  "ainhiguity"  of  decisions;  conflicting 
values,  the  weighing  of  values,  the  choice  between  two  "right" 
courses  or  two  "wrong"  clioices,  and  the  tension  between  the 
"ought"  and  the  ")30ssible"  were  for  McPherson  the  ethical  ques- 
tions essentially  posed  by  a  political  life. 

The  Democratic  counsel  stressed  tliat  jiower  corrupts,  and  that 
most  human  relationships  are  power  relationships.  The  "jiersonal 
power  relationships,"  as  well  as  the  ))olitical,  corrupt  the  ideal  of 
an  honest,  critically  intelligent,  outspokenly  forthright,  sensitive 
to  others  response  a  situation  of  a  decision. 

Even  without  this  corruption, 
the  ambiguity  of  choice  and  the 
resulting  uncertainty,  insecurity, 
and  self-examination  may  force 
the  decision  maker  away  from 
pragmatism,  said  McPherson.  Ra- 
tionalization, seeking  the  security 
of  a  "camp"  or  an  ideology,  and 
the  absence  of  the  question,  "Wlio 
am  I?"  will  force  the  politician 
away  from  deciding  on  the  basis 
of  the  seeming  insoluable  many- 
sidedness  of  a  question. 

McPherson  posed  these  problems 
in  his  Sunday  sermon  on  the 
Christian  ethic  and  American  pol- 
itics. The  answer  or  solution  to 
the  problem  of  ambiguity  and 
corruption  is,  in  McPherson's  op- 
inion, having  internal  and  exter- 
nal support  which  does  depend 
upon  the  correctness  of  decisions. 
The  internal  support  comes 
from  belief  in  Christianity,  the 
doctrine  of  salvation  and  forgive- 
ness. Communal  support  in  recog- 
nizing and  sympathizing  with  the 
difficulty  of  decision-making,  the 
inevitable  mistakes,  and  the  ten- 
dency to  escape  the  dilemma  of 
decision-making. 
'Political  Day' 

Monday  was  'political'  day,  as 
McPherson  addressed  a  Political 
Science  class  and  a  Student  Un- 
ion group  about  the  Senate  maj- 
ority leader,  the  Democratic  Pol- 
icy Committee,  and  the  vocation 
of  politics. 

The  historic  oddity  of  Lyndon 
B.  Johnson,  former  majority  lead- 
er, was  brought  out  by  McPher- 
son. In  contrast  with  his  prede- 
cessors and  the  present  majority 
leader,  Mike  Mansfield,  the  pre- 
sent vice-president  combined  the 
utmost  in  official  Senate  power 
with  actual  power.  According  to 
McPherson,  this  was  partly  due 
to  the  political  nature  of  John- 
son and  partly  due  to  the  domes- 
tic inertia  of  President  Eisenhow- 
er.

The  following  Williams  students 
have  been  selected  to  spend  the 
summer  in  Hong  Kong  under  the 
auspices  of  Operation  Haystack: 
Steve  Doughty  '64,  George  Ren- 
wick  '63,  Lynn  White  '63,  Holt 
Quintan  '63,  John  Connor  '63, 
John  Wilson  '64,  and  Jay  Ror- 
lich  '63. 

The  group  will  be  led  by  Steve 
Brumberg  '63  who  spent  last  sum- 
mer on  the  program.  The  eight 
students  will  be  kept  busy  teach- 
ing at  New  Asia  College  and  work- 
ing in  the  over-crowded  refugee 
camps  that  dot   Hong  Kong. 

Chaplain  Eusden,  head  of  the 
Haystack  selection  committee,  des- 


cribes Hong  Kong  as  "one  of  the 
most  depressed  areas  in  the  world, 
a  situation  that  is  constantly  ag- 
gravated by  the  steady  influx  of 
disenchanted  refugees. 

Eusden  foresees  "a  larger  en- 
rollment at  New  Asia  College," 
and  more  work  at  the  refugee 
centers.  This  accounts  for  the  ad- 
dition of  an  eight  member  to  the 
squad  and  explains  the  20  hour 
teaching    week    that   faces   them. 

The  teaching  program  at  New 
Asia  College  consists  of  language 
instruction  in  English  and  various 
non-credit  seminars  in  History, 
political  science,  literature  and 
such  other  esoteric  subjects  as 
race  relations. 


Brecht  Next  At  AMT 


By  Lee  Richmond 

Betty  Aberlin  and  Bill  Prosser 
'64,  cast  as  Polly  Peachum  and 
Mack  the  Knife,  will  lead  the  up- 
coming AMT  production  of  'Three- 
penny Opera'  which  opens  March 
1  for  a  two- weekend  stand. 

They  win  be  supported  by  Judy 
Meeder  and  Borden  Snow,  '64  who 
play  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Peachum,  own- 
ers of  The  Beggars'  Big  Brother, 
an  institution  catering  to  profes- 
sional beggars.  Also  holding  lead- 
ing roles  are  Diane  Versenyi,  Ruth 
Hunt,  Wood  Lockhart  '63,  Dick 
Berger  '63,  and  Lee  Richmond  '65. 

Cast  of  Veterans 

Miss  Aberlin,  a  Bennington  sen- 
ior and  veteran  performer,  burst 
onto  the  AMT  stage  with  "Paul 
Slickey"  three  years  ago,  and  has 
since  been  seen  in  "Happier  Hunt- 
ing Ground",  "Summer  House", 
and  "Picnic".  Prosser,  another 
veteran,  made  his  Amt  debut  with 
"Prometheus  Bound"  in  his  Pi-esh- 
man  year,  and  went  on  to  play 
leading  roles  in  "Death  of  a  Sales- 
man", "Guys  and  Dolls",  "Picnic", 
and  the  Experimental  Theatre 
production  of  "Endgame". 

Judy  Meeder,  wife  of  AMT  As- 
sistant Director  Phil  Meeder,  has 
played  in  "Tartuffe"  at  the  AMT 
and  has  appeared  opposite  her 
husband  in  several  Army  shows, 
among  them  "Pajama  Game". 
Borden  Snow,  well-known  Wil- 
liams folksinger  and  banjo-pick- 
er, has  played  Tom  in  "The  Glass 
Menagerie". 

Staff  Entorged 

For  this  performance  the  AMT 
staff  will  be  augmented  by  Rob- 
ert T.  "Williams  and  Monte  Aub- 
rey, designer  and  musical  director. 
Both  New  York  professionals  are 
veterans  of  last  year's  musical, 
"Guys  and  Dolls". 

Williams,  who  was  the  designer 
for  "Picnic ",  win  handle  sets  and 


JOHN  VON  SZELiSKI 
Now  working  on  "Threepenny  Opero" 

costumes  for  "Threepenny".  He  is 
currently  asociated  with  the  Eq- 
uity Library  Theatre,  and  teaches 
scene  design  In  the  New  York 
Area. 

Aubrey  is  based  this  year  at  the 
Music  Box  Theatre  in  New  York 
which  specializes  in  children's 
shows.  He  hopes  to  assemble  an 
eight-piece  orchestra  for  "Three- 
penny", and  invites  any  players  of 
saxophone,  trumpet,  bass,  banjo, 
drums,  clarinet,  or  harmonium  in 
the  area  who  are  interested  to  con- 
tact the  AMT  box  office.  Derek 
Hunt,  Technical  Director  of  the 
AMT,  win  handle  both  the  build- 
ing of  the  sets  and  the  lighting 
for  the  production. 

Tickets,  a  steal,  at  two  dollars 
or  by  AMT  ID  card,  are  now  a- 
vailable  at  the  box-office  for  per- 
formances on  the  1,  2,  7,  8,  and  9 
of  March.

Gargoyle   Plans 
Morehouse  Trip 

A  special  Gargoyle  committee, 
headed  by  Bill  Boyd  '63,  is  setting 
up  a  student  exchange  pro- 
gram with  Atlanta's  Morehouse 
College,  following  the  same  format 
as  last  year's  successful  Howard 
U.  innovation. 

Although  final  arrangements 
are  still  pending,  Boyd  envisions  a 
limited  number  of  Williams  stu- 
dents spending  a  week  of  spring 
vacation  at  the  Southern  Negro 
college,  followed  by  a  visit  to  Wil- 
liams by  an  equal  number  of 
Morehouse  undergrads. 

Any  student  interested  in  either 
participating  in  the  exchange  or 
in  providing  room  for  one  of  the 
Morehouse  students  should  leave 
their  names  with  the  Dean's  sec- 
retary in  the  next  few  weeks.

On    Ihe    C(^  And   Responsibility 


by  Dave  Appelbaum 

College  Council  elections  are  over.  A  note  ol 
(Jrama  and  excitement  was  injected  into  the 
usually  dreary  and  letliarj;ic  procedure  tlii.s  year, 
itliat  iuid  always  been  a  nej^lected  or  ()\erlooked 
matter  of  enfranchisement  suddenly  became  a 
concern  of  utmost  importance,  with  a  resulting 
vote  of  80  per  cent  of  the  junior  class  and  67  per 
cent  of  the  sophomore  class. 

Yet  the  impressive  display  of  civic  duty  was 
immediately  decried  by  the  forces  of  la  liberal- 
sim.  The  election,  they  perhaps  rightly  claimed, 
had  been  turned  into  a  couj)  by  an  aggressive 
Undergraduate  Committee  I'or  the  Best  Inter- 
est of  Williams  College.  The  aforementioned  or- 
ganization, it  seemed,  had  aroused  voting  en- 
musiasm,  formerly  belied  by  a  heavy  ai^athy,  by 
means  of  a  force  so  powerful  that  it  carried 
fraternity  men  from  all  corners  of  this  sprawling 
campus  to  a  Baxter  Hal!  which  they  had  visited 
only  during  occasional  rushing  sprees.  By  hook 
or  crook,  by  offers  of  transportation  or  free  15e 
Cokes,  say  these  embittered  few,  the  fraternity 
men  voted— voted  according  to  pro-Angevines, 
following  the  dictates  of  the  voting-interest 
arousers. 

Futhermore,  offer  these  woe-begotten  losers, 
the  ballot  was  so  arranged  by  said  UCFTBIO- 
WC  so  that  it  carried  only  their  endorsed  fav- 
orite sons.  These  candidates,  they  maintain,  were 
inveigled  into  the  realm  of  political  espionage, 
tossing  their  proverbial  frat  beanies  into  the  ring 
at  the  most  singular  request  of  said  Committee. 
Hence,  a  stacked  ballot  for  which  to  elect  only 
their  "kind"  of  candidate. 

In  clear  fact,  however,  none  of  this  tale  of  the 

Roosevelt  era  is  pertinent  save  to  some  campus 

chronicler.  Whether  the  UCFTBIOWC  did  aid 

in  voting  procedure,  or  students'  compunction 

under   the  heavy  rein  of  campus   issue  betook 

them  to  the  voting  machines  does  not  matter. 

The  vote,  after  all,  was  a  legal  and  above-board 

one;  though  such  political  log-rolling  might  be 

outside  of  the  spirit  (or  at  least  the  experience) 

of  a  dull  college  election,  it  remains  well  with- 

■'  ••  vo-'m  nf  possibility  and  privilege  of  the 

*  ^^ini  may  have  been  effectuated, 

■ppc:iliiig  only  the  afficiauado 

v]'  i  ii--'.  a-  d  ir  point  of  fact,  a  vast 

For  the  outcome  of  the  election  was  a  fore- 
gone conclusion  before  even  the  first  voter  cast 
his  ballot.  Indeed  it  shaped  up  to  be  quite  similar 


to  many  jorevious  College  Council,  elections, 
especially  those  of  tlie  present  epoch.  The  list  of 
candidates  was  notably  lacking  in  terms  of  (|nal- 
ifications  and  ability,  especially  in  the  junior 
class.  It  ajjpears  to  be  a  tiait  of  the  Williams 
political  environineiit  that  competent  CC  mem- 
oers  become  disgusted  and  disillusioned  with  the 
do-nothing  task  of  kowtowing  to  the  faculty  and 
administration,  and  seek  fulfillment  in  otlier 
fields. 

This  was  the  case  again  tills  year.  Several  well 
qualified  and  gifted  leaders  dismissed  tlie  op- 
portunity to  gain  notoriety  as  an  infamous  class 
officer,  and  sought  ]5ositions  through  fraternity 
elections  to  that  organization  which  best  secures 
that  modicum  of  legislation  available  to  the  un- 
dergraduate, the  Social  Council.  Through  this 
medium,  they  apparently  concluded,  a  better 
chance  existed  to  control  any  campus  situation 
that  they  thought  needed  controlling.  Thus  widi 
lew  exceptions,  the  College  Council  was  left 
bereft  of  leadership. 

If  the  CC  was  handpicked  by  the  UCFT- 
BIOWC in  order  to  control  fraternity  dicta,  or 
not;  if  the  CC  is  comjirised  of  members  seeking 
to  maintain  the  ])resent  fraternity  balance  on 
campus  and  flaunt  the  Angevine  report,  or  not, 
it  has  placed  itself  in  a  rather  awkard  position. 
It  has  stationed  itself  under  the  shadow  of  res- 
|)onsibility,  a  shadow  which  never  leaves  the  CC 
even  upon  the  most  sunless  day  in  January.  If 
the  Council  manages  to  transcend  its  own  in- 
herent powerlessness  and  legislates,  or  if  it  ac- 
tivates itself  and  administrates,  it  must  do  so 
with  responsibility.  Attempting  to  place  the  frat- 
ernity polls  in  a  position  of  discord  with  Stand- 
ing Committee  action  will  no  doubt  bring  about 
its  own  death,  for  the  College  will  then  divest 
the  CC  of  any  remaining  power,  while  the 
faculty  and  administration  will  overlook  its  work- 
ings, much  as  they  are  now  blind  to  the  present 
schemes  of  the  UCFTBIOWC.  The  College 
Council  may  act,  but  it  must  act  with  a  certain 
levelheadedness,  and,  forgetting  its  proud  sec- 
ular past,  with  an  eye  ever  to  the  inevitable 
future. 

And  no  doubt,  the  CC  will  realize  this,  for  it 
is  invested  with  a  certain  reflectiveness.  It  will 
be  given  its  first  real  (and  perhaps  only)  test  in 
the  upcoming  appointment  of  Student  Com- 
mittees. In  these  committees,  it  must  disinterest- 
edly pick  the  best  candidates,  withoio  considera- 
tion for  social  affiliation  or  political  bias.

It  Stinks,  But  It  Sells 

by  Feb  Bloom 

Riding  the  tidal  wave  of  another  special  weekend,  the  Pmuk 
Cow  has  been  scattered  over  the  campus;  its  editor,  Sinion<ls,  has 
collected  his  bundle  and  has  cned  "all  the  way  to  the  bank."  if 
there  is  any  reason  why  anyone  bought  this  shining  little  heap  of 
wit,  it  must  be  because:  it  is  big  for  a  Cow  (32pp);  the  cover  inti. 
mates  that  it  is  put  out  especially  for  "CAR-NIVAL";  about  eigli. 
teen  of  its  32  jiages  serve  as  a  program  for  the  college  events.  But 
it  seems  rather  naive  to  assume  that  the  Cow  has  anything  luim. 
orous  to  offer. 

The  usual  section,  'Td  Rather  See  Than  Be,  reads  somcwliat 
like  vichy,soisse  tastes,  as  Simonds  plays  Isaac  Hickerstafl.  On,, 
reads  his  discussion  of  Off  Camjms,  a  pubescent  Playbov-lype 
magazine,  with  a  sense  of  irony  as  the  Cow,  itself,  provides  a  good 
example  of  how  mediocre  college  humor  can  be.  Also,  with  clijld- 
ish  coyness  Simonds  aims  a  hollow  shaft  at  the  RECORD,  and  tluit 
tmfortunate  "fellow  Wiley's  review,"  using  the  phrase  "howHiig 
wilderness"  in  reference  to  Wiley's  mind.  While  this  term  may  \w 
applicable  to  Wiley's  beard,  it  is  presumptuous  of  Simonds  to 
claim  psychological  insight. 

The  most  telling  proof  of  the  Cow's  drabness  is  the  lack  of  a 
table  of  contents  (instead,  the  phrase,  "Fhid  It  Yourself"  in  gothic 
type).  The  reason  is  obvious  when  one  finds  exactly  two  written 
pieces,  one  unsigned;  tliis  is  unfortunate  because  it  is  the  ixtter 
of  die  two.  The  other,  affixed  "C.H.  Simonds,"  is  a  re-hash  of  Ben- 
nington's rather  obvious  shortcomings.  Professor  Randall  [airel's 
description  of  "Benton  College"  is  more  amusing. 

With  a  Spring  Weekend  in  the  offing  (how  about  April  27?), 
the  wits  of  Williams  should  have  ample  time  to  rallv  and 
take  some  of  the  pressure  off  Simonds,  whose  efforts  deserve  somo 
kind  of  recognition.  Until  then,  the  RECORD  will  stand  out  as  tlie 
last  bastion  of  humor  in  Ephland. 


\.  My  theory  on  looking  for  a  job 
is— Play  it  big!  Shoot  for 
the  top !  Go  straight  to  the 
prez  for  your  interview. 


I  don't  know  any  president 


2.  Use  your  head,  man.  Have  your 
dad  set  up  appointments  witli 
some  of  the  big  shots  he  knows. 

He's  a  veterinarian. 


8.  Beautiful !  All  you  have  to  do 
is  find  a  president  who  likes 
dogs.  You'll  have  him  eating 
out  of  your  hand  in  no  time. 

I  don't  know  an  Elkhound 
from  an  Elk. 


4.  Frankly,  I  don't  know  what  else  to 
tell  you.  You've  got  a  problem. 

It's  not  as  bad  as  it  seems. 
My  idea  is  to  find  out  the  name 
of  the  employment  manager 
at  the  company  I'm  interested 
in.  Write  him  a  letter  telling  him 
my  qualifications.  Spell  out  my 
interests,  marks.  Simple  as  thiil. 


6.  Say,  could  you  set  something  up 
tor  me  at  Equitable? 

I'm  not  the  president, 
but  I'll  try. 


6.  A  letter  to  the  employment  manager! 
Ho  ho  ho !  You've  a  lot  to  learn. 

Then  how  come  I  landed  a 
great  job  at  Equitable— 
an  executive  training  spot 
that's  interesting,  pays 
a  good  salary  and  has  a  lot 
of  promise  for  the  future.

outside  of  a  playwriting  class;  in 
other  words  a  play  written  for  it- 
.self  rather  than  class  credit. 

Conceived  last  summer  and 
written  during  the  first  semester, 
Simon's  play  will  be  directed  by 
Philip  Meeder  '54  with  an  exper- 
ienced A.M.T.  cast.  In  the  lead  role 
is  Chris  Welch,  '65  playing  a  young 
married  man  involved  in  what 
Simon  calls  "a  desperate  search 
for  rational  reasons".  The  Waiting 
Room  in  the  tradition  of  Pinter 
and  Albee,  (Simon  frankly  admits 
their  influence),  is  a  plotless  play. 
Given  an  inherently  dramatic  sit- 
uation we  watch  the  main  charac- 
ters act  and  react  upon  each  other 
without  resolving  the  conflicts  in 
the  situation.  Given  a  domineering 
mother    (to    be   played  by   Anne 


Anderson)  and  a  father  who  has 
committed  suicide  before  the  op- 
ening of  the  play,  the  main  char- 
acter experiences  "the  birth  of  the 
absurd"  in  an  attempt  to  discover 
the  reason  for  his  father's  death, 

Simon  sees  the  play  as  his  own 
attempt  to  find  a  personal  writ- 
ing style.  Originally  conceived  as 
"bad  realism"  the  play  is  to  be 
staged  in  a  stylized  manner  point- 
ing up  the  comedy  and  absurdity 
which  Simon  has  written  into  the 
script.  Tlie  most  important  as 
pect  of  the  production  as  far  as 
the  author  is  concerned  is  that 
it  will  give  him  a  chance  to  see 
his   play   in    production.

McPherson  sees  Mansfield  as  a 
Senatorial  arm  and  supporter  of 
a  "strong"  president,  Kennedy. 
While  Johnson  was  the  "execu- 
tive on  Capitol  Hill,"  Mansfield 
must  try  to  push  through  a 
l)residentially  prescribed  program. 
The  difficulties  of  Mansfield's 
situation  McPherson  illustrated  by 
pointing  to  Johnson's  defeats  in 
the  summer  session  of  1960,  when 
Texas  Senator  was  trying  to  push 
thrftugh  the  national  Democratic 
Party's  presidential  campaign  pro- 
gram. This  program  represented 
the  "ought"  for  the  Democrats, 
but  the  compromises  which  are 
the  "possible"  never  evolved  and 
the  legislation  was  struck  down. 
The  Senate  Democratic  Policy 
Committee  acts  as  a  .sort  of  in- 
formal rules  committee,  explained 
McPherson.  Prospective  legisla- 
tion which  is  privately,  though 
not  publicly,  anathema  to  most 
members  can  be  held  up  by  the 
policy  committee. 

Responsibility  as  Virtue 
McPherson  sees  politics  as  one 
of  the  few  spheres  where  a  man 
can  make  meaningful  decisions. 
The  virtue  of  the  profession  is  its 
responsibility,  and  this  responsi- 
bility is   its  vice. 

Viewing  this  responsibility  as 
an  awesome  burden,  McPherson 
related  the  possibility  and  actual- 
ity of  its  destroying  the  decision- 
maker. Maintaining  the  delicate 
balance  between  ideologies,  be- 
tween mind  and  heart,  between 
"ought"  and  "can"  is  the  diffi- 
culty of  politics.  McPherson  be- 
lieves the  rejection  of  absolutist 
positions  necessary  and  a  prag- 
matic approach  is  the  best  and 
the  most  difficult.

CALPURNIA,  HERE  I  COME 

Now,  as  the  colloRe  year  approiiclies  its  mid-point,  one  fact 
emerges  clearly:  you  are  ail  Koi'iR  to  flunk  every  tiling. 

There  are  two  things  you  can  do  about  it.  First,  you  can 
marry  money.  (I  don't  moan  you  marry  the  money  itself;  I 
mean  you  marry  a  person  wlio  has  money.  Weddings  between 
people  and  currency  have  not  been  legal  anywhere  in  the  United 
States  since  the  Smoot-Hawley  Act.  Marlboro  Cigarettes,  on 
the  other  hand,  are  legal  everywliere  and  are,  indeed,  smoked 
with  great  pleasure  and  enthusiasm  in  all  fifty  states  of  the 
Union.  I  bring  up  Marlboro  Cigarettes  because  this  column  is 
sponsored  by  tlie  makers  of  Marlboro,  and  they  are  inclined  to 
brood  if  I  omit  to  mention  their  product.) 

But  I  digress.  I  was  saying  you  can  marry  money  but,  of 
course,  you  will  not  because  you  are  a  high-minded,  clean- 
living,  pure-hearted,  freckle-faced  American  kid.  Therefore,  to 
keep  from  flunking,  you  must  try  the  second  method:  you  must 
learn  how  to  take  lecture  notes. 

According  to  a  recent  survey,  123.6%  of  American  under- 
graduates do  not  know  the  proper  way  to  take  lecture  notes.  To 
illustrate  this  shocking  stati.stic,  let  us  suppose  you  are  taking 
a  course  in  history.  Let  us  further  suppose  the  lecturer  is  lec- 
turing on  the  ruling  houses  of  England.  You  listen  intently.  You 
write  diligently  in  your  notebook,  making  a  topic  outline  as  you 
have  been  taught.  Like  this: 
I.  House  of  Plantagenet. 
II.  House  of  Lancaster. 

III.  House  of  York. 

Then  you  stop.  You  put  aside  your  pen.  You  blink  back  a 
tear,  for  you  cannot  go  on.  Oh,  yes,  you  know  very  well  that  the 
next  ruling  house  is  the  House  of  Tudor.  The  trouble  is  you 
don't  know  the  Roman  numeral  that  comes  after  III. 


'""^evMi^WirM 


(It  may,  incidentally,  be  of  some  historical  interest  to  point 
out  that  Americans  are  not  the  only  people  who  don't  know 
Roman  numerals.  The  Romans  didn't  know  them  themselves. 
I  suppose  they  could  tell  you  how  much  V  or  X  were  or  like 
that,  but  when  it  came  to  real  cuties  like  LXI  or  MMC,  they 

i'ust  flang  away  their  styluses  and  went  downtown  to  have  a 
lath  and  take  in  a  circus  and  maybe  stab  Caesar  a  few  times. 

(You  may  wonder  why  Rome  stuck  with  these  ridiculous 
numerals  when  the  Arabs  had  such  a  nice,  simple  system.  Well 
sir,  the  fact  is  that  the  Emperor  Vespasian  tried  like  crazy  to 
buy  the  Arabic  numerals  from  Suleiman  the  Magnificent,  but 
Suleiman  wouldn't  do  business— not  even  when  Vespasian 
raised  his  bid  to  100,000  gold  piastres,  plus  he  offered  to  throw 
in  the  Colosseum,  the  Appian  Way,  and  Charlton  Heston. 

(So  Home  stuck  with  Roman  numerals— to  its  sorrow,  as  it 
turned  out.  One  day  in  the  Forum,  Cicero  and  Pliny  got  to 
arguing  aliout  how  much  is  CDL  times  MVfX.  Well  sir,  pretty 
soon  e\eryono  in  town  came  around  to  join  the  hassle.  In  all 
the  oxci lenient,  nobody  renienibercd  to  lock  the  north  gate  and 
—  wham!  — before  you  could  say  pccra  forlilcr,  in  rushed  the 
Goths,  the  Visigoths,  and  the  (Ireen  Day  Packers!) 

Well  sir,  that's  the  way  the  empire  crumbles,  and  I  digress. 
Let's  get  back  to  lecture  notes.  Let's  also  say  a  word  about 
Marlboro  Cigarettes.  The  makers  would  be  so  pleased!  And  is 
it  not  fitting  that  we  should  plea.sc  these  honest  tobacconists — 
these  fine  men,  fond  of  square  dancing,  water  sports,  protein, 
and  tjittoos  — these  tireless  jierfectionists  who  spend  all  of  their 
days  trying  to  plea.se  us— searching  everywhere  for  the  best  of 
all  ])()ssible  ti>baceos,  aging  them  with  patience,  blending  them 
with  tender,  loving  care?  Marlboros  are  nvailalile  in  soft  pack 
and  flii)  top  box.  You  will  find  XX  cigarettes  in  each  package.

By  P.  R.  Menldeg 

Eros,  characterized  as  a  "minor 
Greek  god  of  not  too  ancient  or- 
igin and  not  too  well  established 
divinity,"  had  his  lineage  dlsplay- 
id  by  Prof.  Laszlo  Versenyi  of  the 
Philosophy  Department  in  the  sec- 
ond Faculty  Lecture  of  the  current 
series,  given  Thui-sday  afternoon 
in  the  Thompson  Biology  Labora- 
tory. 

Before  an  overflow  audience 
Versenyi  traced  Eros'  evolution 
from  minor  divinity  In  Hesiodic 
and  Orphic  theogonies  into  the 
daimon  of  Socrates'  speech  in 
Plato's  Symposium.  The  current 
debasement  of  Erotica  from  its 
Socratic  conception  was  briefly  al- 
luded to  as  a  natural  reaction  to 
Plato's  anti-Socratic  transcenden- 
talism. 

In  the  Orphic  theogonies  Eros 
is  rather  "dualistic,  dirempt,  bi- 
morph  in  nature,"  compwsed  of  a 
"divine  or  good,  and  a  less  than 
divine,  Titanic,  or  bad  part." 

Turning  to  the  Symposium,  Ver- 
senyi noted  that  for  Socrates,  too, 
Eros  had  an  ambivalent  natui-e; 


neither  a  god  nor  a  mortal,  it  en- 
abled man  to  partake  of  a  kind 
of  divinity. 

"Human  love  is  nothing  but 
love  of  the  human  good.  It 
is  man's  tendency  toward  his  na- 
tural aim  and  end,  it  is  each  in- 
dividual's inborn  need  and  desire 
for  self-fulfillment.  Man  is  by 
nature  a  lover." 

Man,  however,  "is  a  creation 
with  a  fatal  flaw,  with  something 
essential  missing;  he  is  by  nature 
unequal  to  himself  yet  full  of  de- 
sire to  right  the  equation."  Yet, 
being  possessed  by  this  sense  of 
lack,  he  is  not  driven  by  gods, 
spirits,  external  fate.  Love,  though 
daimonic,  is  man's  "own  nature 
and    spirit." 

All  action  both  creative  and 
procreative,  towards  self-fulfill- 
ment must  originate  in  the  love 
of  what  we  need  to  make  us 
whole,  i.e..  the  good.  Thus  man 
becomes  immortal  through  love, 
for  "creating  and  leaving  behind 
what  is  good,  presei-ving  and  per- 
petuating what  they  love,  men 
create,  preserve  and  perpetuate 
themselves." 


In  the  latter  part  of  the  Sym- 
posium, however,  Versenyi  argued, 
Plato  has  completely  reversed  the 
Socratic  emphasis  on  the  possibil- 
ity of  human  fulfillment  as  an 
"immanent  transcendence."  For 
Plato  emphasizes  not  the  temporal 
movement  of  man  in  search  of  a. 
human  good,  but  the  atemporal, 
transcendent  final  object,  tlie 
Beautiful  itself. 

In  saying  this,  Plato  radically 
devaluates  all  other  human  pur- 
suits. But  for  possibility  of  tlii.s 
vision,  man  is  "mortal  trash  , . . 
Time  Itself  is  polluted;  nothing 
less  than  eternity  will  do." 

If  Plato  was  willing  to  negate 
so  much  of  human  existence,  as 
being  merely  mortal,  others  were 
more  than  willing  to  react  by 
overemphasizing  his  mortality. 
For,  observed  Versenyi,  "if  you 
starve  any  part  of  man,  It  will 
necessarily  loom  large  and  color 
the  imagination,  until  it  seems  to 
the  poor,  truncated,  fragmentary 
human  being,  as  if  his  whole  na- 
ture consisted  of  nothing  but  what 
is  here  so  fei"vently  denied  ..."

"Williams  Record,"  Williams  College  —  Feb.  13, 15, 20 


Bowdoin  Finmen  Down  Williams; 
Connard  Stars  In  48-47   Deleat 


The  titans  of  New  England 
swimming  met  In  the  Lassell  Pool 
Saturday  afternoon,  and  in  the 
season's  most  exciting  meet,  Wil- 
liams bowed  to  Bowdoin  48-47. 

As  might  be  expected  in  such  a 
contest,  several  records  were  es- 
tablished. More  important  for  the 
Eplunen,  who  seem  to  have  been 
dragging  their  fins  all  season, 
however,  were  embryonic  signs  of 
another  late  season  drive  which 
last  year  climaxed  in  a  N.E.  title. 

Two  N.E.  Records 

Jumping  off  to  a  fast  start, 
Bowdoln's  400  yard  medley  relay 
team  of  Edwards,  Leach,  Halford, 


and  Robinson  knocked  four  sec- 
onds of  their  own  N.E.  record,  set 
last  year  at  Amherst,  with 
the  time  of  3:51.6. 

Not  to  be  outdone,  Eph  co-cap- 
tain Carroll  Connard  who  seldom 
completes  a  meet  without  some 
sort  of  record,  staved  off  a  chal- 
lenge from  Bowdoin's  Seaver  to 
establish  a  New  EJngland  mark  of 
1:55.0  in  the  200  yard  freestyle. 

Seniors  Dave  Larry  and  John 
Moran  performed  ably  in  the  50 
yard  sprint  but  were  outdone  by 
Bowdoln's  Tilton  who  was  timed 
in  23.0.  Bowdoin  captain  Bill 
Coots  earned  a  first  in   the  200 


Deerfield  Drowns  Frosh  Mermen; 
Sears  Cops  Two  First  For  Ephs 


Last  Wednesday  the  frosh 
.swimmers,  facing  a  traditionally 
strong  Deerfield  team,  were  down- 
ed 54-41.  The  frosh  did,  however, 
make  a  stronger  bid  than  in  re- 
cent years,  and,  with  a  few  breaks, 
the  meet  could  have  gone  the 
other  way. 

Sears  Shears  Seconds 

Lew  Sears  was  the  only  Eph  to 
win  double,  copping  the  200  yard 
individual  medley  in  2:18.8,  and 
winning  the  100  yard  breaststroke 
in  1:10.8.  Co-captain  Jim  Rider 
took  first  in  the  400  yard  free- 
style in  4:18.6,  but  succumbed  to 
Deerfield  stalwart  Wilson's  1:55.2 
in  the  200  yard  freestyle. 

Other  places  garnered  by  the 
frosh  were  Ken  Kurtz,  third  in 
the  50  free,  Al  Kirkland,  second 
in  the  100  backstroke,  Don  Rodger 
second  and  third  respectively  in 
the  50  free  and  the  100  free,  and 
Tony  Ryan,  second  in  the  100 
butterfly.  The  freestyle  relay  team 
of  Al  Kl^'kland,  Tony  Ryan,  Carl 
Koughlln,  and  Doug  Stevens  cop- 
ped first  in  1:39.0.  The  race  was 
neck  and  neck  until  Stevens'  an- 
chor leg. 


Frosh  Beat  Choate; 
4-3   Racquet  Romp 

Overcoming  Nemesis,  the  Eph- 
Ii't  squash  team  handed  the 
.seldom-trounced  Choate  racquet 
.squad  a  4-3  defeat  Saturday. 

Bill  Ewen,  blissfully  unaware 
that  his  second  rank  match  would 
decide  the  contest,  chalked  up  a 
tense  3-2  victory  over  his  Choate 
opponent.  Captain  Peter  Allen 
.succumbed  to  a  British  import  but 
not  until  he  had  registered  wins 
at  15-10  and  15-8. 

Jeff  MiUington,  an  old  Choatie, 
Stu  Leber,  filling  Mitchell's  spot, 
and  Charles  Neumann  gave  the 
Purple  a  winning  majority  in  the 
fourth,  third,  and  seventh  slots 
respectively.  Bob  Rubin  in  fourth, 
despite  a  hopeful  15-8  triumph  in 
the  second  game,  succumbed  in 
four,  and  Paul  Hlrshman,  in  the 
sixth  match,  was  able  to  win  only 
the  third  game  by  the  same  score. 


One  factor  that  could  have 
swung  the  meet  the  other  way 
was  co-captain  Don  Rodger.  Out 
the  whole  previous  week  with  a 
sinus  infection,  Don  didn't  swim 
his  best  races.  If  he  had  taken 
first  in  both  the  50  and  the  100 
freestyle,  the  meet  would  have 
turned  out  differently. 

Also,  the  scheduling  of  the  meet, 
two  days  after  Winter  Carnival, 
worked  against  the  team.  Coach 
Muir,  however,  did  note  several 
races,  notably  Tony  Ryan's  strong 
performance  in  the  100  yard  but- 
terfly, in  which  frosh  found 
themselves  and  discovered  a  meas- 
ure of  their  true  potential. 


yard  individual  medley  while  Ephs 
Karl  Matthles  and  John  Wester 
took  second  and  third. 

Performing  superbly,  Mike  Fin- 
ney and  Dick  Holme  completed 
Williams'  only  sweep  in  the  fancy 
diving.  Connard  and  Pete  Weber 
grabbed  first  and  third  respective- 
ly in  the  200  yard  butterfly  -  one 
of  the  afternoon's  closest  races. 

In  copping  second  in  the  100 
yard  freestyle  Larry  forced  Bow- 
doin's Robinson  to  a  Bowdoin 
College  record  of  50.7.  Coots  earn- 
ed his  second  victory  for  the  Polar 
Bears  in  the  200  yard  backstroke 
and  established  a  pool  record  of 
2:14.2.  Showing  signs  of  their 
great  potential  sophs  Jerry  Bond 
and  Put  Brown  turned  in  their 
best  times  in  notching  second  and 
fourth. 

The  500  yard  freestyle  proved 
tragic  to  Williams  as  Bowdoin's 
Seaver,  one  of  N.E.'s  top  distance 
swimmers,  and  Bachman  topped 
Weber  and  Bob  Evans.  In  the  200 
yard  breaststroke,  junior  John 
Wester  gave  signs  of  returning  to 
championship  form  earning  first 
place  with  his  best  time  this  sea- 
son, 2:28.4.  Senior  Bill  Carter  was 
edged  lor  second  spot  by  Leach 
who  in  turn  forced  Wester  down 
to  the  wire. 

In  copping  the  400  yard 
freestyle  relay  in  3:25.5,  the  Eph 
team  of  Sandy  Hasten,  John  Mor- 
an, Dave  Larry,  and  Carroll  Con- 
nard displayed  the  form  and  spirit 
which  last  year  led  the  Eph  relay 
to  second  position  in  the  East. 


Squashmen  Shut  Out  MIT  Squad 
In  9-d  Sweep  As  Kilborn  Stars 


The  Williams  squash  team  re- 
turned from  its  Cambridge  excur- 
sion last  Saturday  in  a  jubilant 
mood,  after  a  9-0  whitewash  of 
the  hapless   MIT  contingent. 

The  Ephs'  superiority  was  evi- 
dent throughout  the  contest,  as 
six  of  the  nine  matches  required 
only  three  games.  In  total  games 
won,  Williams  tallied  27,  while 
MTT  took  only  four. 

Kilbom  Outstanding 

Particularly  outstanding  were 
the  efforts  of  Captain  George  Kil- 
born who,  in  his  best  match  of 
late,  allowed  Bugl  of  MIT  only 
twelve  points  during  the  three 
games.  Bruce  Birgbauer,  Mike  An- 
nlson  and  Chuck  Elliott  allowed 
only  14,  21,  and  21  points  respec- 
tively. Warren  King,  substituting 
for  Brooks  Goddard,  turned  in  a 
quite  respectable  performance,  al- 
so winning  in  three  games.

Pucksters  Score   Over  Jeffs  3-0; 
Roe^s  Three  Points  Lead  Purple 


A  rather  lethargic  Williams  hoc- 
key team  met  a  fired-up  Amherst 
squad  on  the  Lord  Jeff  rink  last 
Saturday,  but  the  natural  super- 
iority of  the  Eph  squad  prevailed 
over  Amherst's  spirit,  poor  rink 
conditions,  and  good  luck. 

The  pucksters  registered  a  3-0 
triumph  over  the  Jeffs,  a  rather 
disappointing  score  compared 
with  the  Ephs  U-l  triumph  ear- 
lier this  year.  It  must  be  noted 
that  around  ten  Purple  shots  hit 
the  goal  posts  and  that  ace 
defenseman  Mike  Heatli  was  ab- 
sent due  to  tlio  flu. 

The  first  period  was  scoreless, 
as  the  Ephs  played  rather  poorly 
and  as  the  Amherst  enthusiasm 
could  not  make  up  for  lack  of 
skating  ability.  Andy  Holt  opened 
up  the  scoring  at  4:31  in 
the  second  period  on  a  pass  from 
Tom  Roe.   Roe  scored  himself  in 


period  on  assists  from  Holt  and 
defensive  David  Lougee,  and  then 
picked  up  his  second  assist  of  the 
night  as  Gene  GoodwlUle  scored 
the  final  goal  at  4:06. 

The  fact  that  the  last  two  goals 
were  scored  while  WUUams  was  a 
man  down  indicates  both  that  the 


Ephs  played  a  little  harder  in  the 
third  period  and  that  the  Amherst 
goalie  Dave  Stringer  ran  out  of 
some  of  the  luck  which  contribut- 
ed to  his  43  saves.  Williams  goalie 
Bob  Rich  had  a  hard  time  keep- 
ing warm  as  he  was  called  upon 
to  make  only  28  saves.

Eph  Cagers  Revive  Defensive  Art; 
Humble  Amherst  Quintet,  46-31 


By  Dick  DuBow 

In  an  era  of  basketball  where 
offense  and  high  scoring  high- 
light the  game,  arch  rivals  Wil- 
liams and  Amherst  reverted  to 
tactics  of  a  decade  ago,  as  the 
Ephmen  registered  a  low-scoring 
46-31  victory  over  the  Lord  Jeffs. 
The  Purple's  second  win  In  "Lit- 
tle Three"  competition  streng- 
thened their  league  leading  posi- 
tion. 

Scoreless  Three  Minutes 

An  uncanny  14-12  halftlme 
score  was  no  credit  to  the  de- 
fensive play.  The  contest  was 
marked  by  a  slow  methodical  type 
game  with  both  teams  trying  to 
retain  control  of  the  ball.  At  one 
point  in  the  first  half  Amherst 
went  three  minutes  without  at- 
tempting a  single  shot  from  the 
floor. 

Pete  Obourn  started  the  scor- 
ing for  the  Ephs  on  a  long  one- 
hander  from  the  top  of  the  key. 
There  followed  a  frigid  three  min- 
ute period  in  which  neither  team 
was  able  to  find  the  range.  Fin- 
ally Amherst's  Tom  Weaver  put 
In  a  rebound  for  the  Lord  Jeff's 
first  points  of  the  game.  At  the 
ten  minute  mark  the  score  stood 
at  8-8. 

Despite  their  height  advantage 
Williams  could  not  control  the 
boards.  Without  the  vital  defen- 
sive rebounding  the  Ephs'  fast 
break  proved  ineffective  against 
Amherst's  zone.  Roger  Williams 
broke  a  12-12  deadlock  with  his 
first  basket  of  the  game  just  be- 
fore the  end  of  the  half. 

Williams  Rallies  In  Second  Half 

Indicative  of  the  type  of  action, 


Amherst  committed  only  two  fouls 
and  Williams  one  throughout  the 
first  half.  Neither  team  tallied 
from  tlip  charity  stripe  dur- 
ing that  time. 

The  second  half  saw  a  rovlv(!d 
Williams  team  take  the  court.  Af- 
ter Dave  Holmes  tied  the  score  at 
14-14,  the  Ephs  netted  11  slraiglu 
points  to  put  the  game  out  of 
Amherst's  reach, 

Roger  Williams  sparked  the  i-al- 
ly  with  a  long  jump  shot.  Dan 
Voorhees  converted  a  free  throw 
as  Rob  hit  again.  Amherst  threw 
up  a  desperation  pressing  zone  de- 
fense, but  they  were  unable  to 
hold  the  Williams  attack. 

Obourn  hooked  a  basket  off  the 
fast  break,  while  Steve  Weinstock 
al.so  connected.  Roger  Williams 
tallied  again  before  Bob  Wilson 
finally  broke  the  string  wllli  a 
free  throw  for  the  Jeffs. 

In  the  low-scoring  conte.st 
double  figure  men  were  a  rarity. 
Steve  Weinstock  paced  all  scorers 
with  16  points.  The  Williams  co- 
captain  also  turned  In  a  strong 
performance  under  the  boards.

frosh  Puckmen  Trounce  Amherst; 
8-2  Win  Features  Team  Effort 


The  Williams  Freshman  sextet 
gained  its  third  victory  of  the  sea- 
son Saturday  as  it  trounced  Am- 
herst 8-2.  Williams  played  its  best 
game  of  the  year  against  a  con- 
siderably weaker  Amherst  team. 
The  victory  also  proved  a  fine 
team  effort  as  six  different  men 
tallied  for  Williams. 

Eph  Defense  Superb 

Williams  controlled  the  puck 
dm-ing  the  first  period,  yet  was 
able  to  tally  only  once.  Amherst's 
Dlmond  picked  up  a  loose  puck  in 
Williams  territory  and  poked  It  In 
at  3:38  for  the  game's  opening 
score. 

Williams  retaliated  thirty  sec- 
onds later  as  Dave  Pfaelzer  con- 
nected on  a  pass  from  Billy  Roe. 
Neither  team  was  able  to  score  for 
the  remainder  of  the  period.  Due 
to  the  superb  play  of  the  four 
Eph  defensemen,  Ted  Noll,  John 
Linen,  Albl  Booth,  and  Steve  O'- 
Brien, goalie  Scott  Johnson  was 
forced  to  make  only  two  saves  In 
the  period. 

After  numerous  near  misses,  the 
Ephmen  finally  tallied  at  8-41  as 
defenseman  Albl  Booth  slapped 
one  in  from  the  blue  line  on  a 
pass  from  Bob  Bradley.  Less  than 
a  minute  later  Bradley  scored  on 
a  fast  breakaway.  He  was  assisted 
by  Roe  and  Pfaelzer. 

Ephlets  Score  Five 

Five  Eph  goals  opened  the  game 
up  In  the  third  period.  At  0-37 
defenseman  John  Linen  clicked 
from  the  blue  line  on  a  pass  from 
Dave  Pfaelzer.  Three  minutes  lat- 
er, at  4:27,  Mlchlejohn  scored  the 
second  and  final  Amherst  goal. 

The  last  seven  minutes  of  the 
game  saw  a  barrage  of  four  Wil- 
liams goals.  At  8:17  Bill  Roe 
soloed  for  his  first  tally  of  the 
day.  Eleven  seconds  later,  Roe 
took  a  pass  from  Dave  Pfaelzer 


and  scored  his  second  goal  of  the 
game.  Less  than  a  minute  later, 
at  9:22,  a  jubilant  Alex  Wallau 
tallied  unassisted. 

Roe  Turns  Hat- Trick 

Roe  scored  his  third  goal  of  the 
game  with  less  than  a  minute  left 
to  play.  His  score  at  14:15  was 
assisted  by  Bradley.  The  Williams 
team  played  an  excellent  offensive 
game,  but  a  large  part  of  the  vic- 
tory was  a  result  of  outstanding 
defense,  both  by  the  defensemen 
and  by  goalie  Johnson. 

Frosh  Outpoint  Jeffs 
In   57-52    Triumph 

The  freshman  cagers  boosted 
their  record  to  6-1  with  an  ex- 
citing 57-52  victory  at  Amherst 
Saturday. 

TraU  At  Half 

Although  the  frosh  went  into 
the  game  with  a  pronounced 
height  advantage,  they  trailed  the 
hot  Lord  Jeff  squad  by  a  point 
at  half  time. 

Amerllng  Sparks  ComeI>ack 

Williams  remained  behind  until 
the  final  three  minutes.  At  this 
point,  John  Amerllng,  who  scored 
14  points,  poured  in  three  quick 
jump-shots  to  put  the  Ephs  up 
by  two.  Clutch  foul-shooting  by 
Steve  Fox  and  Tom  Thornhill 
then  put  the  game  on  ice  for  Wil- 
liams. 

Sheehan  High  Scorer 

Kevin  Sheehan  was  outstanding 
for  the  frosh,  and  helped  offset 
Amherst's  Merson,  who  tallied  26 
points.  Playing  the  entire  second 
half  with  four  fouls  on  him,  Shee- 
han garnered  19  points  and  re- 
bounded strongly  to  lead  the 
freshmen  to  their  second  victory 
In  Uttle  Three  competition.

The  Candidacy  Of  Fillmore  Baker: 
Rebellion  Against  'Coercive  Interests' 

While  Williamstown  sleeps  out  the  winter  like  a  modern-day 
Sleepy  Hollow,  a  fierce  political  battle  rages  within.  The  fight  is 
over  the  town's  Town  Manager  form  of  government.  In  the  center  of 
the  conflict  is  Pllmoie  Baker,  who  circulated  a  petition  asking  that 
Town  Manager-Selectman  government  be  abolished.  The  petition  met 
the  required  10  per  cent  of  the  registered  voters  and  will  be  on  the 
ballot  next  Monday. 

Baker,  who  is  running  for  the  Board  of  Selectmen  for  the  fourth 
time  <he  has  lost  by  Increasingly  smaller  margins)  says  he  speaks 
for  the  man  who  "has  little  or  no  voice  in  deciding  which  issues  are 
put  into  the  public  arena.  Although  Baker  has  had  little  formal 
education,  he  has  always  taken  a  keen  interest  in  local  politics.  He 
feels  that  the  local  government  is  being  run  by  an  "establishment" 
which  excludes  the  average  citizen.  This  causes  apathy  on  the  part  of 
many  people;  this  apathy  is  the  "political  leukemia"  that  poisons 
the  political  system  of  a  small  town. 

Baker  feels  that  the  present  way  of  government,  especially  the 
town  meeting  is  "very  coercive",  because  many  people  are  afraid  to 
speak  up  (for  private  or  business  reasons),  "especially  on  budget 
matters."  He  favors  a  system  of  town  representatives,  somewhat 
like  the  alderman  system  in  cities,  where  a  person  is  elected  to  rep- 
resent a  certain  proportion  of  the  population. 

Another  part  of  Baker's  platform  is  his  opposition  to  the  pro- 
cedure of  the  Board  of  Selectmen  who  fill  a  dual  role  in  also  sitting 
in  on  the  town  Finance  Committee.  He  says  that,  the  Williams- 
town  Finance  Committee  is  the  only  one  in  New  England  that  op- 
erates in  this  manner.  There  are  many  other  people  who  share  this 
view.  William  Sabin,  local  attorney,  while  not  supporting  Baker's 
candidacy,  dropped  off  the  Finance  Committee  two  years  ago  because 
he  felt  the  presence  of  selectmen  violated  Sections  2  and  16  of  the 
state  code  on  finance  committees,  he  called  the  Finance  Committee 
a  "body  of  men  not  a  body  of  laws." 

Bakrr.  whose  mind  works  inductively,  commented  that  in  Wil- 
liamstown the  five  "selectmen  take  off  their  robes  as  administrators 
and  then  sit  as  advisors."  On  any  vote  they  have  a  five  vole  head 
start,  and  as  selectmen  they  have  already  approved  what  would  be 
proposed  to  them  as  members  of  the  Finance  Committee. 

When  asked  to  comment  on  Baker's  candidacy  and  the  furor 
over  Town  Manager  government,  Louis  Rudnick,  a  selectman,  winked 
good-humoredly  and  said  that  Baker  had  "hallucinations."  When  we 
remarked  that  Baker  certainly  brought  some  color  into  the  political 
scene,  Rudnick  commented  that  things  would  be  better  stable  and 
"dull".  p.   E.  Bloom 


First   Semester  Drop-Outs  Fewer; 
Level  Tumbles  From  Last  Year 

Williams  College  lost  only  three  students  first  semester 
for  academic  reasons  accordinji  to  figures  obtained  from  Dean 
Robert  R.  R.  Brooks.  This  total,  which  inchides  two  sojihomores 
and  one  freshman,  indicates  a  considerable  decrease  from  last 
year  when  tlie  two  semester  total  was  28.  Total  separations  for  all 
reasons  numbered  21  for  the  last  semester,  as  against  91  for  the 
whole  of  last  year. 


This  information  is  part  of  a 
ten  year  summary  of  separations 
and  accessions  recently  compiled 
by  the  Dean's  office.  It  shows  a 
very  consistant  rate  of  gains  and 
losses  for  the  years  from  1952 
through  1960-61.  The  1961-62 
school  year  .showed  a  great  in- 
crease in  losses  for  academic  reas- 
ons from  the  previous  average  to 
16  to  a  ten  year  high  of  28. 

Partial  Explanation 

Brooks  explained  that  some  of 
the  increase  for  last  year  and  de- 
crease for  this  can  be  explained 
in  terms  of  the  way  the  records 
are  kept.  Any  person  who 
drops  out  over  the  summer  is 
counted  In  the  total  for  the  prev- 
ious year.  Thus  many  who  might 
have  been  counted  this  year  were 
disposed  of  this  summer. 

Fredrick  C.  Copeland.  Director 
of  Admissions,  explained  that  no 
formal  study  of  dropouts  has  pre- 
viously been  made.  The  ad- 
missions office  receives  word  of 
each  dropout,  and  this  Is  record- 
ed on  a  record  that  Is  kept  for 
each  Individual  school  that  has 
sent  students  to  Williams.  The  or- 
iginal admissions  file  of  the  stu- 
dent is  checked  only  when  It 
seems  possible  that  the  student 
was  simply  unable  to  do  the  work. 

Copeland  contended  that  by  far 
the  great  number  of  those  drop- 
ping out  do  so  because  of  prob- 
lems of  adjustment  rather  than 
because  of  inability  to  do  the 
work.  This  Is  borne  out  by  the 
lict  that  of  the  21  dropouts  last 
semester,  18  were  for  non- 
academic  reasons,  and  that  out  of 
91  the  year  before,  only  23  were 
for  academic  reasons. 


Buchart  To  Head  College   Council 

In  what  may  have  been  the  shortest  and  dullest  election  meeting  in  tlie  history  of  the  (College 
Council,  Scott  Buchart  '64  was  elected  as  president  of  the  school's  society  of  student  responsibil- 
ity. Elected  by  acclamation  on  \Jonday  evening  after  no  other  nominees  were  proposed,  Buchart 

succeeds  Stu  Brown  '63. 

Bob  Leroy  '64  was  elected  vice- 
president,  also  by  acclamation,  in 
an  overwhelming  expression  of 
unaninimity  from  the  delegates. 

The  election  of  Buchart  auto- 
matically elevated  Bill  Rose  '64  to 
the  presidency  of  his  class,  the 
post  originally  filled  by  Buchart. 
College  regulations  stipulate  that 
the  same  man  may  not  .serve  as 
both  the  president  of  the  College 
Council  and  the  president  of  the 
senior  class. 

Bruce  MacLeod  '65  and  Bob 
Lisle  '65  were  elected  secretary 
and  treasurer,  respectively,  of  the 
Council. 

Rules  and  Nominations 

In  a  more  stimulating  election, 
in  that  there  was  more  than  one 
candidate.  Rose  was  elected  to 
head  the  influential  College  Coun- 
cil Rules  and  Nominating  Com- 
mittee. Dick  Ti-esch,  the  president 
of  the  Class  of  '65,  Bill  Bowden, 
the  president  of  the  Class  of  '66, 
and  Pete  Johansson  '64  were  also 
named  to  the  committee,  which 
selects  the  members  of  the  com- 
mittees supervised  by  the  College 
Council.

Clnett  Grad  Students 
To  Speak  In  Chapel 
On  Christian  Culture 

Graduate  students  from  the 
Cluett  Center  will  present  a  ser- 
ies of  noontime  daily  cliapel  talks 
next  week  on  the  topic  "Christian- 
ity: Its  Place  in  Other  Cultures." 
The  purpose  of  the  series  is  to 
give  students  a  better  understand- 
ing of  the  strengths  and  weak- 
nesses of  the  Christian  faith  as  it 
has  been  presented  to  and 
through  other  cultures. 

The  series  will  also  provide  a 
challenge  to  Christian  intoler- 
ance of  other  religions,  and  spec- 
ulate on  the  common  factors 
which  might  give  birth  to  a  un- 
iversal religion  or  at  least  univer- 
sal imderstanding  and  tolerance 
among  religions. 

Cluett  Center  students  who  will 
participate  in  the  series  of  talks 
are:  Mr.  W.  J.  Anukpe,  a  Bap- 
tist from  Nigeria;  Mr.  Syed 
Shahid  Husain.  a  Moslim  from 
Pakistan;  Mr.  Bhalchandra  Desh- 
mukh,  a  Hindu  from  India;  Mr. 
Bashir  Ibrahim  Ishag,  a  Moslim 
from  Sudan;  and  Mr.  Thomas 
Byuma  Byatlke.  a  Catholic  from 
Uganda. 

The  Cluett  fellows  have  been 
asked  to  consider  such  questions 
as: 

—What  contributions  has  Chris- 
tianity made  to  your  culture? 
— What    contributions    has    your 

culture  made  to  Christianity? 
— What  aspects  of  Christianity 
have  been  stressed  by  the  priests 
and  ministers  of  your  country? 
— ^Prom  your  personal  experience, 
do  you  feel  that  there  is  any 
validity  in,  or  hope  for,  a  im- 
iversal  religion. 


Art  Exhibit  Opens 

George  Rickey  On  Abstract  Art: 
*  Create  Order  In  Space  With  Time ' 

by  Miirrat/  Ross 

The  Monday  opening  of  Ge-orge  Rickey's  art  collection  was 
probably  the  highlight  of  a  rather  meagre  season  at  tlie  VVilliains 
Museum.  The  afternoon  ceremony  was  remarkable  in  that  sev- 
eral students  ajjpeared  and  seemed  to  l)e  geiniinely  interested  in 
tlie  exhibit.  It  was  memorable  in  that  Mr.  Rickey  spoke  on  "Kine- 
tic Sculpture,"  the  medium  which  has  enabled  him  to  Ijecome 
a  leading  member  of  America's  art  colony. 

Tracing  this  form  to  its  origins  in  the  dance,  .Mr.  Rickey 
maintained  that  its  essence  is  choreographic,  the  creation  of  or- 
der in  space  with  time.  Its  application  to  the  visual  arts  i.s  a  re- 
cent development,  established  only  in  our  centinv.  Tlie  Italian 
Futurists,  Duchamp  and  Boccioni,  were  ])crhaps  tlu'  first  to  in- 
troduce the  idea  of  motion  with  time,  and  the  Russian  Construc- 
tivists  were  the  first  to  reali/e  it.  The  sculptural  niovenieiit  really 
began  with  Tatlin's  model  of  a  building  designed  to  rotate  on 
three  levels. 

Gabo  mid  Peusner 

Gabo  and  Peusner  continued  to  reassert  the  value  of  the 
fourth  dimension,  but  beyond  some  isolated  instances,  such  as 
Man  Ray's  coat  hanger  mobile,  there  is  a  great  jump  in  time  to 
1932  and  Alexander  Calder.  Calder  is,  Ricky  noted,  die  great 
name  in  the  history  of  Kinetic  art.  He  is  the  first  artist  to  have 
gone  beyond  flirtation  with  the  medium,  and  his  dedication  to  the 
Kinetic  process  has  given  the  art  its  real  stature. 

Calder  was  very  much  alone  until  after  the  war,  but  since 
then  there  has  been  much  greater  activity  in  the  field.  ,\t  pr(!sent, 
Rickey  implied  three  new  hencls  in  the  movement.  Tlie  first 
is  an  increasing  tendency  to  involve  the  spectator  as  a  participant 
in  the  motion.  Here  kinetic  sculpture  becomes  almost  a  sport, 
an  aesdietic  Disneyland.  Secondly,  the  line  between  static  and 
kinetic  art  becomes  much  harder  to  draw  as  the  field  expands. 
Finally,  two  distinct  schools  seem  to  have  emerged,  working  at 
opposite  poles.  The  leader  of  one  hemisphere  is  Tingely,  a  neo- 
dadist  who  rejoices  in  machines  that  bellow,  slomj),  squirt  and 
ultimately  destroy  themselves.  At  the  other  extreme  is  De  Rivera, 
maker  of  curving  shapes  and  sophisticated  doodles,  which  move 
slowly  and  elegantly  before  the  spectator.  Both  styles,  however, 
are  only  partially  indicative  of  the  total  expression  available  to 
die  kinetic  artist. 

Rickey  himself  sees  the  field  as  potentially  rich  as  that  of 
painting.  He  described  several  principle  movements,  and  added 
that  almost  countless  variation  is 
possible  on  any  given  theme.  The 
problem  in  kinetic  sculpture  is 
largely  technical,  that  of  finding 
a  machine  which  will  express  the 
desired  movement  in  a  manner 
that  has  both  form  and  meaning. 
In  his  personal  constructions,  Ric- 
key has  followed  Calder  in  reject- 
ing the  mechanical  vehicle.  He  sees 
the  "planned  use  of  chance"  as 
the  only  method  of  avoiding  the 
repetitive  and  the  monotonous. 

Non-Mechanical  Expression 

The  five  examples  of  his  work 
now  on  display  show  that  he  has 
fulfilled  his  intentions.  They  fur- 
ther reveal  a  non-mechanical  ex- 
pression that  is  only  partly  de- 
rivative. Calder  develops  his 
mobiles  through  a  system  of  link- 
age that  has  provacative  cumu- 
lative movement,  but  which  Is  re- 
stricted to  partial  rotation  on  a 
horizontal  plane.  Rickey  sur- 
momits  Calder's  limitations  by  th^ 
use  of  the  pendulum,  and  it  is  this 
technical  difference  that  accounts 
for  much  of  his  individuality.  He 
further  differs  from  his  master 
In  the  pronounced  influence  of 
Mondrlan,  and  the  consequent  at- 
tempt to  make  things  as  "ma- 
chlnelike  as  possible."  Fortunate-

the  loss  of  a  human  quality.  Tlius 
"Summer"  captures  the  warm  slow 
atmosphere  of  its  title  by  a  re-

Lew  Harvey  Elected 
To  Head  New  Board 
For   Station    WMS 

The  new  board  of  directors  for 
the  college  radio  station  WMS- 
WCPM  has  been  elected.  The  new 
station  manager  is  Lew  Harvey 
'64.  while  Gordy  Sulcer  '64  will 
take  over  as  executive  program 
director.  The  other  officers  in- 
clude Richard  Garland  '64,  chief 
engineer;  Joseph  Small  '65,  sec- 
retary-treasurer; Thomas  John- 
son '65,  business  manager;  Rich- 
ard Hennessey  '65,  publicity  direc- 
tor; Edward  Cabaud  '66,  techni- 
cal director;  Lee  Modesitt  '65, 
compet  director;  Philip  Walters 
'64,  sports  director;  Grigs  Mark- 
ham  '66  and  Charles  Keagle  '66, 
music  directors;  E.  Price  Comly 
'65,  personnel  director;  and  Philip 
Taylor  '66,  news  director. 

This  change  in  management 
promises  to  be  more  than  just  a 
switch  in  names.  The  station  is, 
in  Gordy  Sulcer's  words,  "going 
to  make  a  greater  effort  to  get 
the  type  of  music  and  programs 
which  the  students  want."  As  an 
immediate  start  to  this  policy, 
there  will  be  more  stereo  shows, 
and  the  station's  record  collec- 
tion will  be  expanded  to  include  a 
range  of  modern  jazz,  big  band 
and  folk  music,  rock  n'  roll,  and 
show  tunes. 

Sulcer  envisions  the  station  as 
being  "more  of  an  outlet  for  col- 
lege activities."  More  coverage  will 
be  given  to  college  sports,  start- 
ing tonight  with  the  broadcast- 
ing of  the  hockey  game.  Sulcer 
hopes  to  be  able  to  broadcast  col- 
lege baseball  games,  and  is  in- 
stituting a  new  "sports  round-up" 
show  every  Sunday  night.  Also 
more  live  shows  featuring  bands, 
singing  groups,  etc.  are  in  the  of- 
fing. 

The  station  also  plans  to  get  a 
teletype,  enabling  them  to  give 
hourly  news  reports,  and  is  In 
hopes  to  extend  their  broadcasting 
time  to  a  twelve-hour  day.

Viewpoint 

Lectures  Vindicate  Moral  Principle 

by  Douglass  Rose 

The  wisdom  of  our  forefathers  has  been  vindicated.  An  old 
truth  has  been  rediscovered  at  Williams.  Various  sniveling  mor- 
alists have  been  moaning  and  groaning  throughout  the  year  about 
the  lack  of  attendance  at  lectures,  symposiums,  panels,  and  the 
hke.  They  are  wrong. 

These  fooLs  have  forgotten  the  prime  moral  principle  of 
capitalism:  every  man  for  himself.  If  all  men  seek  their  self- 
interest,  the  'invisible  hand'  will  guide  us  toward  the  good.  Tlie 
profundity  of  this  view  is  well  evidenced  in  the  case  of  the  lec- 
tures and  panels.  The  people  who  don't  give  a  damn  about  the 
lectures,  the  blithering  idiots,  leave  the  interested  folks  alone. 
Thus,  there  are  fewer  stupid  questions  asked  visiting  lecturers, 
less  trouble  for  the  autochthonous  here  in  establishing  personal 
contacts  with  these  interesting  people,  and  more  benefit  for  the 
people  who  do  attend  these  functions. 

The  above  division  of  the  college  into  two  camps  is  not  ac- 
curate. Actually,  there  is  a  third  group;  the  motivated.  These 
'study  bugs'  are  motivated  towards  getting  gi'ades  or  'an  educa- 
tion'. Tliis  education  becomes  for  them  an  end,  a  stoppage,  an 
objective  fact,  and  an  answer.  Getting  educated,  on  the  other 
hand,  is  a  means,  a  process,  and  a  question. 

"The  problem  or  the  blithering  idiots  and  the  motivated  peo- 
ple is  that  they  don't  know  theii'  own  self-interest.  Perhaps  if  they 
had  followed  Harry  C.  McPherson  around  during  Sunday  and 
Monday,  Feb.  10  and  11,  they  might  have  caught  a  glimpse  of 
the  problems  that  will  compose  their  lives. 

McPherson  raised  questions,  questions  of  ultimate  values, 
of  conflict,  of  compromise,  of  change,  and,  most  of  all,  of  decision. 
McPherson 's  tentative,  examined  answer  to  his  own  questions  was 
that  tliere  must  be  no  answer,  for  there  is  no  'right'  answer.  For 
McPherson 's  questions,  right  and  wrong  are  not  two  mutually  ex- 
clusive tilings.  Thus,  unless  the  question  is  evaded,  there  can  be 
no  answer. 

Any  definitive  answer  to  the  questions  of  ethics  and  politics 
is  an  escape  from  pragmatism,  an  escape  into  ideology  or  absolute 
commitment  to  a  single  interest.  This  pragmatism  of  McPherson's 
is  not  the  lack  of  values  nor  is  it  a  lack  of  concern.  This  prag- 
matism is  the  continuous  re-evaluation  of  all  values. 

Finding  it  insufficient  to  be  well-rounded,  informed,  and  in- 
telligent, McPherson  sees  these  merely  as  preconditions  for  de- 
cision-making. A  man  is  judged  by  his  decisions,  and  if  he  is 
judged  as  a  Communist'  or  a  'conservative',  he  loses  his  individu- 
ality to  some  abstraction.  A  man  posits  himself,  discovers  himself, 
in  his  decisions.  If  he  judges  merely  upon  the  basis  of  one  value, 
then  he  is  that  value.  An  individual  is  a  cross-section  of  many 
values,  a  combination  of  a  multitude  of  factors.  To  decide  upon 
the  weighing  of  these  against  each  other  is  to  be  an  individual; 
to  do  otherwise  is  to  lose  that  individuality. 

Two  days  spent  with  McPherson  were  a  process  of  education, 
and  many  more  such  questioners  are  needed  here.

Tuesday,  February  12,  the  Oallmlr  Quartet  per- 
formed Quartet  in  B-flat  major.  Op.  71.  No.  1, 
Haydn;  Lyric  Suite,  Berg;  Quartet  in  C  minor. 
Op.  51,  No.  1,  Brahms. 

Because  of  hazardous  weather  conditions,  *he 
concert  by  the  Qalimlr  Quartet  was  attended  by  a 
sparse  audience  which  filled  less  than  one-third 
of  Chapin  Hall.  Those  wlio  came,  however,  heard  a 
finely  polished  performance  of  three  highly  con- 
trasting worlcs  from  as  many  historical  periods. 

The  Haydn  Quartet  failed  to  impress  me  as  a 
very  exciting  or  moving  composition.  Tlie  fir.st  two 
movements  were  least  successful,  llie  Allegro  being 
tiresomely  uninteresting  in  either  its  themes  or 
their  development,  and  the  Adagio  seeming  over- 
iong  and  unimaginative.  The  third  movement,  Men- 
uetto:  Allegretto,  was  somewhat  better,  having  a 
flowing  melody  played  very  low  on  the  first  violin 
as  its  main  theme.  And  tlie  final  Vivace,  brief  and 
exciting,  was  yet  the  best  movement.  In  general, 
however,  'the  Haydn  did  not  receive  as  precise  or 
inspired  a  performance  as  the  other  worlcs  on  the 
program. 

Berg's  Lyric  Suite  was  undoubtedly  the  high 
point  of  the  evening.  One  seldom  has  a  chance  to 
hear  this  very  beautiful  and  Important  work,  es- 
pecially in  as  flawless  and  understanding  a  per- 
formance as  the  Galimir  Quartet  rendered.  Its  six 
movements  are  each  designated  with  both  a  tempo 
marlcing   and  an   indication   of   the   specific  emo- 


tional state  which  Berg  Intends  to  express.  Most 
exciting  of  the  six  is  the  third  movement,  marked 
Allegro  misterioso,  in  which  Berg  treats  the  in- 
struments in  terms  of  sonorous  possibilities,  such 
as  these  unusual  effects  produced  by  playing  near 
the  bridge  of  the  instrument,  or  with  the  back  of 
the  bow.  The  final  movement.  Largo  desolate,  seems 
to  sum  up  the  overall  feeling  of  Intense  melan- 
choly which  seems  to  pervade  the  entire  work, 
despite  the  various  moods  which  attempt  to  es- 
cape from  it.  The  Galimir  Quartet's  wonderfully 
.sensitive  performance  was  received  with  much  en- 
thusiasm by  the  audience,  many  of  whom  had 
come  mainly  to  hear  this  work,  as  was  demon- 
strated by  their  smaller  numbers  after  the  Inter- 
mission which  followed  It. 

The  concert  concluded  with  the  first  of 
Brahm's  three  string  quartets.  The  opening  Al- 
legro seemed  weak  in  terms  of  Its  structural  un- 
ity, and  it  lacked  really  strong  thematic  material. 
The  Romanze:  Poco  adagio,  was  a  beautiful  move- 
ment, full  of  the  intense  passionate  melody  found 
in  Brahms'  best  writing.  The  clever  AUegreto  made 
considerable  use  of  pizzicattl  effects,  and  was  fol- 
lowed by  a  Finale  which  began  with  a  fortissimo 
introduction  of  a  strongly  Impassioned  nature, 
whose  mood  was  more  thoroughly  explored  by  the 
rest  of  the  movement,  an  exciting  conclusion  to 
this  work  which  was  played  with  great  success  by 
the    Galimir  Quartet.

Eph  Matmen  Trounced  By  Indians; 
Winfield  Gains  Draw  In  31-2  Rout 


The  predicted  day  of  leckoning 
came  last  Saturday  tor  the  Eph 
grapplers  as  they  were  crushed  31- 
2  by  nationally-ranked  Springfield 
College,  perennial  dominators  of 
New  ESigland  wrestling.  Only  jun- 
ior John  Winfield  could  salvage 
a  5-5  tie  at  his  137-pound  slot. 

Williams  was  severely  hamper- 
ed by  the  loss  of  two  of  its  soph- 
omore standouts,  Pete  Friedman 
and  Art  Wheelock,  to  a  knee  in- 
jury and  the  local  "flu"  epidemic 
respectively.  But  even  with  them 
in  the  line-up  the  Maroon  on- 
slaught could  not  have  been  stem- 
med enough  to  reverse  the  out- 
come. Small  consolation  can  be 
taken  from  the  similar  31-5  drub- 
bing the  Maroons  gave  Wesleyan. 

Captain  Jim  Beiber's  unbeaten 
string  was  snapped  at  four  match- 
es when  New  England  champion 
Pox  edged  out  a  3-1  win.  The 
match  was  quite  even,  with  no 
points  scored  by  either  man  until 
the  final  period.  In  the  123  bout, 
John  Kifner  was  shown  the  lights 
early  In  the  second  period  by  Bal- 
on,  runner-up  to  Ephman  J  i  m 
Moodey  In  the  New  Englands. 

Senior  Bill  Robinson,  returning 
at  semesterbreak  from  a  year's 
absence,  filled  in  for  Friedman  at 
147  and  was  pinned  in  5:38  by 
157  NE  champ  Sam  McClendon. 
Soph  Tim  Watterson  did  the 
same  for  Wheelock,  and  suffered 
a  similar  fate  at  the  hands  of 
frosh  NE  champ  Cerra. 

In  one  of  the  day's  most  ex- 
citing toouts,  Geof  Howard  drop- 
ped a  4-1  decision  at  167  to  Win- 
ter, almost  getting  a  crucial  take- 


Millett,  McLean  Star 
In  Loss  To  Maroon 

A  pin  by  147-pounder  Gary  Mil- 
let and  a  9-1  victory  by  heavy- 
weight Marty  McLean  were  the 
only  bright  spots  as  the  frosh 
matmen  bowed  to  Springfield  26- 
8  on  the  home  mats  last  Satur- 
day. 

In  the  lighter  weights  Gil  Con- 
rad and  Jay  Goldsmith  dropped 
7-0  and  5-2  decisions  to  the  Ma- 
roons, while  Chip  Malcolm  was 
pinned  in  4:41  at  the  137-pound 
slot.  Millet's  pin  came  in  the  last 
period,  after  he  had  rolled  up  an 
overwhelming  10-0  advantage  over 
his  opponent  in  the  two  previous 
stanzas. 

1G7  Forfeited 

Gil  Watson  dropped  the  157 
bout  by  a  5-0  score,  and  the  167 
bout  was  forfeited  to  Springfield 
as  regulars  Dave  KoUender  and 
Tom  Basnight  were  sidelined  be- 
cause of  the  "flu"  epidemic.  Ned 
Davis  was  pinned  early  in  the 
first  period  by  Cerra,  brother  of 
last  year's  NE  frosh  champ,  now 
wrestling  varsity. 

Along  with  their  elders,  the 
frosh  will  face  their  BPI  counter- 
parts away  tomorrow,  giving  them 
a  good  shot  at  evening  their  sea- 
son record  at  2-2.

Kinetic  Sculpture  *  An  Aesthetic  Of  Our  Time' 


Continued  from  Page    I,  Col.  4 

indicate  that  the  ureal  virtue  of 
kinetic  sculpture  is  a  capacity  to 
free  rliythm  from  the  static  boun- 
daries of  precisely  defined  space. 
It  is  to  Rickey's  great  credit  that 
he  has  been  something  of  a  suc- 
cess in  this  attempt. 

Junkpile  Art 

The  collection  which  surrounds 
these  pieces  proves  that  Rickey's 
curiosity  is  as  well  developed  as 
artistic  sensibility.  The  art,  all  of 
high  quality,  ranges  from  ab- 
stract oils  to  Aztec   textiles.  Par- 


licuiarly  nolewortliy  are  lire  prim- 
itive relics  from  Africa  and  the 
Northwest  Coast  Indians  of  A- 
merica.  Despite  the  tremendous 
variety,  Rickey  the  collector  re- 
flects Rickey  the  artist.  In  the  ob- 
jects garnered  from  junkpiles, 
farms  and  ancient  cultures,  one 
can  see  the  sculptor's  apprecia- 
tion of  craftsmenship  and  the  na- 
tural expressiveness  of  materials. 
On  a  more  personal  level,  the 
paintings  reveal  the  .submergence 
of  color  to  shape  and  line,  some- 
thing that  occurs  in  his  own  work. 
The   geometrical   precision  of   liis 


mobiles  connects  them  with  the 
Albers  and  Feininger  watercolors 
in  the  exhibit.  There  is  variety 
here,  but  it  is  both  unified  and 
discriminating. 

Excellent  as  his  collection  is,  it 
is  Rickey  the  artist  that  engages 
the  greatest  attention.  His  mobiles 
somehow  survive  the  lack  of  an 
adequate  background,  and  move 
gently  through  a  space  that  sud- 
denly becomes  alive.  They  offer 
splendid  support  for  his  hope  that 
kinetic  sculpture  is  "substantial 
and  part  of  the  aesthetic  of  our 
time."

Connard  Paces  Swimmers 

As  Ephs  Topple  Maroons 


By  Gary  E.  Martinelli 

The  varsity  swimming  team  reg- 
istered its  most  important  victory 
to  date  with  a  55-40  triumph  over 
Springfield  College  Wednesday  at 
the  McCurdy  Natatorium.  Led  by 
double-winner  and  co-captain 
Carroll  Connard,  Williams  left  no 
doubt  about  their  aims  and  abil- 
ity to  defend  their  New  England 
crown  in  toppling  the  highly 
touted  Maroons. 

Carroll  Connard  began  his 
string  of  wins  in  the  200  yard 
freestyle  in  which  his  winning 
time  was  1:56.4. 

Swimming  in  a  twenty  yard  pool 
for  the  first  time  this  year, 
(standard  college  pools  are  25 
yards  long),  Williams  found  it 
difficult  to  guage  when  to  turn. 
In  the  60  yard  freestyle,  senior 
Dave     Larry     powered     his     way

through  the  water  only  to 
trail  coming  out  of  the  turns.  A 
brilliant  effort  on  the  last  20  yard 
lap,  however,  earned  him  a  first 
over  Springfield's  Winn  in  28.3. 
Co-captain  John  Moran  copped 
third  in  this  event. 

Divers  Dick  Holme  and  Mike 
Finney  continued  to  sweep  their 
event  with  a  different  order  this 
time.  Pinney  who  has  reigned  in 
recent  meets  fini.shed  second  to 
the  hard-working  Holme  who 
notched  66.33  points. 

In  the  200  yard  butterfly,  Con- 
nard, who  owns  the  N.E.  record 
for  tlie  25  yard  official  course, 
encountered  Bill  Skoog  who  ha;; 
done  better  times  over  the  20  yard 
route,  perhaps  due  to  the  advan- 
tage of  two  extra  turns  and  push- 
off.s.  Instead  of  going  all  out  in 
this  race,  strategy  demanded  that 
Connard  save  himself  for  a  more 
certain  victory  in  the  500  yard 
freestyle.  Skoog  won  the  event 
with  the  excellent  time  of  2:11.0 
(better  than  Connard's  record), 
while  Connard  coasted  home  for 
an  easy  third  behind  teammate 
Pete  Weber.

exciting  races,  junior  John  Wester 
was  touched  out  by  the  Maroon's 
Reed  in  the  160  yard  medley.  Los- 
ing ground  again  because  of  turns 
Wester  was  topped  by  less  than 
a  foot.  The  Maroon's  Cal  Wimi's 
familiarity  with  his  home  pool  was 
rewarded  in  the  100  yard  freestyle 
in  which  his  time  of  51.1  was 
enough  to  top  Kasten  and  Larry. 

N.E.  backstroke  champ  Bill 
Steam  topped  Jerry  Bond  in  2:12.1 
but  the  Eph  soph  did,  neverthe- 
less, do  his  best  time.  In  the  500

Particularly  encouraging  to  the

Wester  in  the  200  yard  breast-

Ephmen  Drop  Siena  With  Defense; 
Weinstock,  Coolidge  lead  45-37  Jfin 


By  Dennis  Holland 

Williams'  talented  Ephmen  ran 
their  basketball  record  to  10-5 
Tuesday  evening  at  Lasell  Gym- 
nasium by  whipping  Siena  45-37. 
The  game  was  a  repetition  of  the 
Amherst  contest,  with  Siena  stal- 
ling throughout  to  try  and  con- 
tain the  Ephmen's  running  game. 

However,  with  Steve  Weinstock 
and  Dave  Coolidge  doing  some  im- 
portant scoring,  and  Weinstock 
also  collecting  many  key  rebounds, 
Williams  opened  up  a  ten  point 
margin  and  held  it  throughout 
the  second  half  to  win  with  a 
minimum  of  effort. 

Slow   First   Half 

Williams  opened  up  the  game 
with  a  good  zone  defense,  which 
Siena  was  unable  to  crack.  They 
passed  the  ball  around  the  out- 
side in  a  vain  attempt  to  work 
it  inside  for  good  shots,  but  in- 
stead were  forced  to  shoot  from 
twenty  feet  or  more.  However,  due 
to  the  cold  hands  of  the  Eph- 
men, their  stalling  game  paid  off 
at  the  outset,  with  Williams  hold- 
ing only  a  9-6  advantage  at  the 
ten  minute  mark. 

They  soon  opened  the  bulge  to 
15-6,  and  ran  out  the  very  slow 
first  half  with  the  same  advantage 
23-14.  Dan  Voorhees  scored  all  of 
his     eight     points     in     the    first 


canto  to  lead  the  Williams  scor- 
ers, while  Weinstock  added  six. 
CooUdfce  Rallies  Ephs 

Spencer  came  off  the  Siena 
bench  to  start  the  second  half 
and  hit  several  long  jumpers  to 
cut  into  the  Eph  margin,  but 
when  Roger  Williams  drew  his 
third  foul  early  in  the  half,  he 
was  replaced  by  Coolidge,  who 
hit  four  shots  of  his  own  to  keep 
the  eight-to-twelve  point  edge. 
With  three  minutes  remaining,  the 
Ephmen  went  into  a  very  effec- 
tive freeze  of  their  own,  and  forced 
Siena  into  fouls  to  get  the  ball. 
The  final  eight  point  difference 
was  about  as  close  as  Siena  man- 
aged to  come  during  the  entire 
second  half. 

Weinstock  led  all  scorer.s  with 
11.  He  was  the  only  Eph  in  dou- 
ble figures,  although  Coolidtje 
with  9,  Voorhees  with  8,  Williams 
with  7,  and  Obourn  with  C  all 
contributed  greatly  to  the  bal- 
anced scoring.

Frosh  Cagers  Hold  Off  Late  Siena  Rally; 
Secure   Seventh   Victory  By  58-57    Score 


The  freshmen  cagers  squeezed 
by  the  Siena  frosh  58-57  Tuesday 
for  their  seventh  victory  of  the 
season  in  eight  encounters.  Ex- 
perimenting with  a  new  "Drake

Coombs'  Ephlets  led  by  only  six 
points  at  half  time  despite  a  de-

In  the  second  half,  sparked  by 
the  alert  ball  handling  of  guard 
Jim  Kramer,  Williams  came  alive 
and  boosted  their  lead  to  sixteen 
points.  With  about  seven  minutes 
left  in  the  game  Coombs  put  in 
an  entire  new  team  who  held  their

own  against  the  visitors  while  the 
first  string  took  a  breather.  When 
the  starting  five  returned  \o  the 
floor  they  were  a  different  team. 
While  Williams  was  throwing 
passes  into  the  crowd  Siena  could 
do  no  wrong  and  with  3:10  left 
in  the  final  period  the  Purple 
lead  was  cut  to  one  point. 

Baskets  by  Dave  Cook  and  John 
Amerling  put  the  score  at  58-53 
with  about  two  minutes  left.  Siena 
capitalized  on  bad  pas.se.s  and 
missed  foul  shots  to  put  the  score 
at  58-57  in  favor  of  Williams  with 
25  seconds  to  go. 

The  visitors  held  the  ball  to 
position  for  the  final  shot  but, 
with  five  seconds  left,  Kramer 
^tole  the  ball  and  dribbled  awav 
the  remaining  time.  Amerling  and 
Kevin  Sheehan  once  more  led  the 
scoring  for  the  frosh  with  17  and 
16  points  respectively  while  Shee- 
han cleared  16  rebounds  to  main- 
tain his  team  lead  in  that  depart- 
ment. 


Judo  Cluh  LoseSj 
Dartmouth  Victor 

The  injury-ridden  and  largely 
inexperienced  Williams  Judo  Club 
went  down  before  a  tough  Dart- 
mouth squad  4-2  last  weekend  at 
the  Second  Annual  Williams- 
Dartmouth  Judo  Meet,  but  the 
angry  Ephmen  bounded  off  the 
mat  and  reasserted  its  prowess  by 
capturing  first  and  second  places 
in  the  individual  tournament  that 
followed. 

Eager  to  avenge  its  loss  of  105- 
50  last  year  on  its  own  Carnival 
Weekend,  Dartmouth's  two  black, 
one  brown,  and  three  white  belts 
proved  too  powerful  for  the  Wil- 
liams team  of  one  brown,  one 
green,  and  four  white  belts. 

Dartmouth  commanded  a  clear 
lead  as  Ephmen  Knut  Nordness 
and  Chuck  Dougherty  lost  close 
matches  to  Jeff  Marks  and  Jim 
Markewitz  respectively.  However, 
their  fellow  freshman  Terry  Ir- 
win, appearing  in  his  first  match, 
overthrew  Jim  Wilhelm  in  a  tense 
overtime  session  and  white  belt 
Ken  Ryder  evened  the  score  by 
pinning  the  brown-belted  pres- 
ident of  the  Dartmouth  Club,  Bill 
Adler. 

Then  Dartmouth's  black  belts 
moved  into  action  as  Corky 
Terada  threw  Williams'  Jody  Dob- 
son.  The  meet  was  decided  in  the 
exciting  final  match  when  Sego 
Hayashi  finally  overcame  Dwlght 
Bunce,  president  of  the  Williams 
Club. 

Bunce  Takes  First 

In  the  individual  competition 
Williams  got  its  revenge  with 
Bunce  defeating  six  opponents  to 
seize  first  place.  The  second  tro- 
phy went  to  Terry  Irwin.

'Unofficiar  UCBIWC  Endorsement  Spit^ey  Appointed  Acting  Chaplain 


Elected  Seven  New  Class  Officers 


"Keep  the  best  interests  of  Wil 
liams  College  at  heart  when  you 
cast  your  votes."  Thus  were  sel- 
ected groups  of  junior  and  soph- 
omore voters  advised  by  a  mime- 
ographed sheet  circulated  prior  to 
the  recent  class  elections. 

The  sheet  endorsed  eight  can- 
didates for  class  office  as  "out- 
standing and  qualified."  Seven  of 
the  eight  emerged  victorious,  and 
the  eighth  was  elected  as  a  Col- 
lege Council  alternate.  Pour  were 
subsequently  chosen  to  head  the 
CO,  and  three  are  on  the  im- 
portant four-man  Rules,  Nomin- 
ations and  Elections  Committee. 

While  no  qualifications  were 
listed,  reference  to  the  "best  in- 
terests of  Williams  College"  im- 
mediately called  to  mind  the  Un- 
dergraduate Committee  for  the 
Best  Interests  of  Williams  Col- 
lege, which  has  led  student  op- 
po.sition  to  the  College's  current 
reorientation  of  the  social  sys- 
tem away  from  the  fraternities. 

UCBIWC  Denial 

A  member  of  the  UCBIWC  de- 
nied that  the  endorsement  was  an 
official  act  of  the  group,  but  sta- 
ted that  a  number  of  its  mem- 
bers had  decided  to  push  the  can- 
didacy of  avowed  supporters  of 
the  fraternity  system. 

In  the  junior  class.  Scott  Buch- 
art,  Bill  Rose,  Bob  Leroy,  and 
Pete  Johannsen  were  recommend- 
ed. They  finished  one-two-three- 
four  in  the  balloting.  Among  the 
.sophomore  candidates,  Dick 
Ti-esch,    Bob    Lisle,    Bruce    Mac- 


Leod, and  Alex  Pollock  were  en- 
dorsed. This  quartet  ran  first-sec- 
ond-fourth-fifth in  the  final 
count. 

The  eight  candidates  represent 
five  fraternities  -  Alpha  Delta 
Phi.  Beta  Theta  Pi,  Kappa  Al- 
pha, Phi  Gamma  Delta,  and  Psi 
Upsilon.  Coupled  with  the  en- 
dorsement in  many  cases  was  a 
strong  effort  to  "get  out  the  vote." 
In  the.se  five  houses,  for  example. 
85  per  cent  of  the  juniors  and  92 
per  cent  of  the  sophomores  voted. 
College  wide,  the  turnout  f  o  r 
these  two  classes  was  67  and  80 
per  cent,  respectively. 

Identical  Ballots 

In  terms  of  effectiveness,  the 
mimeograph  achieved  significant 
success,  the  measure  of  which  goes 
beyond  the  .simple  fact  of  elec- 
tion to  office. 

In  the  Cla.ss  of  1965,  30  voters 
selected  all  four  candidates  listed 
by  the  mimeograph.  The  three 
winners  wore  listed  together  on 
22  additional  ballots. 

These  results  assume  particular 
meaning  in  view  of  two  facts.  One 
is  the  limited  circulation  of  the 
campaign  mimeo.  The  other  is 
that  such  widespread  repetition  of 
ballot  choices  has  not  previously 
occurred  across  fraternity  lines. 
In  the  past,  identical  ballots  have 
appeared  in  quantity  only  when 
the  candidates  named  were  in  the 
same  house. 

A  detailed  analysis  of  the  voting 
in  the  Cla.ss  of  1964  has  not  yet 
become  available.

Fraternities  Add  Fitteen  Members; 
Converts  Give  Divergent  Reasons 

hi)  Ken  Gaines 

Riishinjf  for  this  school  year  ended  last  Saturday.  Feb.  16  and 
according  to  Roger  Warren  '63,  Riishinu;  Chairman,  it  resulted 
in  a  significant  increase  in  Fraternity  membership  with  three 
sojihoinores  accepting  full  membership  bids  and  twelve  receiving 
social  memberships. 

When  questioned  by  The  Record,  the  fifteen  newest  additions 
to  fraternity  row  came  up  with  widely  divergent  reasons  for  their 
recent  affiliation.  One  nishee  was  heard  to  remark  that  he  was 
"only  too  glad  to  get  away  from  the  crowded,  uncongenial  atmos-

The  Reverend  Robert  A.  Spivcy,  A.ssistant  Professor  of  Re- 
ligion, will  be  Acting  Cha])lain  for  the  College  ]iext  year,  while 
the  Reverend  John  1).  Fusdeii  is  on  a  two-semester  Sabbatical 
Leave,  it  was  announced  last  week.  Dr.  Eusden,  whose  plans  arc 
'far  from  definite,"  hopes  to  spend  the  1963-64  academic  year 
at  Kyoto  University  in  Japan,  studying  Zen  Buddhism. 

Dr.  Spivey  envisions  the  role  of  Chaplain  at  a  liberal  arts 
college  as  one  presenting  broad  o|)portunities  for  stimulating 
intellectual  development  among  the  students.  Ratiier  than  being 
a  mere  "representative  of  the  institution  of  religion"  on  campus, 
he  feels  that  the  Chai)laiii  should  attempt  to  stinnilate  "de|)lh 
thinking,  probing,  and  cpiestioning."  In  fostering  this  spirit  of 
in(|uiry  among  students,  he  has  a  singular  advantage  as  (Chaplain- 
he  is  "not  restricted  to  any  one  department;  he  can  make  use  of 
the  entire  faculty." 

Dr.  Spivey's  plans  for  the  coming  academic  year  include  the 
continuation  and  expansion  of  sc^veral  programs  which  have  been 
succes.sfully  introduced  by  Dr.  Eusden.  The  |5rospecti\e  acting 
Chaplain  hopes  to  expand  the  role  of  drama  and  the  arts  in  the 
Chapel  services,  and  to  increase  the  part  which  interested  laymen 
might  play.  Pointing  to  this  year's  productions  of  The  Book  of  Job 

and  of  Noye's  Fludde,  and  to  the 
interest  generated  by  Harry  C. 
McPherson,  Spivey  intends  to  di- 
rect a  Chapel  which  will  stimu- 
late student  interest  on  broad  In- 
tellectual, as  well  as  pui'ely  re- 
ligious levels.  Possible  drama 
presentation  groups  for  next  year 
could  be  the  Union  Theological 
Seminary  Drama  Group,  as  well 
as  the  A.M.T.  Also  effective  to- 
ward this  end,  he  feels,  would  be 
the  scheduling  of  dialogue  ser- 
mons. 

Assisting  the  Religion  Depart- 
ment next  year,  moreover,  will  be 
a  Danforth  Intern  -  a  seminary 
student  who,  after  two  years  of 
seminary  study,  teaches  on  a  col- 
lege campus  -  who  is  "active  in 
the  realm  of  the  creative  arts." 


room,"  while  another  said  that  he 
was  "not  one  bit  sorry"  for  his 
first  semester's  nonaffiliacy  but 
nevertheless,  still  wanted  "to  have 
a  go  at  fraternity  life  to  see  how 
the  'other  half  lives". 

Two   Rushees 

The  formal  rushing  procedure 
itself  went  quite  .smoothly,  since 
only  two  people  were  involved. 
Then  the  three  houses  which  did 
not  fill  their  quotas  extended  bids 
to  those  sophomores  who  took 
part  in  rushing  first  semester  but 
did  not  enter  a  house. 

At  this  point  a  list  was  circu- 
lated to  the  houses  of  those  who 
had  not  been  extended  bids  by  one 
of  the  quota-deficient  houses  and 
were  thus  eligible  for  full  mem- 
bership bids.  Another  list  was  sub- 
sequently issued  revealing  those 
sophomores  who  had  rejected  a 
bid  from  one  of  the  three  houses 
and  wei'e  thus  only  eligible,  under 
the  present  Rushing  Agreement, 
for  a  social  membership. 

Almost  Brothers 

A  social  membership  is  a  rather 
nebulous  affair  with  the  social 
member  enjoying  all  the  rights  of 
the  brothers  except  attending  cer- 
tain house  meetings,  voting,  and 
living  in  the  house.

AMT  Presenting 
Imported  Troupe 

On  Friday,  March  15,  the  Adams 
Memorial  Theatre  and  the  De- 
partment of  Romanic  Languages 
will  sponsor  a  presentation  of  two 
French  plays,  performed  by  Le 
Treteau  de  Paris,  a  French  dra- 
matic troupe  which  has  appeared 
annually  in  Williamstown  for  sev- 
eral seasons.  This  year  Le  Treteau 
will  offer  ApoIIon  de  Bellae,  a  com- 
edy in  one  act  by  Jean  Giraudoux, 
and  Orpliee,  Jean  Cocteau's  cele- 
brated one-act  tragedy  dealing 
with  the  poet,  his  relation  with  the 
creative  process  and  with  death. 

There  will  be  two  performances: 
at  3:00  P.M.,  and  at  8:30  P.M. 
Tickets  cost  $2.75,  and  are 
currently  on  sale  at  the  AMT.  Due 
to  large  block  orders  from  out- 
side the  college,  students  are  urg- 
ed to  reserve  their  seats  as  soon 
as  possible. 


Dream  Comes  True;   Planetarium    Opens    In   Observatory 


A  new  addition  to  Williams' 
teaching  facilities,  a  planetarium, 
will  open  within  the  next  two 
weeks  on  the  sophomore  quad.  The 
sky  theatre,  long  a  dream  of  Pro- 
fessor Theodore  Mehlln,  Field  Pro- 
fessor of  Astronomy,  will  be  lo- 
cated in  the  main  room  of  the 
Hopkins  Observatory  building. 
Museimi  rooms,  showing  the  his- 
tory of  astronomy  at  Williams  and 
modern  astronomical  concepts, 
will  occupy  the  rest  of  the 
building. 

Donations  Cover  Cost 

Professor  Mehlin  estimates  the 
total  cost  of  the  operation  to  be 
between  $26,000  and  $30,000.  The 
cost  of  the  projector,  made  by 
Spitz  Laboratory,  of  Yorklyn,  Del- 
aware, was  about  $15,500. 

The  necessary  funds  have  bebn 


donated  by  Mrs.  W.  Milham,  Mr. 
F.  Brandi,  a  Williams  alumnus 
and  the  James  Foundation.  Mrs. 
Milham  made  her  contribution  in 
memory  of  her  late  husband,  Wil- 
liams Astronomy  Professor  W. 
Milham. 
Many  Uses  For  Planetarium 

At  present,  the  projector  and 
the  seats  of  the  planetarlui*  are 
installed.  The  most  important  re- 
maining t^sk  is  the  completion  of 
the  heating  and  ventilating  sys- 
tems. The  projector  will  show  al- 
most all  the  stars  visible  to  the 
naked  eye  from  the  Williamstown 
area  in  their' true  positions  for  any 
time  of  year.  It  will  also  project 
planets  in  the  correct  part  of  the 
sky,  the  moon  in  its  various 
phases,  and,  when  desired,  a  sys- 
tem of  oo-ordlnates  which  w  1 1 


help  students  understand  how  the 
sky  is  mapped. 

Seating  will  accommodate  35, 
enough  for  the  astronomy  and 
navigation  laboratory  sections. 
Mehlin  expects  that  other  classes 
will  find  uses  for  the  planetarium, 
and  he  also  anticipates  interest 
from  local  public  school   groups. 

Changes  In  The  Observatory 

Eventually  the  Kast  room  on 
the  main  floor  will  contain  old 
astronomical  equipment,  including 
the  telescopes  brought  to  Williams 
from  England  by  Professor  Albert 
Hopkins.  The  West  room  will  be  a 
mu.seum  of  modern  astronomical 
concepts,  perhaps  a  scalj  model 
of  the  solar  system  or  of  a  b'mnvy 
star  system.  The  top  floor  will  be 
restored  as  a*  nineteenth-century 
i  observing  room.

Viewpoint 

But  Where  Are  The  697? 

By  Tim  Lull 

"Surely  every  Incoming  freshman  will  encounter  some  difficul- 
ties in  his  adjustment  to  college  life,"  advises  the  Eph  Williams 
Handbook,  "but  the  new  challenges  which  Williams  creates  in  its 
demands  on  the  student  will  almost  always  be  pleasant  ones,  and  for 
the  most  part  provide  highly  rewarding  experiences  far  beyond  any 
thing  high  school  could  ever  hope  to  offer."  Without  a  doubt  this  is 
true  for  the  vast  majority  of  Williams  men,  but  the  recently  released 
summary  of  dropouts  for  the  last  ten  years  gives  cause   to  wonder. 

The  net  loss  of  students  in  any  one  year  is  not  too  great,  be- 
cause of  the  great  numbers  of  accessions  (i.e.  transfers  and  re- 
turning .students),  but  between  1952  and  1962  a  total  of  697  people 
left  this  college.  The  171  who  left  for  academic  reasons  (low  average) 
and  the  526  who  left  for  other  reasons  did  not  find  the  Williams 
experience  "highly  rewarding".  Whether  the  failure  was  their  fault 
or  the  fault  of  the  system  is  largely  unknown,  for  apparently  no 
real  study  of  all  these  cases  has  been  made. 

Frederick  C.  Copeland,  director  of  admissions,  contends  that  such 
students  generally  have  the  intellectual  capacity  to  do  the  work,  and 
that  in  most  cases  the  problems  are  those  of  individual  adjustment. 
It  seems  highly  possible  that  an  investigation  of  such  problems  of 
adjustment  would  reveal  that  the  particular  Williams  versions  of  the 
Freshman  Year  may  somehow  be  related  to  the  failures. 

The  Handbook  suggests,  "the  new  student  will  find  the  close 
student-faculty  relationship  promoted  here  most  refreshing  ..." 
Most  freshmen  would  instead  suggest  that  the  lack  of  student-fac- 
ulty relationship  existing  here  is  most  surprising.  Rare  indeed  are 
the  freshmen  who  meet  a  single  teacher  (except  for  his  advisor) 
outside  the  classroom  or  the  office  conference  suggested  by  the 
teacher. 

Perhaps  the  faculty  should  not  be  expected  to  shoulder  re- 
sponsibility for  guiding  each  student  through  his  crises  of  adjust- 
ment. There  is  after  all  the  student  body  which  the  Handbook  des- 
cribes as  "stimulated  and  stimulating  intellectually,  greatly  diverse 
in  its  interests,  and  vitally  concerned  with  the  many  purposes  and 
goals  of  the  institution."  Some  might  disagree  with  this  optimisic 
evaluation,  and  in  any  case  it  does  not  apply  to  freshmen  who  are 
Isolated  from  the  upperclassmen,  while  going  through  problems  of 
their  own.  There  is  a  reasonable  limit  to  how  njuch  a  Junior  Advisor 
can  do.  The  total  result  is  a  sort  of  intellectual  and  social  year- 
long apprenticeship  at  a  time  when  integration  is  perhaps  most 
desperately  needed. 

How  does  all  this  relate  to  697  cases  of  separation  from  the  col- 
lege? A  part  of  the  answer  may  well  be  found  within  the  records  of 
these  students  who  didn't  make  a  go  of  it.  A  RECORD  reporter  can 
only  speculate  and  suggest,  and  the  Dean  and  Director  of  Admissions 
have  other  full  time  duties  to  perform. 

The  college  will  soon  begin  to  spend  considerable  money  to  follow 
up  the  results  of  the  10  per  cent  admissions  plan,  in  order  to  de- 
termine what  factors  make  a  student  with  a  mixed  record  a  good 
prospect  for  success  at  Williams.  This  will  furnish  certain  guides  to 
the  admissions  department. 

A  similar  investigation  could  well  be  undertaken  to  determine 
What  factors  were  responsible  for  these  many  losses.  If,  as  seems  pos- 
sible, certain  features  of  the  Williams  system  are  contributing  to  the 
problem,  then  they  ^should  be  reexamined.  The  ten  per  cent  plan  will 
furnish  a  guide  to  admissions  policy,  but  the  answer  to  why  students 
leave  may  reveal  information  that  will  not  only  help  to  prevent  drop- 
outs, but  make  the  life  more  positive  for  the  students  who,  never 
have  to  leave,  but  Just  barely  manage  to  scrape  by. 

This  is  not  to  suggest  that  the  success  of  an  educational  in- 
stitution is  measured  by  the  percentage  of  the  original  class  which 
graduates.  Students  are  sometimes  mistaken  in  deciding  to  come 
here:  mistakes  are  probably  made  in  deciding  whom  to  admit.  Low 
turnover  is  no  panacea  to  the  regular  problems  of  adjustment  of 
which  Mr.  Copeland  speaks,  nor  can  these  problems  be  totally  re- 
solved. Nevertheless,  these  697  cases  represent  a  wonderful  opportun- 
ity to  take  a  view  of  ourselves  that  we  are  often  reluctant  to  take- 
an  analysis  of  failures  rather  than  a  search  for  successes. 

Two  particular  groups  would  be  worth  special  study  -  those  who 
transfer  from  Williams  to  another  school,  and  those  who  return  after 
a  year  or  two  away.  Here  dissatisfactions  and  solutions  to  them 
should  be  most  obvious.  The  results  might  be  surprising.  We  have 
suggested  that  the  freshman  isolation  might  be  a  serious  problem, 
but  so  might  the  curriculum,  or  the  system  of  classes,  or  lack  of 
guidance  for  particular  students  who  show  signs  of  trouble,  or  even 
the  isolation  of  Willlamstown.  The  Handbook  is  hardest  to  believe 
when  it  proposes  that  the  "freshman's  social  life  is  ansrthlng  but 
limited." 

Perhaps  such  a  study  would  be  more  than  just  one  more  report, 
for  the  very  possible  causes  are  the  problems  with  which  Pi-esldent 
Sawyer  says  we  are  most  actively  concerned  at  present:  freshman 
isolation,  social  system,  curriculum  refoi-m,  amount  of  work,  lack  of 
a  nearby  girls'  school.  A  study  of  dropouts  seems  to  be  a  negative 
approach,  but  a  study  of  factors  related  to  phenomenal  success  at 
Williams  might  have  little  relevance  to  most  of  us.  (There  is  some 
question  as  to  whether  any  agreement  could  be  reached  on  what  con- 
stitutes success  here).  Perhaps  the  back  door  is  in  this  case  the 
most  relevant.  It's  what  you  do  with  what  you've  got  that  pays  off 
in  the  end.

Freshman   Deplores 
College  Architecture : 
Sacrifice  Of  Beauty 

In  light  of  your  article  on  the 
dining    room-lounge    addition 
planned   for  the   Berkshire  Quad, 
may  I  suggest  a  new  look  at  ar- 
chitectural disaster  on  our  cam- 
pus. We  at  Williams  are  very  for- 
tunate to  have  available  excellent 
examples    of    genuine    Federalist 
style  in  Griffin  Hall  and  the  Pres- 
ident's house.  The  historically  sig- 
nificant and  cleanly  simple  design 
of  West  College  and  East  College 
is  also   worthy  of  admiration.   It 
seems  to  me  that  the  clashing  de- 
bacles  of   Hopkins   Hall,    pseudo- 
gothicism,  and  mutilated  Georgian 
are  all  a  direct  result  of  abandon- 
ing our  remarkable  architectural 
heritage  to  current  fad  or  exces- 
sibe  utility.  Baxter  Hall  is  an  ex- 
cellent    example     of     sacrificing 
structural  beauty  and  campus  un- 
ity  to   practical   utility.   I   appeal 
to  the  planners  of  the  new  social 
units    to    respect    the    beauty    of 
Griffin  Hall  and  the  traditions  of 
this  historical  campus  at  least  to 
the   extent   of    basic   design    and 
materials  used,  as  in  the  case  of 
the  New  Dorm.  I  believe  that  the 
atmosphere  of  our  college  is  worth 
more  than  time,  utility,  or  mon- 
ey. Let  us  not  copy   the   hideous 
example  of  Harvard  and  its  ultra- 
modern vs.  traditional  conflict. 

Gentlemen,  I'm  pleading!

A    Moral 

AMF  Moral  For  The  'Motivated' 

In  1923,  eight  of  the  world's  most  successful  financiers  met  In 
Chicago.  They  were  men  who  had  found  the  secret  of  making  money. 
They  were: 

The  President  of  the  largest  Independent  steel  company; 

The  President  of  the  largest  gas  company; 

The  greatest  wheat  speculator; 

The  President  of  the  New  York  Stock  Exchange; 

A  member  of  the  President's  Cabinet: 

The  greatest  "boar  '  in  Wall  Street: 

Head  of  the  world's  greatest  monopoly; 

President  of  the  Bank  of  International  Settlements. 

In  Milwaukee,  that  same  year,  a  champion  was  crowned  at  the 
23rd  annual  ABC  tournament,  the  world's  most  important  bowling 
tournament. 

AMF  star  bowler  Evelyn  Teal,  who  was  born  in  1923,  did  some 
research  and  found  out  where  these  men  are,  forty  years  later. 

The  president  of  the  largest  independent  steel  company,  Charles 
Schwab,  died  bankrupt,  living  on  borrowed  money  for  five  year.s 
before  his  death. 

The  president  of  the  largest  gas  company,  Howard  Hopson,  went 
Insane. 

The  gi-eatest  wheat  speculator,  Arthur  Cotton,  died  abroad  in- 
solvent. 

The  president  of  the  New  York  Stock  Exchange,  Richard  Whit- 
ney, was  sentenced  to  Sing  Sing  Penitentiary. 

A  member  of  the  President's  Cabinet,  Albert  Pall,  was  pardoned 
from  prison  so  he  could  die  at  home. 

The  greatest  "bear"  on  Wall  Street,  Jesse  Livermore,  committed 
suicide. 

The  head  of  the  world's  greatest  monopoly,  Ivar  Krenger,  com- 
mitted suicide. 

The  president  of  the  Bank  of  International  Settlements,  Leon 
Pi'azier,  committed  suicide. 

The  winner  of  the  ABC  Singles  Title  in  1923  was  Carl  A.  Baum- 
gartner.  In  1963,  40  years  after  winning  his  ABC  championship,  he 
is  still  going  strong  and  is  an  advertising  and  public  relations  execu- 
tive living  in  Garden  City,  New  York. 

The  conclusion?  Stop  worrying  about  money  and  business,  says 
Mrs.  Teal.  Go  out  and  bowl.

Hastings  Joins  ASA,  Who's  Who; 
Miss  Harper  Chosen  As  Assistant 


PhlUp  K.  Hastings  '44,  Director 
of  the  Roper  Public  Opinion  Re- 
search Center,  has  recently  been 
elected  a  Fellow  of  the  American 
Sociological  Association.  He  has 
also  been  notified  of  his  inclusion 
in  the  new  "Who's  Who  in  Amer- 
ica." 

Hastings,  Professor  of  Psychol- 
ogy and  Political  Science,  was  al- 
so shown  as  a  consultant  for  two 
research  studies.  One,  on  Amer- 
ican public  opinion  institutes  and 
their  measuring  and  communica- 
tions, is  directed  by  Prau  Dr. 
Noelle-Neumann  of  the  Free  Un- 
iversity of  Berlin.  The  other,  on 
the  use  of  radiophonic  teachlnp 
in  Latin  America,  is  conducted 
jointly  by  International  Rcsearcli 
Associates  and  the  Rojjer  Center. 

Hastings  is  also  author  of  an 
article  entitled  "Uses  of  Sample 
Surveys  in  Comparative  Researcli" 
which  will  be  published  in  a  forth- 
coming issue  of  the  "International 
Social  Science  Journal."  He  re- 
cently announced  the  appoint- 
ment of  Miss  Isabel  Wescott  Har- 
per, daughter  of  Prof.  George  Har- 
per of  the  classics  department,  as 
Assistant  Director  of  the  Center. 

Miss  Harper,  a  1960  graduate  of 


MISS    ISABEL    HARPER

i.  Frankly,  I  don't  know  wliat  else  to 
tell  you.  You've  got  a  problem. 

It's  not  as  bad  as  it  seems. 
My  idea  is  to  find  out  the  name 
of  the  employment  manager 
at  the  company  I'm  interested 
in.  Write  him  a  letter  telling  him 
my  qualifications.  Spell  out  my 
interests,  marks.  Simple  as  that. 


0.  Say,  could  you  set  something  up 
for  me  at  Equitable? 

I'm  not  the  president, 
but  I'll  try. 


S.  A  letter  to  the  employment  manager! 
Ho  ho  ho!  You've  a  lot  to  learn. 

Then  how  come  I  landed  a 
great  job  at  Equitable—

Chapin  Library  Adds 
Presidential    Series, 
Other  Famous  Names 


Chapin  Library,  Williams'  cen- 
ter of  "rare  books  and  docu- 
ments," has  received  a  major  don- 
ation for  its  wealth  of  Americana. 
Now  on  display  Is  the  new  col- 
lection, a  gift  of  Elmer  H.  Bobst 
of  New  York  City,  consisting  of 
framed  portraits  and  letters  of  tlie 
Presidents  of  the  United  States. 
inclusive  to  Franklin  D.  Roosevelt. 

In  addition  to  the  29  auto- 
graphed letters  of  the  Presidents 
are  a  number  of  works  of  the 
giants  of  American  literature,  as 
well  as  the  writings  of  men  of 
lesser  reknown.  Henry  Wads  worth 
Longfellow,  Oliver  Wendell 
Holmes,  and  John  Greenleaf 
Whittier  head  the  list  of  distin- 
guished autliors.  Edward  Rowland 
Sill  and  Rose  Hartwick  Thorpe 
are  also  included. 

Hymns  And  Letters 

The  well-known  hymn  "O  Lit- 
tle Town  of  Bethlehem,"  by  Phil- 
lips Brooks  of  Hai-vard  fame,  and 
one  of  the  outstanding  national 
hymns,  "America,"  by  the  Rev. 
Samuel  Francis  Smith  are  com- 
plemented by  autographed  letters 
of  the  Marquis  de  Lafayette  and 
Napoleon  Bonaparte.  Alexander 
Hamilton's  letter  represents  the 
American  political  scene  of  the 
same  era. 

"Two  Eminent  Americans: 
Washington  and  Franklin,"  the 
current  exhibition  in  the  Chapin 
Library,  includes  over  75  rare 
IXKJks,  manuscripts,  prints,  and 
newspapers,  and,  with  the  letters 
and  portraits  of  the  Presidents, 
will  remain  on  view  through  Feb- 
ruary 28.

MMxn  lectures  On  Planetariums ; 
Development,  Present  Uses  Explored 


By  Lisle  DalU>n 

The  development  and  operation 
of  the  planetarium  were  the  sub- 
jects of  the  third  faculty  lecture 
of  the  current  series  given  Thurs- 
day by  Prof.  T.  G.  Mehlln,  Chair- 
man of  the  Astronomy  Depart- 
ment. 

At  one  time  the  term  planetar- 
ium meant  any  device  used  to 
study  the  motion  of  the  heavenly 
bodies,  but  presently  it  means 
either  the  projector  which  dis- 
plays the  celestial  bodies  on  a^ 
hemisphejical  ceiling  or  the  build- 
ing which  hou.ses  the  whole  in- 
strument. 

Oldest  Planetarium 

Prof.  Mehlin,  using  slides  very 
effectively,  traced  not  only  the  de- 
velopment of  planetaria  but  also 
the  development  of  present  as- 
tronomical concepts  of  heavenly 
motion.  The  oldest  recorded  plan- 
etarium, dating  back  to  72  B.C., 
is  the  globe  which  Atlas  supports 
on  his  shoulders.  It  is  now  in  a 
mu.seum  in  Naples. 

As  man's  ideas  about  the  un- 
iverse changed  from  the  Ptolemaic 
view  to  the  Copernican  view  the 
planetarium  became  more  complex 
in  showing  the  greater  complex- 
ities such  as  the  elliptical  paths 
of  planets  pointed  out  by  Kepler. 
The  Gottorb  globe  of  1660  per- 
mitted people  to  sit  inside  and 
watch  the  stars  painted  on  the 
inner  side  of  the  revolving  sphere, 
duplicating  the  seasonal  move- 
ment of  the  stars. 

Von  Miller  Makes  Breakthrougli 

Later  devices  employed  spheres 
in  the  ceiling  that  moved  on  a 
circular  track  which  showed  the 
planetary  motion.  The  break- 
through in  the  development  of  the 
modern  planetarium  was  made  by 
Oscar  Von  Miller  who,  in  1911 
proposed  using  a  globe  similar  to 
the  Gottorb  but  with  holes  in  the 
surface  through  which  lights  were 
shown;  the  darkness  made  it  more 
realistic.  Coordinated  projectors 
were   first  used  in    1924. 

The  first  good  projectors  were 
made  by  Zeiss  in  Germany.  The 
cost  of  the  large  projectors  is  very 
high,  about  a  quarter  of  a  mil- 
lion   dollars.    The    modern    pro- 


jectors, resembling  creature  of 
science  fiction,  have  the  general 
shape  of  dumb-bells.  The  star 
projectors  are  located  at  either 
end,  the  planet's  motions  are 
shown  by  projectors  in  the  frame- 
work between  the  star  projectors. 
Since  the  whole  unit  moves,  dual 
projectors  arc  used  continuously 
so  tliat  the  image  is  not  inter- 
rupted when  one  projector  is 
blocked  by  the  unit's  support. 

Limitless  Varieties 

Unlimited  varieties  in  reproduc- 
ing the  heavens  are  possible  with 
the  larger  machines.  They  can 
show  how  the  sky  looked  at  any 
time  in  the  past  or  how  it  will 
look  on  any  night  in  the  future. 
Mehlin  emphasized  the  versatihty 
of  the  bigger  planetaria:  complex 
motions  of  the  planetary  bodies 
can  be  duplicated  with  a  know- 
ledgeable manipulation  of  the 
complex  control  panel.  One  can 
see  the  change  in  the  phases  of 
the  moon  in  a  fraction  of  the 
time  nature  takes,  also  possible 
to  duplicate  are  such  phenomena 
as  the  Northern  Lights  or  Hal- 
ley's  Comet. 

The  planetarium  can  be  effec- 
tively used  in  teaching  astronomy 
as  well  as  for  study  by  the  season- 
ed astronomer.  With  these  new  in- 
struments one  no  longer  has  to 
wait  for  good  weather  for  obser- 
vation or  for  the  heavenly  bodies 
to  change  their  seasonal  posi- 
tions. The  study  can  also  be  made 
at  a  much  closer  distance. 

The  Boston  Planetarium  proved 
Sicence  can  be  profitable.  The 
dome  displayed  not  only  stars  but 
the  city's  skyline  including  the 
neon  advertising  signs.  If  a  firm 
failed  to  pay  its  fee  to  the  plan- 
etarium then  its  signs  would  be 
turned  out.  He  finished  his  lecture 
on  the  note  that  the  new  college 
planetarium  in  the  Hopkins  Ob- 
servatory would  be  ready  for  op- 
eration in  about  two  weeks  after 
final  touches  are  completed  on 
the  projector.  The  seating  ca- 
pacity will  be  limited  to  approx- 
imately forty  persons.  The  new 
planetarium  will  be  a  substan- 
tial addition  to  the  college  facil- 
ities. 


D  Phi  Holds  Symposium  On  Labor 


A  symposium  on  the  Role  of 
Latwr  Unions  in  the  American 
Economy  will  be  sponsored  by 
Delta  Phi  Upsilon  on  Friday,  Feb. 
22,  at  7:30  in  3  Griffin  Hall. 

The  participants  were  chosen  to 
represent  a  wide  range  of  political 
opinion.  Two  are  Corporation 
Presidents  and  active  industrial- 
ists, and  the  third  member  of  the 
panel  is  a  labor  attorney  who 
specializes  in  representing  Labor 
Unions  in  contract  disputes.  Fred- 
erick O'Brien,  Assistant  Profes- 
sor of  Economics  will  preside  as 
moderator. 

Wide  Range  of  Opinion 

Robert  W.   Stoddard,  President 


Scalp 
Treafments 


of  the  Wyman-  Gorden  Co.  is 
the  most  conservative  member  of 
the  panel.  Last  year  he  success- 
fully resisted  attempts  to  union- 
ize his  company.  He  is  also  rec- 
ognized as  a  conservative  intel- 
lectual and  has  written  several 
articles  for  the  New  York  Times. 

More  liberal  than  Stoddard  is 
Henry  D.  Sharpe,  Jr.,  President  of 
Brown  and  Sharpe  Mfg.  Co.  His 
position  on  the  question  is  indi- 
cated by  the  fact  that  15  Unions 
have  organized  the  workers  of  the 
Brown  and  Sharpe  Co. 

Asher  W.  Schwartz  '32,  a  part- 
ner in  the  New  York  Law  firm 
of  O'Donnell  and  Schwartz  was 
formerly  Assistant  to  the  Attor- 
ney General  and  is  now  a  labor 
attorney  representing  such  unions 
as  Newspaper  Deliverer's  Union 
of  New  York  involved  in  the  cur- 
rent New  York  newspaper  strike. 
His  views  are  expected  to  com- 
plete the  political  spectriun. 

Practical  Outlook 

Bruce  Owen  '65,  who  has  been 
active  in  arranging  the  panel, 
pointed  out  that  the  panel  had 
been  chosen  to  present  viewpoints 
which  would  be  "totally  practical" 
in  an  attempt  to  broaden  the  type 
of  outlooks  to  which  students  are 
normally   exposed.    The    question

has  been  phrased  to  allow  a  wide 
range  of  discussion,  but  it  is 
hoped  that  the  labor  question  as 
it  effects  foreign  relations  will  be 
the  main  topic  of  interest. 

Open  House 

In  addition  to  the  Symposium 
in  the  evening  there  will  be  an 
open  house  at  Delta  Phi  in  honor 
of  the  participants  from  3:30  to 
5:00  p.m.  the  same  afternoon.  If 
you  wish  to  attend  this  open 
house  you  are  requested  to  notify 
Delta  Phi  ahead  of  time  so  they 
may  plan  refreshments.  To  com- 
plete the  program,  there  will  also 
be  a  get  together  at  Delta  Phi 
following  the  Symposium.  Faculty 
and  students  interested  in  further 
discussion  of  the  problem  are  in- 
vited to  attend.

Spivey   Talks   On  Visions  Of  Evil 


"Only  the  man  who  enters  in- 
to darkness  can  see  the  light" 
was  the  central  theme  of  a  ser- 
mon delivered  In  the  Thompson 
Memorial  Chapel  last  Sunday  eve- 
ning by  the  Reverend  Robert  A. 
Spivey,  Assistant  Professor  of  Re- 
ligion. 

Attempting  to  answer  the  ques- 
tion, "What  does  the  Christian 
faith  say  in  a  Post-Christian,  sec- 
ular world  such  as  ours?"  Dr. 
Spivey  asserted  that  the  meaning 
of  the  life  of  Peter  lies  in  his 
denial  of  Christ,  as  related  in  the 
Gospel  of  Mark. 

Had  Peter,  in  fulfillment  of  his 
previous  boasts,  been  able  to  re- 
sist the  temptation  to  deny  Jesus, 
he  would  have  been  only  a  "third- 
rate  hero"  -  a  fisherman  and 
peasant  -  a  hero  who  is  "irrele- 
vant" and  "incompatible."  How- 
ever, stated  Spivey,  in  Peter's  hu- 
man inability  to  remain  heroical- 
ly loyal,  and  in  his  subsequent 
guilt  and  despair,  he  comes  to 
know  the  true  Christ,  and  is  en- 
abled to  preach  as  no  "hero" 
could. 

Humanity  To  God 

Arguing  that  the  central  fact  of 
the  New  Testament  is  not  "doc- 
trines and  immortality,"  but  the 
descent  to  humanity  of  God,  Dr. 
Spivey  said  that  man  today,  if 
he  Is  to  find  an  answer  to  the 
despair  of  a  less-than-perfect 
modern  world  in  which  science 
cannot  provide  the  answers,  must 
descend  deeper  into  the  "abyss"  in 
his  quest.  Like  Peter,  he  must,  rec- 
ognizing human  failings,  ques- 
tion and  search,  never  hiding  the

"dark  side  of  life"  behind  a  screen 
of  religiosity. 

Thus,  stated  the  recently  ap- 
pointed Chaplain,  Christianity 
becomes  always  a  "criticism  of  re- 
ligiosity," constantly  "demanding 
criticisms"  and  questioning,  and 
possibly  rejection,  before  one  can 
arrive  at  the  true  meaning  of 
Christ.  And  although  there  is  "no 
guarantee  that  God  is  to  be  found 
in  the  mud . . .  God  is  for  dirty 
hands." 

Student  Union  Debate 

In  a  post-Chapel  discussion  in 
the  Upperclass  Lounge  of  Baxter 
Hall,  Assistant  Professor  of  Pol- 
itical Science  Robert  L.  Gaudino

Freshman  Swimming 
Wins  At  Springfield 

Winning  every  first  place  but 
the  final  freestyle  relay,  the  frosh 
swimming  team  swamped  the 
Springfield  frosh  63-31  last  Wed- 
nesday at  Springfield. 

Sears  Takes  Two  Firsts 

Three  men  won  double  for  the 
Ephs,  as  four  frosh  records  fell. 
Lew  Sears,  who  has  scored  28  and 
one-half  points  so  far  this  season, 
again  won  top  honors  in  his  spec- 
ialities, the  100  yard  breaststroke 
and  the  160  yard  individual  med- 
ley. Lew's  1:08.0  for  the  breast- 
stroke  set  a  new  frosh  pool  rec- 
ord. 

Co-captaln  Jim  Rider  won  both 
his  events  in  record  time,  taking 
the  400  freestyle  in  4:11.0  and  the 
200  freestyle  in  1:55.9.  Setting  a 
new  mark  in  the  100  yard  free- 
style at  :62.0,  co-captaln  Don 
Rodger  won  the  40  freestyle  also. 

Tony  Ryan  with  58.0  in  the  100 
butterfly.  Bob  DuiPlessis  at  1:11.1 
In  the  100  backstroke.  Tucker 
Jones  the  diving,  and  the  medley 
relay  team  of  Al  Klrkland,  Lew 
Sears,  Tony  Ryan,  and  Ken  Kurtz, 
at  1:25.3,  copped  the  four  other 
firsts  for  the  Ephs. 

Team  Looks  Strong: 

Due  to  the  fact  that  the  team 
clinched  the  meet  after  the  sev- 
enth event,  coach  Muir  sub- 
stituted freely,  allowing  the  sec- 
ond string  to  swim  in  the  back- 
stroke and  the  freestyle  relay. 
Several  of  these  men,  notably  Bob 
DuPlessis  and  Jack  Iliff  in  the 
100  yard  backstroke,  turned  in 
strong  performances. 

The  shorter  20  yard  pool  didn't 
seem  to  hamper  the  team  at  all, 
and  the  good  times  bode  well  tor 
the  upcoming  Little  Three  com- 
petition.

Continued  from  Page  1,  Col.  5 

Dr.  Spivey's  views  on  the  roles 
of  the  Chapel  and  the  Chaplain 
at  Williams  are  quite  similar  to 
those  of  the  Reverend  Elusden.  The 
present  College  Chaplain  sees  his 
office  as  having  a  four-fold  func- 
tion: teacher,  minister  and  coun- 
sellor, preacher,  and  "spokesman 
for  religion"  on  campus.  He  main- 
tains that  there  are  "no  standard 
answers"  to  religious  questions,  a 
fact  which  "often  surprises  peo- 
ple." 

Eusden  has  expressed  "delight" 
over  the  response  to  the  new 
Chapel  arrangements,  after  the 
demise  of  Compulsory  Chapel  last 
summer.  Average  Sunday  atten- 
dance has  been  240;  Chapel  study 
groups  are  "twice  over-sub- 
scribed," and  will  be  expanded, 
and  the  service  projects,  including 
Operation  Haystack,  have  been 
working  well. 

Dr.  Spivey,  presently  Director  of 
Student  Union  Activities,  envis- 
ions a  changing  role  for  Baxter 
Hall  as  implementation  of  the 
Angevine  Report  is  carried  out. 
The  nature  of  this  role  is  as  yet 
impredlctable,  due  to  imcertainty 
about  the  number  of  nonaf  filiates 
dining  at  the  Union  in  the  future. 
Eventually,  however,  he  feels  it 
will  become  largely  a  freslunan 
center.  A  successor  to  this  post 
has  not  yet  been  named. 

The  Reverend  Spivey  graduated 
from  Duke  University  and  took  his 
B.D.  at  the  Union  Theological 
Seminary.  He  took  his  M.A.  at 
Yale,  and  has  taught  at  Yale.  He 
was  appointed  to  the  Williams 
faculty  in  1960  as  an  Assistant 
Professor  of  Religion.  Dr.  Spivey 
is  a  member  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa. 


asserting  that  the  Christian  rejec- 
tion of  the  hero  leaves  man  faced 
only  with  his  failures,  which  can 
only  be  overcome  through  the 
Grace  of  God — a  doctrine  which 
he  referred  to  as  "dangerous," 
referring  to  the  central  human 
strength  to  escape  the  "abyss"  in- 
stead as  an  essentially  human 
manifestation. 


Varsity  Wins  In  New  York  Relays; 
Ephlet  Squad  Second  At  Amherst 


The  Winter  Relay  team  was 
mistakenly  ceded  50  yards  in  the 
Club  and  College  Handicap  Mile 
Realy  at  the  New  York  Athletic 
Club  Meet  Friday  night  in  Mad- 
ison Square  Garden,  and  the  Eph- 
men  took  advantage  of  their  hand- 
icap to  win  easily  by  15  yards. 

Sprinter  Boots  Deichman,  run- 
ning 390  yards,  took  an  early  lead 
for  Williams  on  the  first  lap,  and 
the  Ephs  were  never  headed. 
Deichman  ran  his  abbreviated 
race  in  a  fine  45.6. 

Karl  Neuse,  Jock  Wright  and 
John  Osborne,  running  51.4,  53.0 
and  51.0  quarters  respectively, 
completed  the  Williams  rout  in 
easy  style.  CCNY,  with  a  40-yard 
handicap,  was  second. 


Frosh  Second  At  Amherst 

Saturday  night  at  Amherst  the 
Pi-eshman  Relay  team  ran  a  fine 
3:33.0  mile  to  finish  second  a 
scant  foot  behind  the  Lord  Jeffs 
in  the  freshmen  event.  Jack  Lane 
and  Tom  Ounn,  with  52  and  53 
second  quarters  respectively  led 
the  Ephlets,  and  Nick  Browne  and 
Dick  Murnane  added  54  second 
quarters   to  complete  the  race. 

The  Varsity  squad  makes  Its 
next  appearance  on  Friday  night 
March  1,  in  the  New  York  Knights 
of  Columbus  Meet  in  Madison 
Square  Garden.

Frosh  Squash  Splits;  Drops   Wesleyan  9-0 


Soaring  from  the  depths  of  de-

freshman  squash  team  lost  lop- 
sidedly  to  a  stellar  Yale  squad 
0-9  Wednesday  and  crushed  a

taking  hi.s  man  down  and  con- 
trolling him  well,  but  the  weight 
advantage  was  inevitably  the  de- 
ciding factor  as  he  was  pinned  in 
the  next  period,  giving  RPI  a  sur- 
prising 18-15  win  in  an  away  meet 
last  Saturday. 

Winfield  Scores  Pin 

It  was  definitely  not  a  good  day 
for  the  Eph  regulars,  as  only  John 
Winfield  wrestled  up  to  capacity 
In  pinning  his  137-pound  oppon- 
ent in  4:48  after  pushing  him  all 
over  the  mat.  Art  Wheelock,  back 
after  a  spell  of  the  "flu,"  squeaked 
out  another  one-point  win  on  rid- 
ing time,  as  he  has  been  doing  all 
.season. 


JOHN  WINFIELD 
.  .  .  Bright-  Spot   In   RPI    Loss .  .  . 

Pred  Tuttle,  a  newcomer  to  the 
147-pound  bracket,  was  doing  a 
good  job  on  Poloczak  of  RPI  when 
the  Engineer  pulled  a  leg  muscle 
and  had  to  forfeit  the  bout.  Cap- 
tain Jim  Bieber  could  only  gain  a 
0-0  stand-off  with  Riegle  in  a  dis- 
appointing match. 

Except  for  123-pound  John  Kif- 


Frosh  Matmen  Lose; 
RPI  Triumphs  22-5; 
Jay  Goldsmith  Wins 

Only  137-pounder  Jay  Gold- 
smith could  gain  a  victory  as  the 
Eph  yearling  wrestlers  dropped  a 
22-5  decision  to  RPI  last  Satur- 
day. In  the  most  exciting  match 
of  the  day,  however,  195-pound 
heavyweight  Marty  McLean  a- 
chieved  a  1-1  tie  with  a  240-pound 
Canadian  grappler. 

No  Pins 

There  were  no  pins  by  either 
team.  Gil  Conrad  lost  9-4  and 
Chip  Malcolm  followed  suit,  7-5, 
in  the  opening  Ijouts.  Goldsmith 
then  won  his  overwhelming  9-2 
decision,  but  could  not  quite  get 
the  pin. 

167  Forfeit  Again 

Gil  Watson  and  Tom  Basnight 
fell  victims  to  6-1  and  5-0  de- 
cisions respectively  in  the  middle 
weights.  The  167-pound  bout  had 
to  be  forfeited  for  the  second  week 
a.s  regulars  Dave  KoUender  and 
Gary  Millet  were  out  due  to  sick- 
ness. 

Davis  Edged 

Ned  Davis  at  177  wrestled  his 
bout  match  of  the  season,  losing 
a  narrow  2-0  decision.  A  first-year 
grappler,  Davis  has  shown  marked 
improvement  in  every  meet  so  far. 

The  frosh  now  move  into  Little 
Three  competition,  meeting  last 
year's  winner  Wesleyan  at  home 
this  Saturday. 


ner,  pinned  in  the  second  period, 
the  Purple  wrestlers  lost  by  nar- 
row margins.  Geof  Howard  was 
beaten  by  one  point  for  riding 
time  in  a  5-4  decision  at  167,  and 
Jay  Selvig  lost  a  2-0  decision  at 
177. 

The  Ephs  will  have  to  bounce 
back  fast  from  this  loss  if  they 
expect  to  retain  their  Little  Three 
title,  won  by  a  16-15  squeak- 
er over  Amherst  last  season. 


Sqmshmen  V/hitewash  V/esleyan; 
Fall  To  His;  Meet  Jeffs  for  Title 


The  Wesleyan  racquetmen  visit- 
ed Williamstown  last  Saturday, 
and  were  warmly  greeted  by  the 
Ephmen,  who  sent  them  packing 
on  the  wrong  end  of  a  9-0  score. 
So  complete  was  Williams'  tri- 
umph that  the  red-faced  Cardin- 
als managed  to  win  only  one  game 
to  twenty-seven  for  the  victorious 
Ephs. 

Williams  Shutout 

All  down  the  line,  Williams  was 
taking  the  matches  by  3-0  scores, 
except  in  the  third  match,  when 
Smith  caught  George  Kilborn  ap 
parently  before  he  was  "warmed 
up"  and  won  the  first  game;  then 
lost  the  next  three.  The  best 
match  from  Williams'  standpoint 
was  that  of  Bruce  Birgbauer,  who 
allowed  Mann  only  22  points  dur- 
ing  their  three  games.

The  previous  Wednesday,  how- 
ever, it  was  a  different  story  when 
the  Ephs  invaded  New  Haven  to 
take  on-  the  Eli  of  Yale.  There 
they  met  one  of  the  finer  squash 
teams  in  the  country,  and  met 
with  a  9-0  defeat.  Ralph  Howe, 
undisputedly  the  best  collegiate 
squash  player,  allowed  Mike  An- 
nison  a  meager  ten  points  during 
their  match. 

Bob  Hetherington,  ranked  num- 
ber two  nationally,  had  a  little 
more  trouble  with  Lenny  Bern- 
heimer,  who  managed  to  keep  the 
Yale  ace's  margin  relatively  close, 
and  even  to  win  one  of  the  four 
games. 

Ephs  To  Face  Harvard 

The  Ephs  face  a  similar  chal- 
lenge when  they  venture  to  take 
on  Harvard  this  Wednesday  after- 
noon. The  Crimson,  as  a  team, 
are  ranked  on  the  same  national 
level  as  Yale,  so  there  is  little 
hope  of  victory.  The  regular  sea- 
son finale,  to  be  played  at  Am- 
herst on  Saturday,  will  be  a  bat- 
tle for  the  Little  Three  champion- 
ship; the  Ephs  hope  to  deal  with 
Amherst  as  they  did  with  Wes- 
leyan.

Cagers  Dump  Middlebury,  88-59; 
Voorhees  Is  High  Scorer  In  Rout 

The  Williams  varsity  basketball  Foster 
contingent  regained  Its  high- 
scoring  touch  last  Saturday  night 
In  Lasell  Gym  In  trouncing  a 
clearly  out-matched  Middlebury 
quintet  88-59. 

Ephs  Start  Fast 

The  outcome  of  the  contest  was 
never  In  doubt  as  the  Ephs  jump- 
ed off  to  a  16-4  lead  at  the  ten 
minute  mark.  The  visiting  Pan- 
thers improved  only  slightly  in 
the  second  quarter  as  Wilhams 
took  a  commanding  34-16  lead  at 
halftlme. 

With  the  game  virtually  sewn 
up  at  this  point.  Coach  Al  Shaw 
was  able  to  substitute  freely.  Es- 
pecially rewarding  was  the  play  of 
sophomore  forward  John  Palmer. 
who,  along  with  co-caplain  Dan 
Voorhees.  paced  Williams  to  a  re- 
markable 30  point  output  In  the 
third  ten-minute  period. 

Voorhees  High  Scorer 

Palmer  with  14  points  wound 
up  second  In  Williams  scoring  for 
the  night  behind  Voorhees  who 
netted  16,  all  in  the  second  half. 
The  final  ten  minutes  saw  the 
Eph  subs  hold  their  own  with 
Middlebury  and  score  a  respec- 
table 24  points. 

The  rest  of  the  Williams  scoring 
was  evenly  divided  with  eleven 
men  hitting  the  scoring  column. 
Pete  Obourn  scored  10.  while  Plog- 
er  Williams  the  team's  leading 
scorer  got  all  of  his  8  points  in 
the  first  half. 

The  victory  was  the  third 
straight  for  the  Purple  and  puts 
the  season's  record  at  11-5.  The 
cagers  will  continue  their  defense 
of  the  Little  Three  title  as  they 
risk  their  2-0  league  record  against 
Wesleyan  at  MIddletown  In  their 
next  game.  In  their  last  meeting, 
the  Ephs  soundly  trounced  the 
previously  undefeated  Cardinals.

edged  a  hustling  Middlebury 
squad  Saturday  to  gain  their 
eighth  victory  of  the  season  a- 
gainst  one  defeat.  The  score  at 
the  half  time  break  was  tied  at 
28-28  but  Middlebury,  shooting  51 
per  cent  from  the  floor,  pulled 
ahead  by  five  points  with  seven 
minutes  left  to  go  in  the  game. 

Steve  Pox  then  came  off  the 
bench  to  score  a  "quick  basket

Hockey  learn  Trips  Penn,   9-2 
After  Bowing  lo  Harvard,   Army 


By  Bob  Mayer 

Playing  three  games  in  less 
than  seventy-two  hours,  the  Wil- 
liams hockey  team  trounced 
Pennsylvania  9-2  and  dropped 
contests  to  Army  5-1  and  Har- 
vard 4-3  to  even  their  season's 
record  at  9-9.  In  facing  Army  and 
Harvard,  the  Ephs  were  taking  on 
two  of  the  sharpest  clubs  in  the 
East  and  the  Purple  put  out  a 
fine  effort  each  time. 

GoodwilUe  Stars 

Paced  by  a  four  goal-three  as- 
sist performance  by  Gene  Good- 
wilUe, Williams  had  little  trouble 
dispwsing  of  Pennsylvania  Satur- 
day afternoon.  After  Sammy 
White  opened  the  scoring  at  6:06 
of  the  first  period,  Goodwil- 
Ue passed  off  to  co-captain  Tom 
Roe  for  two  goals.  In  the  second 
period.  Roe  became  the  playmak- 
er  setting  up  GoodwilUe  four  times 
In  fifteen  minutes  to  give  the 
Ephs  a  commanding  8-1  lead. 

This  was  by  far  Goodwillie's 
best  game  of  the  season.  The 
Quaker  defense,  in  "limiting"  Roe 
to  two  goals  and  four  assists,  left 
GoodwilUe  free  in  front  of  the 
cage.  The  Eph  line  was  able  to  get 
the  puck  to  him  in  close  and  the 
senior  forward  used  his  exception- 
ally quick  stick  to  good  advantage. 

Face  Army 

The  night  before,  the  Ephs  fac- 
ed a  big,  hard-hitting  Army  unit 
which  carried  with  them  a  13-2-1 
record.  The  Purple  put  up  a  stub- 
born battle  in  the  bitter  cold  but 
were  outskated  by  the  steady  Ca- 
dets. 


Army  had  a  big  advantage  in 
manpower.  Not  only  did  the  visi- 
tors from  West  Point  have  a  larg- 
er squad,  but  they  also  substituted 
much  more  freely  than  the  Ephs. 
This  can  be  seen  in  the  scoring 
where  the  goals  were  divided  even- 
ly among  five  men. 

Burger  Scores 

The  Cadets  took  advantage  of 
extra  man  situations  to  pile  up 
a  5-0  edge.  Eph  goaUe  Bob  Rich 
was  brilliant  in  the  nets,  making 
41  stops  and  keeping  down  the 
Army  lead. 'Williams  averted  be- 
ing shut-out  when  sophomore 
Gary  Burger  scored  from  in  front 
of  the  cage  on  a  Tom  Roe  pass  a 
minute  and  a  half  before  the  final 
buzzer. 

With  the  big  West  Point  de- 
fensemen  keeping  Roe  and  Good- 
wilUe away  from  the  goal,  a  great 
deal  of  the  Eph  offense  was  car- 
ried by  the  tremendous  hustling 
of  Doug  Maxwell. 

Williams  Starts  Strong 

Williams  found  itself  in  a  sim- 
ilar situation  at  Cambridge  Wed- 
nesday. Harvard,  another  power- 
house which  tied  Army  earlier  this 
year,  spotted  the  Ephs  two  goals 
before  opening  up  on  three  goals 
by  Taylor  to  take  command. 

The  Purple,  however,  played  an 
extremely  good  game.  Andy  Holt 
sent  Eph  hopes  flying  at  6:42  of 
the  first  period  when  he  drilled 
a  fifteen  foot  backhand  shot  right 
along  the  ice  through  Crimson 
goalie's  legs.  When  Roe  scored  five 
minutes  later,  it  looked  like  an 
upset  was  in  the  making.  But  the

faster  Harvard  club,  boasting  an 
exceptional  defense,  was  not  to  be 
denied. 

Roe  Nears  Scoring  Lead 

With  three  games  left.  Roe  is  at 
present  In  the  thick  of  a  struggle 
for  the  scoring  leadership  of  the 
Eastern  Collegiate  Athletic  As- 
sociation. As  of  Saturday  morn- 
ing, Middlebury's  Dates  Pryberger 
with  a  3.3  point  per  game  aver- 
age was  ahead  of  Roe  and  RPi's 
Bob  Brlnkworth.  Roe's  perform- 
ance over  the  weekend  has  raised 
him  to  3.2  right  behind  the  Pan- 
ther star.

Mermen  Conquer  Syracuse,  58-37; 
Connard  Sets  Two  More  Marks 

by  Gary  Elliot  Martinelli 

Thunderous  applause  rocked  the  Lasell  Pool  Saturday  after- 
noon as  senior  co-captain  Carroll  Connard  set  his  second  record 
of  the  afternoon,  one  of  which  was  a  New  England  mark,  in  lead- 
ing his  mates  to  a  58-37  mangling  of  Syracuse.  Connard's  record- 
breaking  efforts  in  the  200  yard  and  500  yard  freestyle  events 
highhghted  an  excellent  Williams  performance  in  which  two 
other  pool  and  one  college  mark  were  established. 

In  an  auspicious  debut,  the  400 
yard  medley  relay  team  of  Jerry 
Bond,  John  Wester,  Pete  Weber, 
and  Sandy  Kasten  combined  for 
their  best  effort  of  the  season 
with  a  Winning  time  of  3:58.4. 
Knocks  Off  Three  Seconds 
Connard  continued  his  re- 
lentless assault  on  the  N.E.  rec- 
ord board  (which  began  in  the 
opening  meet).  In  the  200  yard 
freestyle.  Cracking  his  own  mark 
by  three  seconds,  Connard  was 
clocked  in  a  fantastic  1:52.4. 

Co-captain  J.  P.  Moran  and  sen- 
ior Dave  Larry  powered  their  way 
to  a  1-2  sweep  of  the  50  yard 
freestyle.  Moran's  winning  time 
was  23.3.  John  Wester  and  Karl 
Matthies  notched  second  and 
third  in  the  200  yard  Individual 
medley  behind  Syracuse  ace  Mor- 
rison. 
Holme  Shines 

The  hard  work  extended  by  Dick 
Holme  was  rewarded  in  the  fancy 
diving  event.  In  racking  up  a  total 
of  75.80  points  Holme  broke  the 
pool  mark  by  four  points.  Soph 
Mike  Finney  earned  second  spot. 

Syracuse's  Morrison  went  to 
work  in  the  200  yard  butterfly  and 
came  away  with  a  pool  record  in 
2:14.5.  Ephman  Pete  Weber  power- 
ed his  way  to  second  place. 

Reversing  the  order  of  the  50 
yard  sprint.  Dave  Larry  and  John 
Moran  breezed  to  another  sweep 
In  the  100  yard  freestyle.  Both 
Larry's,  whcse  winning  time  was 
51.1,  and  Moran's  performances 
were  particularly  encouraging  to 
Williams  which.  It  appears,  will 
shine  in  the  New  Englands,  to  be 
held  at  Southern  Connecticut  Col- 
lege on  March  8-9.

Frosh  Hockey  Team 
Bows  To  Middlebury 

A  strong  skating  Middlebury 
sextet  handed  the  Williams  Frosh 
their  second  defeat  of  the  sea- 
son, Saturday,  by  a  3-1  score. 

During  the  first  period  both 
teams  were  fighting  to  get  within 
the  other's  blue  line.  The  Williams 
defense,  Ted  Noll,  Albl  Booth,  and 
Steve  O'Brien,  did  an  excellent 
job  in  containing  the  Middlebury 
team.  Williams  goalie  Scott  John- 
son was  forced  to  make  only  three 
saves  as  compared  to  11  for  Du- 
puy  of  Middlebury. 

The  lone  goal  of  the  period  was 
scored  by  Yaw  of  Middlebury  at 
7:22.  He  picked  up  a  loose  puck 
and  scored  during  a  scramble  In 
front  of  the  cage. 

The  second  period  proved  to  be 
Just  as  closely  contested  as  the 
first.  The  sole  tally  of  the  period 
came  at  0:28.  Bob  Bradley  took 
a  fine  pass  from  Ted  Noll  and  put 
it  in  the  corner.  It  was  William.^' 
lone  score  of  the  game. 

Middlebury  broke  loose  for  two 
goals  during  the  third  period.  Yaw 
scored  at  7:20  and  was  followed 
by  Halllwell,  who  tallied  at  11:46. 


in  the  200  yard  backstroke,  soph- 
omore Jerry  Bond  was  officially 
clocked  in  2:16.3,  breaking  the 
College  record  of  2:17.0  establish- 
ed by  Terry  Allen  in  1961. 

Connard  who  was  hardly  tired 
by  what  has  become  for  him  the 
200  yard  freestyle  sprint,  took  off 
for  another  mark  In  the  500  yard 
freestyle.  Pllp-tumlng  his  way 
most  of  the  time,  Connard  missed 
a  N.E.  mark  by  two  seconds  but 
set  College  and  pool  records  by 
touring  in  5:21.8. 

N.E.  pacesetter  John  Wester 
warded  off  a  serious  challenge 
from  Morrison  to  cop  the  200 
yard  breastetroke  In  2:28.0.  An 
impressive  performance  was  regis- 
tered by  soph  Lee  Modesltt,  who 
swimming  competitively  In  this 
event  for  the  first  time,  did  his 
best  time.

Peace  Corps  To  Administer  Test; 
Seniors  Will  Serve  Distant  Lands 


By  Rick  Coniey 

The  United  States  Government 
has  seen  fit  to  shako  off  its  bur- 
eaucratic regularity  and  arrange 
for  the  special  administration  on 
March  2  of  the  Peace  Corps  Place- 
ment Test  on  the  Williams  cam- 
pus. Student  interest  in  the  Corps 
is  of  considerable  proportion,  and 
Mrs.  Janet  Burns,  acting  liaison 
for  the  College,  has  urged  all  el- 
igible students  to  avail  themselves 
of  this  singular  opportunity,  with- 
out obligation. 

Sergeant  Shriver,  director  of  the 
Corps,  has  spoken  of  it  as  "a  part 
of  our  effort  to  help  in  the  world- 
wide assault  against  poverty,  hun- 
ger, ignorance  and  disease  -  a 
grass  roots,  rice  roots  volunteer 
effort  of  free  men,"  but  empha- 
sizes that  "we  must  combine  to 
work  together  ...  It  is  a  two-way 
street."  Foreign  demands  have  so 
flooded  his  Washington  office 
that  Shriver  sees  the  need  to  dou- 
ble the  number  of  volunteers  in 
1963.  Already  projects  are  boom- 
ing in  Central  America,  South 
America.  North,  West,  and  East 
Africa,  the  Middle  East,  India  and 
Pakistan,  and  Southeast  Asia, 
with  more  on  the  planning-boai'd. 

The  governments  of  countries 
which  have  received  Corpsmen 
publicly  acknowledge  their  indeb- 
tedness, a  sentiment  backed  by 
the  campus  opinions  of  foreign 
students  and  Cluett  Fellows.  The 
sharing  of  educational  benefits  by 
Americans  on  such  a  personal  lev- 
el is  considered  especially  invalu- 
able. 

Peace  Corps  General  Council 
Delano,  on  his  lecture-and-intcr- 
view  stop  in  this  part  of  the  Berk- 
shires,  expressed  his  personal  en- 
couragement at  the  "high  quality" 
of  the  Williams  undergraduates 
with  whom  he  had  had  the  chance 
to  meet.  He  made  clear  the  fact 
that  to  date,  Amherst  had  no  one 
in  the  Peace  Corps  and  was  not 
being  made  a  special  test  center. 

Corps  Accepts  Seniors 

Upwards  of  twenty-five  Wil- 
liams seniors  are  at  least  in  the 
application  stage  of  the  Peace 
Corps  project,  and  Roger  Nye, 
Woody  Hartman,  Bill  Boyd.  Wood 
Lockhart.  and  Peter  Moock  have 
already  been  notified  of  their  ac- 
ceptance for  the  training  period  to 
begin  after  graduation. 


Most  of  these  students  have  a 
genuine  desire  to  do  what  they 
can  to  bring  up  the  educational 
and  social  conditions  of  less  for- 
tunate peoples,  as  well  as  a  sense 
of  excitement  at  the  prospects  of 
travel,  a  radically  different  envir- 
onment for  an  extended  period, 
and  the  general  feeling  of  a 
potentially  highly  rewarding  per- 
sonal experience.  Many  admitted- 
ly just  want  time  to  think  and  to 
mature,  and  believe  that  this  is 
the  best  opportunity  for  doing  so. 

Teaching,  at  college  and  secon- 
dary school  levels,  is  almost  the 
only  specific  service  mentioned  by 
the  prospective  volunteers,  among 
whom  English  and  political 
science  majors  tend  to  predomin- 
ate. Draft-dodging  is  not  con- 
sidered an  issue  by  the  applicants. 

Applicants  Interviewed 

Roger  Nye  feels  that  the  Peace 
Corps  (being  only  two  years  old,) 
has  not  yet  had  adequate  time  to 
prove  itself,  but  that  "it  is  essen- 
tial that  the  United  States  do 
something  like  this"  in  view  of 
the  present  world  teiision.  He 
claims  that  the  harsh  living  con- 
ditions of  Corps  members  in  the 
field  is  largely  a  misconception 
and  that  the  institution  is  here 
to  stay. 

The  Peace  Corps  gives  idealistic 
young  people  a  cause  with  which 
to  identify  themselves,  according 
to  John  Pendergrast,  Chris  Cluett 
envisions  it  as  a  "catalyst"  in  the 
mutual  understanding  of  peoples 
of  varying  cultures. 

Bill  Hubbard  and  Al  Mondell 
stress  the  personal  relationships 
of  the  service  projects  and  the 
fact  that  student  opinion  is  de- 
cidedly in  favor  of  this  type  of 
work  and  will  continue  to  support 
it. 

Some  see  the  two  years  as  a 
chance  to  view  the  United  States 
in  worldwide  perspective  and  to 
assess  our  actions,  and  all  are 
convinced  of  the  benefits  accruing 
to  returnees  from  their  tour  of 
duty.  Stu  Brown  believes  that 
those  who  think  man  should  live 
in  brotherhood  can  not  only  con- 
tribute to  this  cause  on  a  per- 
sonal level,  but  can  also  reap  in- 
sight into  their  own  lives  and  the 
lives  of  others.

Frosh   And   Friends  Hear   Sawyer 


"It  is  a  moment  in  history  toi 
this  college  and  for  other  col- 
leges", explained  President  John 
E.  Sawyer  in  a  presentation  of  the 
"new  era"  for  Williams  College  to 
the  freshmen. 

The  dining  hall  was  packed  with 
freshmen  eager  to  hear  plans  for 
their  future,  and  surrounded  by 
an  assortment  of  nervous  frater- 
nity members  and  dirty  non-af- 
filiates that  "just  happened  to  be 
passing  by." 

Address  is  Kehash 

The  ill-assorted  audience  heard 
a  slightly  rehashed  version  of  an 
address  given  earlier  this  semes- 
ter to  student  leaders  and  mem- 
bers of  student  planning  commit- 
tees. 

Many  Changes   Seen 

Sawyer  presented  the  change  of 
social  system  as  an  integral  part 
of  a  whole  scheme  of  changes.  Ad- 
missions policy,  curriculum,  and 
physical  facilities  will  all  come  up 
for  review  and  revision.  With  tlie 
exception  of  mention  of  the  ten 
per  cent  plan  and  certain  pro- 
posed buildings,  the  President's 
comments  were  of  a  very  general 
natui-e. 

Plans  Displayed 

Assisted  by  standing  committee 
assistant  D.  Gardner.  Sawyer  dis- 
played floor  and  cross-sections  of 
plans  for  the  new  dining-living 
building  to  be  constructed  by  next 
fall  in  the  sophomore  quad,   and 


PRESIDENT  SAWYER  mending   his  Freshman   fences  after  his  speech. 


the   plans   for   the    conversion   of 
the  basement  of  Berkshire  Hall. 
Freshman  Interest 

The  plans  were  displayed  in  the 
freshman  lounge  after  the  talk, 
and  attracted  a  great  deal  of 
freshman  interest,  while  Sawyer, 
Dean  Harlon  Hanson,  prospective 
freshman  Dean  John  Hyde  and 
Gardner  engaged  in  answering 
questions,  most  of  which  were 
raised  by  the  fraternity  members 
present. 

In  describing  the  advantages  of 


freshmen  participating  in  the  new 
units.  Sawyer  cited  the  prospects 
of  student  involvement  in  the 
planning  for  next  fall.  He  reveal- 
ed that  student  committees  would 
be  formed  to  take  responsibility 
for  getting  the  units  organized 
and  ready  to  be  in  full  operation 
at  the  beginning  of  the  fall.  He 
called  this  opportunity  to  partici- 
pate in  new  and  meaningful  plan- 
ning a  chance  for  "a  more  mature, 
more  rewarding,  college  exper- 
ience." 


Discussion,  Rushing  End  Evening 

by  Alan  Fincke 
It  was  with  anticipation  and  perhaps  some  foreboding  that  the  Freshmen  looked  forward  to 

President  Sawyer's  speech  on  the  transition  situation  at  Williams  last  Wednesday  evening.  Many 

were  disappointed,  to  say  the  least,  with  what  followed  and  were  left  In  bewilderment  as  to  the 

President's  purpose  in  giving  the  speech. 

As  one  freshman  put  it,  "the  speech  consisted  mostly  of  generalities  and  vague  statements  and 

nothing  new  was  said  about  social  units  or  the  fraternity  situation."  Indeed  the  whole  point  of  the 

talk,  aside  from  advertisement  for 


the  new  social  unit,  seemed  to  be 
to  implore  the  frosh  to  "stay 
loose"  in  this  difficult  transition 
period. 

Questioners   Disillusioned 

The  question  period  following 
the  speech  reflected  the  fact  that 
the  class  generally  had  expected 
something  more  from  Sawyer. 
Such  basic  but  still  unanswered 
questions  as  "will  there  be  rush- 
ing", "how  long  will  this  transi- 
tion period  be",  and  "what  is  the 
schedule  for  completion  of  the 
proposed  new  social  unit  build- 
ings" were  posed.  One  freshman 
who  talked  with  Sawyer  for  an 
hour  and  a  half  after  the  speech 
"got  the  impression  that  he  (the 
President)  wasn't  really  certain 
as  to  what  the  freshmen  wanted 
to  know  about  the  whole  situa- 
tion." 

Fraternities  Counter 

After  a  while,  disillusioned  frosh 
began  to  leave  D.  Gardner's  and 
Sawyer's  discussion  group>s,  only 
to  be  ensnared  by  fraternity  men, 
eager  to  undo  the  "damage"  from 
the  speech  and  possibly  to  keep 
the  freshmen  from  looking  at  the 
enticing  drawings  of  the  new 
dream  unit.  With  the  fraternity 
men  gradually  drowning  out 
Gardner  and  Sawyer  and  with  no- 
body seeming  to  be  coherent  or 
have  anything  specific  to  say,  the 
evening  seemed  to  characterize  the 
entire  "transition  period"  as  a 
time  of  mass  confusion. 

If  the  purpose  of  Sawyer's  "fire- 
side chat"  was  to  keep  the  class 
of  '66  "loose".  It  certainly  seemed 
to  have  the  opposite  effect.  The 
general  answers  to  most  questions 
relating  to  the  "fraternity  situa- 
tion" seemed  to  indicate  that,  as 
far  as  the  freshman  class  was 
concerned.  President  Sawyer  had 
nothing  new  to  say. 


Overholt  Reveals  Wages  Of  Sin: 
Death,  Destruction  Assail  Smokers 

bi/  John  Rawls 

Cigarettes  were  burned  to  the  butt  in  Jesup  Hall  last  Tues- 
day night  when  Dr.  Richard  H.  Overholt  dissected  the  effects 
of  smoking  on  everything  from  lungs  and  bloodstream,  to  tlie  lips, 
eyeballs  and  bladder. 

Dr.  Overholt,  head  of  the  Overholt  Thoracic  Clinic  and  Pro- 
fessor of  Surgery  at  Tufts,  was  sponsored  by  the  Williams  Lecture 
Committee  and  the  AescaiDulian  Society,  the  student  pre-med  club. 
Most  of  the  talk  was  concerned  with  a  careful  explanation  of  how 
cigarette  smoking  is  able  to  cause  so  much  damage. 

The  most  jjrcvalent  result  is  emphysema,  a  condition  in  which 
the  thin  lining  of  the  air  sac  gives  way,  causing  shortness  of  breath 
and  expansion  of  the  lungs.  Dr.  Overholt  called  this  the  most 
common  condition  a  chest  physician  treats,  yet  it  is  rt^itricted  to 
smokers. 

Nicotine  in  the  bloodstream 
causes  contraction  of  capillarises. 
Capillary  contraction  in  turn  of- 
ten causes  heart  disease,  eye  af- 
flictions, and  cramps  in  the  ex- 
tremities. Nicotine  stimulation  al- 
so makes  heart  disease  two  and 
one-half  times  prevelant  in  smok- 
ers as  in  nonsmokers.  Because  of 
carbon  particles  filtered  out  of  the 
bloodstream,  cancer  of  the  blad- 
der and  the  kidneys  is  twice  as 
common  in  smokers. 
Lung  Cancer 

The  chances  of  contracting  lung 
cancer.  1  in  270  for  a  nonsmoker, 
are  cut  to  1  in  36  for  a  pack-a- 
day  smoker.  After  thirty  years  the 
pack-a-day  smoker  has  burned  up 
90  of  his  lungs'  potential  hundi-ed 
years,  with  odds  of  1  In  10  that  he 
will  die  of  a  chest  condition. 

Answering  questions  after  h  i  s 
talk.  Dr.  Overholt  stated  that  a 
confii-med  smoker's  craving  for 
nicotine  ceases  six  weeks  after  he 
gives  up  smoking  and  that  usual- 
ly the  body  is  able  to  patch  up 
ordinary  damage.  Asked  about  a 
lawsuit  with  Liggett  and  Myers  In 
which  he  Is  involved  as  expert  for 
plaintiff,  he  said  that  the  Jui-y  had 
ruled  that  the  plaintiff  contracted 


DR    RICHARD  H.   OVERHOLT 

cancer  from  smoking  Chester- 
fields for  thirty  years.  The  case  is 
now  under  appeal. 

The  large  crowd,  containing  an 
unusual  number  of  undergrad- 
uates, seemed  to  be  Impressed  by 
the  doctor's  speech  and  by  his 
straightforward  and  factual  style. 
Rumor  hath  it  that  a  few  have 
even  given  up  the  vice.

"DEAR  OL'  GOLDEN  RULE  DAYS" 
STUDENT    RESPONSIBILITY    ON    THE    OUTSIDE 


Soviet.  Student  Unions  Join  In  Russian  Festival 

'  _  ..     ,.       ., fifioH  "A   SiimmRr  to  Re 


The  Student  Union  Committee 
again  demonstrated  its  flair  for 
international  culture  Wednesday, 
when  students  joined  with  several 
faculty  members  to  celebrate  Rus- 
sian Day  at  the  Student  Union. 

Frederick  L.  Schuman,  Wood- 
row  Wilson  Professor  of  Govern- 
ment, highlighted  the  event  with 
a  series  of  illuminating  anecdotes 
on  his  travels  in  the  Soviet  Un- 
ion at  a  luncheon  In  the  Baxter 
dining  room. 

Pi-ofessor  Schuman  ha.s  visited 
Russia  three  times;  in  1928,  again 
in  1933,  and  most  recently  in  1956. 
Comparing  his  first  impressions  of 
life  under  the  Soviets  with  his 
latest,  he  declared  that  the  most 
striking  change  was  the  remark- 
able, almost  painful,  cleanliness 
of  the  country. 

He  also  related  several  amusing 
incidents  concerning  travel  under 
the  guidance  of  hopelessly  bureau- 
cratized  Intourist,  the  agency 
which  supervises  all  the  activities 
of  foreign  tourists  in  Russia. 

Less  amusing  was  a  story  of 
how  he  had  attempted  to  obtain 
a  volume  of  Leon  Tix)tsky  at  the 
Lenin  State  Library  in  Moscow. 
He  discovered  that  in  this,  ac- 
claimed to  be  the  world's  Largest 
Library,  he  could  only  be  allowed 
to  see  many  of  the  volumes  by 
special  permission,  or  by  virtue  of 
possession  of  an  advanced  aca- 
demic degree. 


Life  On  A  Collective  Farm 

The  usual  Wednesday  night 
guest  meal  became  a  Bolshevik 
banquet.  Chris  Fischer,  versatile 
chef  of  Baxter  Hall  prepared  a 
genuine  Russian  repast,  including 
a  tangy  onion  soup  called  Borscht, 
excellent  roast  duck,  and  a  rather 
gruelly  cereal  called  Kasha. 

Following  dinner,  a  Russian  film 
was  shown  in  the  Rathskeller.  En- 


titled "A  Summer  to  Remember", 
it  portrayed  in  an  amusing  and 
often  touching  manner,  one  sum- 
mer in  the  life  of  the  small  step- 
son of  the  director  of  a  Collective 
Farm.  It  made  clear  that  what- 
ever the  differences  between  the 
peoples  of  the  world,  the  youth, 
especially  the  young  boys,  are 
strikingly  similar. 


Viewpoint 

Alternative  To  Monolithic  Message 

by  ].  H.  K.  Davis  II 

La.st  weekend  a  nonpartisan  student  organization  at  Yale 
sponsored  a  three-day  symposium  on  "The  Individual  In  Mass 
Society."  This,  the  fifth  in  a  series  of  Challenge  programs,  drew 
together  such  respected  and  significant  people  as  Paul  Goodman, 
Yale  philosopher  Paul  Weiss,  Freedom  Rider  William  Sloane 
Coffin,  Jr.,  novelists  John  Knowles  and  Ralph  Ellison,  architect 
Paul  Rudolph  and  assorted  Congressmen,  artists  and  Yale  pro- 
fessors, to  discuss  one  of  the  more  important  considerations  facing 
contemporary  society.  To  a  Williams  student  accustomed  to  one 
or  two  major  speakers  delivering  one  or  two  monolithic  messages 
a  semester,  Challenge  represented  an  impressive  and  valuable  ap- 
proach toward  marshalling  expert  opinion  on  crucial  issues. 

I  have  been  told  that  the  purpose  of  the  Socratic  dialogue 
is  to  cause  a  response  in  the  mind  of  the  questioned.  If  the  normal 
college  student  was  as  receptive  to  the  challenges  offered  by  a 
speaker  as  Thrasymachus  was  to  Socrates'  discussion  of  justice, 
then  the  traditional  format  of  one  speaker  exhorting  his  own 
particular  interpretation  is  a  valid  one.  But  this,  alas,  is  too  sel- 
dom the  case.  The  college  student  cannot  react  in  an  intelligent 
manner  to  the  gamut  of  possible  alternatives  offered  by  one  man's 
opinion. 

What  a  program  like  Cliallenge  does,  dien,  is  to  include  a 
variety  of  views  offered  by  a  variety  of  men,  each  of  whom  is 
a  relatively  articulate  spokesman  on  a  particular  issue.  By  pre- 
senting their  personal  views,  each  speaker  opens  the  way  to  one 
possible  interpretation  of  the  question  at  hand.  The  spectator, 
then,  is  included  in  a  more  all-encompassing  dialogue  than  he 
would  be  if  but  lie  and  one  speaker  were  inter-relating.  Much 
the  same  effect  is  derived  from  a  reading  of  Socrates'  encounters 
in  the  Republic  where  at  least  two  views  are  presented  to  the 
reader. 

This  kind  of  group  partici|5ation  has  been  attempted  success- 
fully on  a  small  scale  at  Williams.  The  sort  of  debate  that  arose 
when  Professors  Tauber  and  Simpson  discussed  "the  Christian 
Ethic"  with  Harry  McPherson  was  most  valuable.  Tlie  excellent 
panels  that  marked  the  Convocation  ceremonies  this  fall  are  a 
perhaps  better  example.  But  if  one  analyzes  the  Challenge  pro- 
gram, one  sees  how  an  extension  of  these  sessions  into  a  three  day 
debate  can  be  more  beneficial. 

Challenge  was  opened  by  Coffin  and  Goodman  giving  their 
views  on  America's  reaction  to  "bigness."  Then,  a  panel  featuring 
various  urban  officials,  including  the  Rev.  Nornian  Eddy  and 
former  Congressman  Walter  Judd,  discussed  the  growing  pains 
of  metropolitan  areas.  Saturday  was  spent  in  "coffee  seminars" 
in  which  man's  various  roles  as  a  politician,  creative  or  social 
being  were  analyzed.  Saturday  night  was  highlighted  by  the 
appearance  of  folk-singer  Bob  Gibson. 

Sunday  was  devoted  to  a  panel  on  the  "Artist  as  an  Individual 
in  Mass  society,"  with  Knowles,  Ellison,  Rudolph  and  Weiss  par- 
ticipating. The  weekend  was  then  wrapped  up  by  program  co- 
ordinator Kenneth  Keniston. 

A  weekend  devoted  to  serious  consideration  of  an  important 
problem,  and  supplemented  by  the  presence  of  good  entertain- 
ment would  provide  a  stimulating  and  rewarding  departure  from 
the  snow  of  winter  or  the  fim  of  sjjring.  Tlie  cost  is  not  ex- 
travagant (admission  was  charged  at  Yale),  and  the  reputation 
of  Williams  is  such  that  it  could  easily  entice  intelligent  men. 
So,  why  not? 


Letter 

Delta  Phi  Holes  Up, 
Opposes  New  Order 
In    Trustees'   Report 

Dear  Mr.  Banks: 

In  my  letter  of  November  11, 
1962  I  mentioned  the  two  reso- 
lutions to  be  voted  upon  at  a  spec- 
ial meeting  of  the  Upsilon  Alumni 
of  Delta  Phi,  Inc.  to  be  held  in 
New  York  City,  February  14,  1963. 
The  first  resolution  in  which  our 
Board  solicited  authority  to  pro- 
ceed to  negotiate  with  the  stand- 
ing committee,  etc.  was  approved. 
The  second  resolution  in  which 
we  recommended  approval  of  the 
implementation  of  the  Angevine 
Report  was  defeated.  A  third  mo- 
tion was  introduced  and  passed. 
"In  view  of  the  keen  desire  of 
the  present  members  of  the  Un- 
dergraduate Chapter  at  Williams 
College  to  continue  as  a  fraternity 
on  the  Williams  campus,  and  in 
view  of  the  vote  of  Upsilon  Al- 
umni of  Delta  Phi,  Inc.  opposing 
implementation  of  the  Report  of 
the  Angevine  Committee  to  the 
Trustees  of  Williams  College,  it 
is  hereby 

RESOLVED  that  Upsilon  Alum- 
ni of  Delta  Phi,  Inc.  continue  to 
operate  the  real  and  personal 
property  owned  by  it  in  Williams- 
town,  Massachusetts,  for  the  ben- 
efit of  the  Undergraduate  Chap- 
ter at  Williams  College." 

The  Board  has  not  had  the  op- 
portunity to  give  any  further  time 
and  attention  to  our  mutual  prob- 
lem, since  the  meeting  was  held 
only  three  days  ago.  The  next 
month  will  see  many  of  our  Board 
members  away  on  vacation,  so  I 
do  not  anticipate  calling  my  next 
Directors  Meeting  prior  to  April 
1st.  I  am  sure  Dick  Chapell  will 
be  in  contact  with  you  following 
his  return  from  Florida  next 
month.  In  the  meantime.  Dean 
Webster  attended  our  New  York 
meeting  and  would  be  happy  to 
enlighten  you. 

Sincerely  yours, 

John  A.  Peterson,  Jr.,  '48 


Peace    Corps    Tests 

Continued  from  Page  I,  Col.  2 

An  impromptu  current  affairs 
quiz  proved  that  several  of  the 
hopeful  volunteers  had  not  yet 
heard  that  Kwame  Nkrumah  was 
leading  Ghana  or  that  the  Japan- 
ese Government  had  a  basically 
pro- Western  pxjlicy,  but  all  agreed 
that  the  intensive  training  pwrlod 
would  afford  them  the  necessary 
background  for  such  questions. 
Any  student  desiring  information 
about  the  Peace  Corps  should  con- 
tact Mrs.  Burns  at  the  Cluett 
Center,  since  the  March  2  test  is 
merely  for  placement  and  contains 
no  obligation.  Majors  in  all  sub- 
jects are  needed,  and  one  must 
merely  turn  in  an  application 
blank  to  take  the  teat.

iph  Squash,  '  Playing  Well ',  Loses 
fo  Harvard  Racquetmen  In  8-1  Match 


Xlie  varsity  squash  team  visited 
ambrldgc  on  Tuesday  to  take  on 
ic  Hiiivard  racquetmen.  The  con- 
dent  spirit  generated  by  their 
jiivincing  victory  over  Weslcymi 
;st  Saturday  enabled  tlie  Eplis  to 
Ijy  a  good  match  although  losing 
•1. 

There  were  a  few  surprises,  one 
[  which  was  Lenny  Bernheimer's 
ii-ee-game  victory  over  the  Crim- 
)ii's  number  two  man,  Sullivan. 
rook.s  Goddard  and  Frank  Thay- 
■  also  played  exceptional  malch- 
i  only  to  lose  in  five  games. 

Goddard  Outstanding: 

Goddard's   match   was   possibly 


the  most  exciting  of  the  day.  Af- 
ter winning  the  first  two  games 
by  one  iwint  each,  he  lost  the 
last  game  by  three  iJoints  in  a 
deuce  situation.  Warren  King  and 
Chuck  Elliott  also  managed  to 
take  one  game  from  their  oppon- 
ents. 

"Chafe"  thought  Bernlieimer 
played  "a  wonderful  match"  in 
winnhig,  and  also  said  the  Eplis, 
as  a  team,  played  very  well  a- 
gnlnst  Harvard,  generally  consid- 
ered to  be  the  nation's  best  team.

Connurd  And  Bond  Set  Records 
As  Ephmen  Swamp   llConn   61-34 


New  Eiigland's  most  formid- 
able swimmer,  Carroll  Connard, 
with  three  victories  including  one 
N.E.  record,  led  his  Eph  mates  to 
a  61-34  dunking  of  UConn  in  an 
away  meet  Tuesday.  In  extending 
their  season's  record  to  4-3,  the 
defending  N.E.  champs  establish- 
ed three  UConn  pool,  three  Wil- 
liams College,  and  one  N.E.  rec- 
ord. 

Opening  in  championship  form, 
the  revamped  Eph  400  yard  med- 
ley relay  team  of  Put  Brown. 
John  Wester,  Pete  Weber,  and 
Sandy  Kasten  established  a  Col- 
lege and  pool  record  in  3:56.0.  In 
topping  the  record  of  3:57.5 
set  last  year,  however,  the  Eph- 
men still  fell  four  seconds  short 
of  the  N.E.  record  set  recently  by 
Bowdoin  at  the  Lassell  Pool. 

The  indefatigable  Connard,  who 
seldom  swims  without  setting 
some  sort  of  mark,  breezed  to  tlic 
first  of  his  three  wins  in  the  200 
yard  freestyle.  While  not  matcli- 
ing  his  N.E.  record  set  last  Sat- 
urday. Connard  was  not  far  off 
and  set  a  UConn  pool  mark  in 
1:53.7. 

Larry  is  Twin-Winner 

Senior  Dave  Larry,  a  double  win- 
ner for  Williams,  edged  Conn  star 
Wallace  and  teammate  J.  P.  Mor- 
an  to  capture  the  50  yard  free- 
style in  23.1. 

The  winning  streak  of  divers 
Mike  Finney  and  Dick  Holme  was 
finally    interrupted    by    the    per-

tablishing  a  New  England  record 
in  2:08.9,  Connard  wiped  six  sec-

Bond  Sets  Mark 

For  tlie  second  consecutive 
meet,  soph  Jerry  Bond  erased  the 
Williams  College  backstrolce  rec- 
ord while  finisliing  second  in  this 
event.  Trailing  N.E.'s  second  best

2:10.6,  Bond  linoclced  two  seconds 
off  his  College  record  set  last  Sat- 
urday with  the  time  of  2:14.0.  Put

strolce  leg,  led  the  medley  relay 
team  to  its  record,  gained  third 
place. 

New  England's  top  breaststroker 
John  Wester,  in  copping  first 
place,  set  a  pool  record  in  2:27.7.

Harvard  Frosh  Beat

Harvard-Yale  rivalry  reached 
new  heights  Tuesday  as  the  Crim-

smash  their  Williams  counterparts 
more  decisively  than  the  New 
Haven  racqueteers;  the  result  was 
a  lopsided  9-0  score  but  a  more 
spirited  resistance  by  the  high- 
spirited  though  outplayed  Ephlets. 

Jeff  Millington  in  the  fifth  slot 
stayed  alive  longest  by  taking  his 
Crimson  opponent  to  five  games, 
the  last  of  which  was  lost  15-13. 
Sixth  man  Bob  Rubin  fell  far 
short  of  submitting  tamely  with 
a  3-1  effort.  Although  the  rest  of 
the  squad  succumbed  in  three,

Cagers  Maintain  Win  Streak,  76-62 
Williams  Leads   Ephs   Over   Unioi 


By  B.  L.  Vandal 

Williams'  varsity  basketball 
squad  made  it  lour  in  a  row  Tues- 
day night  in  an  easy  76-63 
triumph  over  a  mediocre  Union 
team. 

Refused  To  Shoot 

The  Eph  performance  was  hard- 
ly inspiring,  but  it  did  not  need 
to  be.  Union  showed  a  marked 
unwillingness  to  shoot  throughout 
large  portions  of  the  game,  and 
the  opponents'  flashy  style  of  play 
had  the  small  but  more  obnox- 
ious than  usual  Williams  crowd 
delightedly  counting  in  loud  voic- 
es the  number  of  Union  passes 
made  before  a  shot  was  taken. 
(High  count  was  23.) 

The  visiting  Garnets  took  an 
early  lead  on  foul  shots  by  high- 
ly-touted Dave  Santos  and  back- 
court  whiz  Mike  Sahr.  Al  Poster 
hit  for  Williams'  first  bucket,  and 
after  Dan  Voorhees  sank  two  foul 
shots,  the  Pui'ple  was  never  again 
behind  although  Union  managed 
to  tie  the  game  up  three  times  in 
the  first  ten  minutes. 

Rog  Williams  Gives  Early  Spark 

Mostly  on  the  strength  of  Rog- 
er Williams'  eight  early  points,  the 
Ephs  were  tied  15-15  at  11:36  of 
the  first  half.  From  this  point  on 
Union  was  out  of  the  running  as 
Williams  scored  twelve  straight 
points.  Steve  Weinstock  led  off 
with  a  foul  shot,  and  Al  Foster 
netted  seven  straight  points  with 
Dave  Coolidge  adding  four  before

The  remainder  of  the  half  fea- 
tured unimaginative  even  play, 
and  the  period  ended  with  the 
Ephs  maintaining  a  ten  point  39-

notched  12  points  for  the  Purple, 
while  Union   was  led  by  co-cap- 


tain   Toby    Lustig    with    U    a 
flashy  Mike  Sahr  with  9. 
Second  Half  Superfluous 

The  second  half  featured  nol 
ing  of  importance.  Twice  Uni 
narrowed  the  Williams  load 
seven  points,  and  once  this  le 
was  raised  to  16.  The  oulcot 
however,  was  never  in  doubt,  a

around  10  ix)ints. 

Lustig  provided  the  only  i 
markable  event  of  the  half 
scoring  ten  straight  points  in 
five  minute  period  as  well  as 
tipping  the  ball  into  the  Williai 
basket  once.  The  crowd  had  to 
satisfied  with  referee-baiting  a 
rattling  classy  Mike  Sahr  into  t

Kershaw  Gives  View 
Of  Russian  Economy; 
Sees  Future  Growth 


By  Bob  Christiansen 

Economics  Professor  Joseph  A. 
Kershaw  talked  to  an  overflow 
crowd  last  Thursday  afternoon  on 
the  nature,  problems  and  prospects 
of  the  Soviet  Economy. 

The  Lecture.  "The  Economic 
Threat  of  the  Soviet  Union"  was 
the  fourth  in  a  scries  of  weekly 
faculty  lectures  at  the  Biology  lab- 
oratory. Kershaw  concluded  that 
the  soviet  system  is  growing  and 
will  continue  to  grow,  though  at 
a  reduced  rate,  faster  than  the 
U.S. 

Kershaw  first  perused  the  "spot- 
ty" picture  of  the  Soviet  econ- 
<imy  throughout  the  nation's  mod- 
ern history. 

Although  Russia  is  trailing  the 
United  States  in  total  economic 
outlook,  "it  is  not  terribly  far  be- 
hind us  and  is  much  closer  than 
it  ever  has  been,"  affirmed  Ker- 
shaw. He  sighted  the  collectiviza- 
tion of  agriculture,  World  War  II, 
and  the  space  achievements  of 
1957  as  the  major  events  affecting 
the  Soviet  economy. 

Kershaw  then  mentioned  three 
outstanding  characteristics  of  the 
Soviet  economy:planning,  agricul- 
ture, and  goals. 

Planning:  Apparatus 

He  signaled  first  Planning  Ap- 
paratus as  the  chief  cause  of  this 
great  Improvement  in  Russia's  ec- 
onomic situation.  The  USSR  in- 
itiated this  program  in  1929  with 
the  first  Pive-Year  Plan. 

"There  Is  a  definite  goal  which 
the  government  sets,  and  you  can 
be  sure  that  the  results  will  ap- 
proximate the  set  goals,"  stated 
Kershaw. 

Collective  Farm 

A  second  characteristic  of  the 
Soviet  economy  is  the  organ- 
ization of  agriculture.  Most  comes 
in  the  form  of  the  Collective 
Farm  set  up  under  government 
supervision,  when  many  families 
work  and  share  profits  together. 

The  final  characteristic  that  he 
considered  was  the  actual  goal  of 
the  system.  In  contrast  to  the  U.S. 
goal  of  satisfying  the   desires  of 


Reverend  Robinson    Explains 
How  ^Nothing    Is  Impossible' 


the  consumers,  the  USSR  aims  at 
growth  and  more  growth   of  pro- 1 
duction.  I 

Growth  Rates  | 

How  well  the  Soviets  achieved  ■■ 
their  goal  shows  up  in  the  figures.  I 
Since  the  1920's  there  has  been 
a  consistant  growth  of  6  per  cent 
per  year,  meaning  a  100  per  cent 
increase  every  eleven  years.  In 
comparison  to  our  growth  of  3 
per  cent  per  year,  this  represents 
a  sizable  difference  and  helps  ac- 
count for  the  USSR's  swift  rise 
to  2nd   in  the  Economic  ranks. 

To  give  a  complete  picture  of 
the  Soviet  economic  situation  Ker- 
shaw struck  upon  the  standard  of 
living  in  Russia.  The  standard  of 
living  in  Russia  in  1953  had  hardly 
changed  from  that  of  1917.  Al- 
though still  very  low,  it  has  man- 
aged to  rise  quite  a  bit  since  then. 

Heavy   Industry 

Heavy  industry  growth  in  the 
Soviet  Union  has  reached  even 
higher  rates;  8  to  U  per  cent.  This 
success  arises  from  three  factors  - 
I II  copying  of  techniques,  i2)  im- 
provement and  modernization  of 
outmoded  equipment  i3)  the  type 
of  investment  policies  employed  by 
the  State. 

In  explaining  the  third  factor 
one  must  say  that  the  rate  and 
direction  of  the  investment  are 
different  in  the  two  nations.  U.S. 
investments  are  concerned  with 
the  individual  whereas  the  Soviet 
policies  are  very  centralized. 

Slowdown 

Kershaw  feels  that  the  Russian 
growth  rate  will  decline  in  the 
future  but  will  remain  higher 
than  ours.  Increased  Housing  ex- 
penditure will  be  the  cause  of  this 
decline  since  it  is  not  investment 
like  heavy  industry,  that  readily 
produces  growth. 

The  biggest  problem  that  the 
USSR  must  face  is  that  of  agri- 
culture. "Our  farm  surplus  prob- 
lem is  one  the  Russians  would 
dearly  love  to  solve,"  said  Ker- 
shaw. But  though  it  remains  Rus- 
sia's greatest  weakness,  it  is  no 
"Achilles  heel"  which  would  lead 
to  the  economy's  collapse. 


Dr.    Robinson 
By  J.  H.  K.  Davis  II 

"Nothing  is  impossible,"  the  man  said.  "There's 
always  a  way."  With  this  naive  belief  as  his  credo, 
the  Rev.  Dr.  James  H.  Robinson  has  wrought  won- 
ders of  harmony  in  a  world  dominated  by  conflict 
and  chaos.  His  views  on  the  ways  of  life  and  the 
means  necessary  to  achieve  them  enchanted  and 
enthralled  his  Sunday  night  audiences,  tioth  in  the 
chapel  and  at  a  discussion  that  followed  at  Chi  Psi. 

As  founder  and  director  of  Operation  Cross- 
roads Africa,  Robinson  has  sent  hundreds  of  US 
college  students  to  the  Dark  Continent  to  bring  it 
the  advantages  of  our  society  and,  most  important, 
to  make  the  students  realize  "what  Africa  can  give 
to  us." 

Jews  In  Egypt 

His  groups  have  defied  traditional  customs  and 
laws.  Last  year  interracial  Crossroads  was  repre- 
sented at  a  conference  in  apartheid-practicing 
South  Africa.  This  summer  will  see  Jewish  students 
training  athletes  in  notoriously  anti-Semitic  Egypt. 
Next  year,  Robinson  wants  to  speak  in  the  chapel 
at  Ole  Miss. 

Robinson's  activities  are  based  on  several  as- 
sumptions that  became  obvious  during  his  appear- 
ances here.  The  first  is  a  belief  in  the  brotherhood 
of  all  men,  be  they  Catholic,  Negro  or  Mississippian. 
They  are,  then,  as  the  Psalmist  tells  us,  "bound  up 
in  the  bundle  of  life."  Coupled  with  his  seeming 
denial  of  the  impossible  -  "it  just  makes  things  a 
little  more  difficult"  -  Robinson  transforms  these 
hopes  into  reality. 

Robinson's  sermon  was  entitled  "Brotherhood  - 
Alternative  to  Mass  Destruction."  In  prescribing  a 
remedy  for  the  world's  ills,  he  attempted  to  an- 
swer Cain's  invidious  question,  "Am  I  my  brother's 
keeper?"  His  conclusion  was  that  man  must  as- 
sume this  responsibility  if  he  is  to  avert  the  ter- 
rible destruction  that   may  await  him. 

Cain    was    not   the   last    man    to   murder   his 


and    followers 

brother,  but  this  does  not  justify  the  existence  or 
continuation  of  fratricide.  "A  more  terrible  fate 
than  Cain's  awaits  us  if  we  cannot  develop  better 
brother  relationships."  We  must  lieed  the  words  of 
Wendell  Wilkie  when  he  said,  rather  prophetically, 
"This  world  must  become  one  world  or  it  might 
well  end  up  being  no  world." 

Robinson  says  that  two  foes  are  in  mortal 
combat  -  those  who  are  selfish,  hateful  and  full  of 
false  notions  of  superiority  and  those  who  live,  love 
and  have  faith.  These  enemies  are  not  political, 
economic  or  ideological,  but  are  rooted  deep  in  the 
psyches  of  individual  men.  In  fact,  Robinson  says 
that  political  differences  can  enrich  the  world  if, 
for  instance,  Americans  can  learn  to  distrust  Com- 
munism without  distrusting  or  hating  the  man  who 
happens  to  be  a  Communist. 

Inner  Conflicts 

The  resolution  of  man's  inner  conflicts  will  re- 
sult in  brotherliood,  a  state  necessary  for  this  ten- 
sion-riddled age.  It  will  be  accomplished  by  broth- 
ers, "born  for  adversity,"  who,  for  even  a  short 
while,  put  away  their  petty  prejudices  in  favor  of 
the  good  of  all  mankind. 

Following  his  sermon,  Robinson  entertained  a 
large  audience  at  Chi  Psi  with  his  humorous  recol- 
lections of  politicians,  the  Black  Muslims,  Adam 
Clayton  Powell,  Africa  and  darn  near  everything 
under  the  sun.  He  also  offered  many  perceptive 
insights  into  the  problem  of  race  relations  and  the 
personalities  involved  in  their  betterment. 

On  the  Black  Muslims:  "They  are  a  response 
to  frustration,  much  like  Father  Divine."  On  Adam 
Clayton  Powell:  "  .  .  .  he  is  one  of  the  most  gifted 
men  in  the  country."  On  Kennedy's  housing  order: 
"It  is  a  step  in  the  right  direction  and  will  probably 
have  good  effects."  On  civil  rights:  "the  key  to  the 
whole  problem  is  housing."  On  what  he  likes  best 
before  going  to  bed:  "a  glass  of  brandy."  He  got  it 
and  was  gone,  hopefully  only  until  next  year. 


'  Threepenny '  Beggars  Take  Over 

AMT  Readies  For  March  Productions 


The  Adams  Memorial  Theatre 
hummed  with  activity  last  Satur- 
day in  preparation  for  Brecht's 
"Threepenny  Opera",  opening  this 
Friday,  and  "The  Waiting  Room". 
by  Peter  Simon  '65,  which  will 
open  in  the  experimental  theatre 
on  March  13. 

Robert  T.  Williams,  set  designer 
for  "Threepenny",  was  presiding 
over  a  crew  of  painters  engaged  in 
giving  the  set  color.  He  explained 
the  maze  of  confused  colors  as 
"what  would  appeal  to  a  beggar", 
adding  that  this  characterized  the 
set  as  a  whole.  Ropes,  lights,  and 
backstage  movement  will  be  seen 
by  the  audience  in  order  to  bring 
them  closer  to  the  performance 
which,  It  is  apparent,  is  being  put 
on  by  the  beggars,  about  beggars, 
for  beggars.  The  set  will  also  pro- 
vide a  variety  of  levels  for  the 
actors,  and  several  startling  tech- 
nical devices  to  ease  the  compli- 
cated flow  of  action. 

Derek  Hunt,  master  carpenter 
and  electrician,  was  running  a 
technical  rehearsal,  by  stage  man- 


"Firaf  feed  the  face,  ond  then  folk  right  ond  wrong 


ager  Bill  Mensel  '64,  and  his  as 
sistant.  Dusty  Griffin,  '65.  Elec- 
tricians Christopher  Welch  and 
Ted  Cornell.  '65,  were  testing 
lights.  "We've  developed  some  dy- 


namic new  color  concepts' 
Welch  mysteriously,  and 
appeared  among  the  rafters. 

Prosser  Explains  Bole 

Selling  tickets  in  the  box 


was  Bill  Prosser,  '64,  who  will  play 
the  leading  role  of  Macheath.  He 
remarked  that  in  many  ways  this 
was  one  of  the  most  difficult  parts 
he  has  ever  done.  "Everything  that 
Macheath  does  must  be  verV  pre- 
cise, polished,  finished",  he  said. 
"It's  not  enough  to  merely  'feel' 
like  Macheath  -  a  great  deal  of 
self-conscious  technique  is  neces- 
sary". 

Also  difficult  to  portray  is  the 
ambivalence    of    Macheath,    who 
must  be   a    hardhearted,    lovable 
charming    criminal.    According    to 
Prosser,  this   dichotomy  is  paral- 
leled  by   the    tone    of    the   play: 
although    it    is    mostly    comedy, 
"Threepenny   Opera"   has   a   very 
jSerioub  final  intention.  The  tone, 
like  that  of  most  of  Brecht's  work, 
combination  of  laughter  and  guts. 
"The    laughter    makes    it    more 
plausible",  said  Prosser  as  he  took 
said  I  an  order  for  eight  tickets.  He  ob- 
dls- 1  served  happily  that  opening  night 
was   almost  completely   sold   out. 
Director  Jon  von  Szellski  noted 
office  I  that  the  tone,   while  perhaps   in 


some  ways  serious,  was  never  "sac- 
rosanct", and  that  he  felt  that 
the  AMT  approach  of  "artistic 
raggedness"  was  a  new  and  dif- 
ferent interpretation  of  "Three- 
penny  Opera". 

Waiting  Room  Designed 

Etownstairs  in  the  experimental 
theatre  Peggy  Donald,  a  Benning- 
ton sophomore,  was  examining  the 
set  she  is  designing  for  Simon's 
"Waiting  Room"  while  Simon  and 
Hugh  Smyser  '65,  stage  manager, 
were  arranging  the  lights.  "It's  a 
one-room  flat  in  the  West  80's." 
she  explained.  "The  building  was 
once  a  nice,  five-floor  brown 
stone,  but  it's  been  neglected,  and 
eventually  subdivided.  The  apart- 
ment is  dirty,  dank,  rundown,  and 
cheap."  Miss  Donald  said  that  the 
dominant  color  will  be  "a  careful 
mixture  of  red.  yellow,  and  grey". 
During  NRT.  Miss  Donald  Is  work- 
ing in  a  set-designer's  studio  and 
living  In  a  one-room  flat  In  the 
West  80's.

A  Word  On  Behalf  Of  Our  Artists 

Since  war  news  from  the  Angevine  front  has  been  rather 
slack  of  hite,  now  seems  a  good  time  to  speak  a  word  in  behalf 
of  an  almost  neglected  and  often  maligned  aspect  of  Everyone's 
Favorite  College:  creative  activities. 

Williams  promotes  a  host  of  these— the  Theatre,  the  Red 
Balloon,  tlie  Purple  Cow,  The  Gul,  the  music  and  art  extrava- 
ganzas—to which  many  people  devote  much  labor  and  much 
thought. 

But   there  is  something   missing:   constructive  appreciation. 

Take  the  theatre.  The  members  of  Cap  and  Bells  stage  pro- 
ductions like  the  upcoming  Threepenni/  Opera,  not  for  vocational 
training,  but  for  the  satisfaction  and  the  fun  of  it.  But  it  takes 
a  pile  of  work  to  put  on  such  production,  and  an  equal  amount  of 
guts  to  act  in  it.  In  the  past,  these  fellows  have  gained  scant 
reward  for  llicir  time  but  snide  comments  about  their  ineptitude 
from  large  numbers  of  students,  and  surprisingly  enough  from 
some  faculty. 

While  we  don't  plea  for  soft  words  for  Cap  and  Bells,  we 
do  think  those  who  criticize— almost  invariably  those  who  don't 
participate  in  any  campus  organization— should  bold  their  tongues 
until  they  realize  the  problems  such  an  organization  goes  through. 
The  petulant  undergraduate  tendency  toward  intolerant  pseudo- 
iiitelleetualisin  wears  thin  after  a  while. 

Men  like  these  who  work  and  participate  in  some  creative 
activity  are  a  valuable  asset  to  the  college.  Tlie  New  Era  will 
swiftly  become  the  Pasising  Era  if  all  Williams  produces  are 
cynical,  pseudo-sophisticated,  and  intolerant  "spectators"  who 
have  not  the  raw  guts  to  dirty  their  hands  in  thankless  labor  that 
the  Tlieatre  and  tnose  other  organizations  epitomize. 

Until  the  college  decides  the  place  of  such  creativity,  we  will 
continue  to  float  mistily  along.  But  until  then.

Three  Air  Views 
On  Labor  Vnions 
For  D  Phi  Panel 

"The  Bole  of  Labor  Unions  in  the 
Economy"  was  di-scussed  by  two 
Industrialists  and  a  labor  lawyer 
in  symposium  last  Friday  night. 
Spon,sored  by  Delta  Phi  Upsilon, 
the  Griffin  Hall  meeting  was  mod 
erated  by  Frederick  O'Brien,  As 
sistaiU  Professor  of  Economics. 

First  of  the  participants  to 
speak  was  Henry  D.  Sharpe,  pres- 
ident of  Brown  and  Sharpe  Mfg 
Co.  of  Providence,  R.  I.  Sharpe.  a 
Brown  graduate,  prefaced  by 
pointing  out  the  enormity  of  the 
topic  and  compared  his  task  to 
"picking  up  a  jellyfish  with  ice 
tongs."  It  is  impossible,  he  said, 
to  contemplate  our  society  witli 
out  "some  form  of  employee  or- 
ganization." 

While  "not  all  effects  of  unions 
have  been  bad,"  Sharpe  felt  that 
the  worker  sacrificed  pride  of 
workmanship  for  job  security  from 
the  "capriciousness  of  manage 
ment"  in  the  "olden  days."  This 
security  does  not  include  a  sense 
of  fulfillment,  of  "having  contri 
buted  joyfully  in  excess  of  what 
is  strictly  mine."  He  felt  that  the 
local  union,  being  closest  to  the 
situation,  was  most  responsible  in 
its  attitude. 

Asher  W.  Schwartz  '32,  partner 
in  the  law  firm  of  O'Donnell  and 
Schwartz,  pointed  out  that  unions 
raise  wages  through  negotiations 
as  well  as  strikes,  though  the  lat 
ter  has  costly  side  effects.  Unions 
contribute  to  the  economy  by  in- 
vestment of  pension  funds  and  by 
maintaining  wage  levels  in  times 
of  depression.  This  forces  man- 
agement to  distribute  capital  in 
those  channels  that  "serve  the  ec- 
onomy best  when  the  economy 
needs  to  be  served  in  that  man- 
ner." 

Schwartz  also  felt  that  collec- 
tive bargaininE  is  a  democratic 
process,  and  a  right  that  is  equiv- 
alent to  those  embodied  in  the 
Bill  of  Rights.  This  metliod  must 
be  used  even  when  it  creates  an 
economic  Iwrdship  on  the  popu- 
lace. Besides,  he  pointed  out,  there 
is  no  arithmetical  way  of  reaching 
a  "proper  level  of  labor  costs," 
while  the  bargaining  table  utilizes 
the  philosophy  of  checks  and  bal- 
ances. 

Answering  Sharpe's  argument 
on  security  and  sense  of  fulfill- 
ment, Schwartz  stated  that  man- 
agement itself  doesn't  expect  any- 
thing beyond  its  emphasis  on  mass 
production  and  routine  with  a 
mechanical  basis.  In  some  indus- 
tries, notably  the  garment  and 
transportation  industries,  unions 
have  created  a  stability  that 
otherwise  would  have  been  impos- 
sible to  achieve.  Without  the  lead- 
ership, both  in  organized  and  un- 
organized situations,  provided  by 
union  contracts,  the  wage  problem 
could  easily  lead  to  chaos  and  be- 
yond. 

The  last  speaker  was  Robert  W. 
Stoddard,  president  of  Wyman- 
Gorman  Corp.  of  Worcester  and  a 
Yale  graduate.  Ti-acing  the  prob- 
lem from  the  origins  of  unionism, 
he  contended  that  bad  elements 
shift  from  one  group  to  another 
as  the  easp  of  shoddy  dishonesty 
shifts.  Saying  that  he  was  "not 
proud  of  the  record  of  business 
fifty  to  seventy-five  years  ago," 
Stoddard  said  that  the  shoe  is 
now  on  the  other  foot.  Because  it 
is  human  nature  to  seek  power,  it 
is  government's  purpose  to  prevent 
more  power  in  one  group  than  in 
another.  He  was  opposed  to  legis- 
lation that  grants  one  party  spec- 
ial exceptions,  as  "on  these  mat- 
ters balance  is  needed." 

The  original  philosophy  of  labor 
unions,  employees  negotiating  di- 
rectly with  the  employer,  has  been 
lost  sight  of  and  replaced  by  the 
large  national  union.  Thus,  "Lab- 
or has  become  big  business," 
marked  by  power  struggles  be- 
tween leaders  with  little  regard  lor 
the  welfare  of  the  locals. 

Stoddard  advocated  a  return  to 
the  small  union,  pointing  out  that 
there  are  thousands  of  them  now 
in  existence;  the  large  unions  are 
the  ones  which  affect  the  econ- 
omy, losing  sight  of  the  original 
problems.  Stoddard's  company  has 
been  called  the  "last  bastion  of 
unorganized  companies  and  anti- 
union paternalism"  by  a  labor 
Journal.

"Where  Hospitality 
is  a  Reality" 


Superdorms  And  Institutionalization 


hti  Prescott  Bloom 

The  pitch  made  by  the  iidministration  in  it.s 
recent  recruiting  trip  last  Wednesday  was  the 
same  old  scattering  of  generalities  built  around 
the  theme  that  somehow  the  college  is  going 
to  he  a  better  place. 

it  seems  that  rather  than  explaining  exactly  the 
how,  what,  and  when  of  the  entire  cliaiigc  (in- 
cluding admissions  policy,  ciirrieuliiin,  and  ]iliy- 
sical  lacilities),  the  administration  seems  to  be 
Iiiaying  a  waiting  game  with  the  undergraduates 
and  altimni.  There  seems  to  he  a  certain  amount 
ol  dishonesty  in  throwing  out  such  .scraps  as 
•iliii'r  student  responsihility  in  organizing  the 
living-dining  complex  in  the  sophomore  rnuul, 
while  at  the  same  time  giving  the  stiidents  two 
dormitories  totalling  150  stnd(-nts  within  which 
to  hiiild  a  cohesive  unit. 

This  brings  us  to  the  moot  point  of  exactly 
what  these  new  units  should  be.  It  is  rather 
shocking  that  not  once  has  the  administration 
indicated  in  anything  but  very  general  terms 
its  vision  of  the  "new  Williams."  Although  it  was 
indicated  that  this  new  system  would  be  unif|ne- 
Iv  purjile— based  around  the  idea  that  small 
group  living  is  best  for  Williams,  the  projoosed 
unit  seems  to  be  the  exact  opposite. 

On  tlie  one  hand  the  complex  is  well  over 
the  desirable  50-60  students,  and  on  the  otlier 
it  is  atomized  into  entries.  Thus,  achially  the 
complex  is  just  two  super  dorms.  The  cafeteria- 
style  dining  facilities  are  a  little  too  similar  to 
the  Baxter  Hall  dining  rooins.  A  spokesman  for 
the  administration  said  that  the  proposed  din- 


REALTY  MOTELS,  INC.      1 
H.  M.  ANHOLT,  '(>*■■  ;^j^Mg( 


ing  unit  for  the  complex  is  "more  efficient."  The 
way  the  complex  is  set  up  would  have  little 
hearing  on  the  unity  or  meaning  of  a  social  unit. 
D.  Cardner  said  that  he  saw  "a  different  kind  of 
unity"  within  the  complex,  although  he  couldn't 
expand  on  exactly  what  it  would  be.  He  added 
that  he  expected  a  rather  "rough  transition." 
How  right  he  is!!! 

It  is  understandable  tliat  (,'lii  Psi  and  KA, 
who  this  Fall  were  the  first  to  indicate  a  spirit 
of  cooperation  arc  now  xcrv  strongly  members  ol 
the  "wait  and  see"  group.  The  administration 
deliberates  the  future  widi  a  certain  tvpe  ol 
mystery  that  frustrates  attempts  at  reaching  an- 
swers to  basic  ()uestions;  at  the  same  time  its 
first  residential  house,  which  should  he  made  as 
attractive  as  possible,  smacks  of  institutionali- 
zation. 

Is  the  administration  taking  into  considera- 
tion the  reports  of  the  Undergraduate  Standing 
Committees?  What  is  their  idea  of  small  group 
living?  How  does  this  tie  in  with  the  other  pro- 
posed changes  in  curriculum,  and  admissions 
policy?  How  much  responsibility  will  the  stu- 
dents be  given  in  regulating  their  activities? 
None  of  these  questions  has  been  really  an- 
swered. 

Operating  on  the  assumption  that  actions 
speak  louder  than  words,  one  can  only  conclude 
that  the  ti-end  is  more  toward  institutionaliza- 
tion of  individuals  rather  than  integration  of 
groups.  Either  President  Sawyer  caimot  get  the 
administration's  message  across,  or  strong  un- 
dergraduate opp(5sition  is  justified.  Neither  of 
which  speaks  well  for  the  administration.

Williams  Image  as  contemplated 
from  behind  the  Iouk  pine  counter. 
Comparing  Old  Williams  with  the 
New  Era.  both  agreed  that  "the 
new  is  best."  Saying  that  the 
world  is  always  changing,  the 
.snack  bar  .sages  .said  that  It  Is 
"wonderful". 

Comments  on  (Ulentele 

Neither  thought  that  there  is  a 
difference  in  personalities  be- 
tween frat  rats  and  N.A.'s.  Vivian 
stated  that  beards  "don't  do  a 
thing  for  them,  while  Zelda  admit- 
ted to  a  fa.scination,  wondering 
"how  do  they  keep  them  clean?" 

The  new  Williams  man  is  "the 
height  of  politeneiis"  while  at  the 
snack  bar.  the  commentators  add- 
ing that  "that's  no  exaggeration." 
though  he  who  enters  their  do- 
main fifteen  or  twenty  minutes 
before  midnight  Is  not  strongly 
appreciated.  This  is  no  deep  gripe: 
"You  never  see  us  not  serve  them, 
do  you?" 

JFK  and  ZS 

Politically,  though  both  are  Re-

much.  "How  can  you  not  like 
him?"  Reluctant  at  first,  both 
finally  revealed  their  last  names.

Unofficial    Spring    Weekend    Offers    Release 

Purple  Key  Kites  Planned:  Houseparties,   Sports,   AMI 


Amid  the  barren  .snowbunks  and 
empty  beer  cans  that  are  winter 
in  Williamstown,  early  March 
brings  the  enervated  Williams 
man  his  last  real  chance  to  fill 
the  Jug,  restore  his  faith  in  the 
fair  sex,  and  lift  for  a  lime  the 
grim  gray  walls  that  bound  his 
monastic  little  mountain  world. 
With  Winter  Carnival  no  more 
than  a  memory,  and  spring-lilce 
weather  less  than  a  prayer,  the 
institution  known  as  "Purple  Key 
Weekend"  offers  parties,  athletic 
contests  and  musical  comedy  to  a 
Happy  Purple  Valley  long  since 
happy,  and  never  very  purple. 

Students'  Responsibility 

These  rites  of  "spring,"  were 
formerly  officially  recognized  as 
Spring  Houseparly  Weekend,  taut 
in  recent  years  liavc  been  rele- 
gated toy  the  Administration  to  the 
field  of  "student  responsibility," 
they  will  therefore  include  no  all- 


college  danoc  or  other  function, 
nor  will  they  involve  cancellation 
of  Saturday  classes,  as  in  years 
past. 

However,  kegs,  bands,  and  warm 
receptions  for  dates  will  not  be 
lacking,  due  to  the  enterprise  of 
fraternity  social  chairmen,  and  to 
prccociousness  of  several 
freshmen,  who  rumor  hatli  it  are 
organizing  an  encore  of  their 
Winter  Carnival  orgy  at  the  Wil- 
liamstown Lodge. 

Tlie  athletic  side  of  Purple  Key 
Weekend  -  the  occasion,  tradi- 
tionally, the  last  athletic  events 
until  after  Spring  Vacation  -  will 
feature  contests  with  Amherst  in 
basketball,  hockey  and  swimming, 
l>oth  varsity  and  freshman,  on 
Saturday  afternoon  and  evening. 

"Threepenny"  at  AMT 

In  addition,  the  A.M.T.  will  pre- 
sent   its    first    full-scale    produc- 


tion of  1963,  "The  Threepenny  Op- 
era," starring  Bill  Prosser  and 
Betty  Aberlln.  Tliis  Bertoldt 
Brecht-Kurt  Weill  musical  satire 
is  well-suited  to  the  mood  of  a 
Williams  Spring  Carnival  Week- 
end; despite  underlying  socio-pol- 
itical implications,  its  treatment 
of  assorted  forms  of  depravity  is 
comic  and  unashamed.  In  many 
ways  a  parody  of  the  musical 
comedy  form  itself,  its  array  of 
beggars  and  whores,  rakish  gang- 
sters and  inept  officials,  to  say 
nothing  of  its  long  history  of  of- 
ficial censorship  and  public  de- 
mand, promise  to  insure  it  suc- 
cess in  a  community  similarly  de- 
praved, though  somewhat  more 
"Ivy  League."  "Threepenny"  will 
open  Friday  night,  with  addition- 
al performances  on  March  2,  7,  8 
and  9. 

Purple  Key,  ort  Spring  Weekend 
has  traditionally  been  more,  in 
Williamstown's  geologic  jail,  than 


Just  another  college  party  week- 
end. Coming  as  it  does  in  the 
dead  of  winter,  it  signals  a  final 
opportunity  for  indulgence  in  the 
carpe  diem  before  the  fast-ap- 
proaching wave  of  papers,  hour 
tests  and  the  like  descends.  It 
comes,  too,  at  the  end  of  a  month 
Imposing  rigors  which  could  well 
have  appalled  the  Spartans.  With 
the  new  semester  just  under  way; 
with  no  organized  social  functions 
since  Winter  Carnival;  with  little 
athletic  activity  and  less  theatre, 
there  is  not  much  to  keep  a  man 


in  Williamstown.  With  the  North 
Wind  howling  and  the  eternal  bliz- 
zard undying,  however,  with  Benn- 
Ington  In  her  third  month  of  dis- 
tant, pi-otracted  laJbor,  there  ia  less 
chance  to  escape. 

But  come  Purple  Key.  the  keg 
is  tapped,  the  libido  released, 
and  desolation,  frustration,  and 
self-abnegation  are  forgotten.  The 
Purple  Valley  is  no  longer  frigid; 
Williams  College  once  again  ful- 
fills its  founder's  vision  of  a  "free 
school  in  Williamstown,"

Cards  Top    Eph  Hoopsters; 
Foster  Pours  26  In  Loss 


By  Dick  Dubow 

Wesleyan  moved  into  the  driv- 
er's seat  along  side  Williams  in 
the  battle  for  tlie  "Little  Tliree" 
championship  Saturday  night,  as 
the  Cardinals  pulled  out  a  thrill- 
ing 62-57  come-from-behind  win 
over  the  Ephs.  Both  teams  boast 
Identical  2-1  records  with  one 
game  remaining  against  Amherst, 

Wesleyan  Rallies 

A  howling  crowd  of  2000  at  Mid- 
dletown  saw  the  Purple  falter  in 
the  waning  minutes  of  the  con- 
test. Wesleyan  overcame  a  48-43 
Williams  lead  to  erase  memories 
of  the  humiliating  81-55  setback 
suffered  earlier   in   the    season. 

With  only  three  minutes  re 
maining  in  the  game  the  l'',phmen 
were  still  in  contention,  as  co- 
captain  Dan  Voorhccs'  driving 
lay-up  evened  the  score  at  55-55. 
Wesleyan's  Russ  Rlchey,  whose 
hot  hands  sparked  the  Cardinals 
during  the  second  half,  tossed  in  a 
long  one-hander.  Steve  Hum- 
phrey then  added  three  straight 
foul  shots  and  Jim  Norton  follow- 
ed with  a  pair  to  ice  the  big  win 
foi-  the  Cards. 

The  foul  line  again  played  its 
primary  role  in  the  game.  Al- 
tliough  Williams  edged  Wesleyan 
from  the  floor,  the  Cardinals  drop- 
ped in  20  from  the  free  throw  line 
to  Williams'  11  to  account  for  the 
final  margin  of  victory. 

The  Ephs  managed  to  remain 
on    top   throughout   most   of    the 


contest.  At  one  point  in  tlic  first 
half  they  erected  a  solid  28-16 
lead,  however,  Wesleyan  continued 
to  hammer  away  on  long  outside 
sets  by  Richey  and  Brands  to 
finally  cut  the  gap  32-27  at  the 
half. 

Al  Poster  thrilled  the  capacity 
crowd  with  a  fine  exhibition  of 
sharp  shooting.  In  the  first  ten 
minutes  of  the  second  half  the  6' 
6"  junior  netted  14  of  Williams' 
16  points  to  post  a  46-43  lead. 
He  matched  Wesleyan  basket  for 
basket  on  a  wide  array  of  short 
jump  shots  and  tap-ins  from  un- 
derneath. 

Williams  Attack  Falters 

For  no  explainable  reason  tlie 
Purple  attack  completely  fell  a- 
part  in  the  closing  minutes  of  the 
game.  Tiie  Cardinals  boat  Wil- 
liams at  their  own  game,  com- 
pletely dominating  play  under  the 
boards  for  the  final  ten  minutes. 
After  Brands  fouled  out,  Richey 
and  Winky  Davenport  took  over 
the  scoring  load  for  tlie  Wesmen. 

They  liit  on  .several  long  out- 
side bombs  against  the  stubborn 
Williams  zone.  With  six  minutes 
left  Davenport  scored  two  quickies 
for  a  53-49  margin.  Wilhams  bat- 
tled back,  but  tire  clutch  foul 
shooting  displayed  by  Wesleyan 
was  too  much  for  the  Ephs. 

Foster  finished  the  evening  a.s 
tlie  game's  leading  scorer  with  26 
points,  while  Roger  Williams  add- 
ed 12,  Richey  paced  Wesleyan  with 


19  points, 

14  in

Squash 

Pricking  the  pretensions  of  a 
mediocre  but  overweening  Jeff 
contingent,  the  freshman  squash 
team  smashed  the  Lordlings  9-0 
Saturday  on  the  losers'  courts. 

Despite  the  lopsided  match 
score,  the  Ephlets  did  not  have 
their  opponents  completely  out- 
clas.sed;  Eph  determination  to  e- 
rase  the  cavalierly  dealt  defeat  of 
last  year's  team,  the  racqueteers 
triumphed  in  every  contest. 

Two  Sweeps 

In  only  two  matches,  however 
did  the  frosh  sweep  to  victory  in 
straight  games;  Bill  Ewen  and  Jeff 
Millington  in  the  second  and  fifth 
spots  respectively  encountered  lit- 
tle difficulty  in  summarily  dis- 
patching their  opponents.  Captain 
Peter  Allen,  third  man  Bob  Mit- 
chell, fourth  man  Stu  Leber,  sixth 
man  Paul  Hirshman,  .seventh  man 
Bob  Rubin  and  John  Jacobs  in 
the  last  slot  all  brought  their  op- 
ponents down  in  four  while  Char- 
ley Neumann,  playing  eighth 
fought  his  Jeff  counterpart  to  the 
brink  m  a  five  game  match. 

The  successful  conclusion  of  the 
Ephlets  season  brings  their  rec- 
ord to  4-3  with  victories  over 
Choate,  Dartmouth,  Wesleyan,  and 
Amherst  and  losses  to  the  highly 
touted  racquet  men  from  Deer- 
field,  Yale,  and  Harvard.

leaving  the  frosh  with  a  9-2  rec- 
ord. 

Wesleyan  got  off  to  a  strong 
start  with  Jim  Werle  leading  the 
scoring  attack.  At  the  half-time 
break  they  led  34-28. 

In  the  second  half,  with  big 
Kevin  Sheehan  guarding  Werle, 
Williams  came  to  within  a  basket 
of  their  opponents.  It  looked  for 
a  moment  as  if  the  Ephlets  might 
pull  one  of  their  patented  last 
minute  victories  but  Wesleyan 
gradually  widened  the  gap  and 
went  on   to  win   70-57. 

Sheehan  and  Jim  Kramer  led 
the  scoring  for  Williams  with  19 
and  16  points  respectively.  Werle. 
who  had  previously  scored  forty 
in  losing  to  Williams,  was  again 
high  point  man,  this  lime  with 
only  30  points. 
Hockey 

The  freshman  hockey  team  not- 
ched its  fourth  victory  of  the  sea- 
son Saturday,  toppling  the  Kent

ors with  Bill  Roe,  connected  for 
the  first  of  his  two  goals  on  an 
assist  from  Roe,  at  5:54  of  the 
first  period.  Eph  puck  control  in 
the  opening  canto  set  tlie  pattern 
for  the  remainder  of  the  contest 
during  which  Kent  seldom  con- 
trolled the  disk  beyond  their  own 
blue  line. 

After  Kent's  Fuglestad  evened 
the  card  at  the  opening  of  the 
second  period,  Williams  moved  in- 
to Kent  territory  to  stay.  While 
forcing  Kent  goalie  Swift  to  twen- 
ty saves,  the  Ephs  were  only  able 
to  manage  one  goal,  another  by 
Phaelzer  at  16:36,  Two  goals  by 
Roe  and  one  by  Bob  Sonderman 
completed  Eph  scoring  in  the  final 
period, 

Frosh   Matmen  Lose 

The  Williams  yearling  grapplers 
dropped  their  first  Little  Three 
contest  to  a  strong  Wesleyan  con- 
tingent, 23-10,  last  Saturday,  giv- 
ing the  Cardinals  the  title. 

The  best  bout  of  the  day  was  a 
close-matched  contest  between 
Dave  Kollender  and  Wesleyan's 
Johnson  at  147,  ending  in  a  2-2 
tie.  Heavyweight  Marty  McLean 
put  on  his  usual  stellar  perform- 
ance in  handling  another  oppon- 
ent outweighing  him  by  40  pounds, 
winning  by  a  2-1  edge, 

Wesleyan  forfeited  the  123- 
pound  bout,  giving  the  Ephmen 
their  only  other  points  for  the  day.

Bowdoin  Saturday  by  a  7-3  score. 
In  losing,  the  visiting  Polar  Bears

Muirmen  Take  Fifth; 
Beat  Wesleyan  62-33 


By    Gary    E.  MartlnelU 

Williams  varsity  swimming  team 
paddled  to  their  fourth  consecu- 
tive victory  and  the  first  leg  to 
another  "Little  Three"  title  down- 
ing Wesleyan  62-33  Saturday  at 
Middletown.  A  record-setting  per- 
formance in  the  400  yard  medley 
relay  highlighted  the  triumph  over 
one  of  the  strongest  Cardinal 
teams  in  recent  years. 

In  the  opening  event,  Coach  Bob 
Muir  went  with  his  "big  guns"  to 
crack  the  Williams  College  record 
(of  3:56.0  set  last  week  at  UConn), 
and  the  Wesleyan  Pool  record 
with  a  time  of  3:52.4  for  the  med- 
ley. Backstroker  Jerry  Bond, 
breaststroker  John  Wester,  butter- 
fly ace  Carroll  Connard,  and  free- 
styler  Dave  Larry  combined  for 
the  record  which  is  just  .7  seconds 
off  of  the  New  England  mark  set 
by  Bowdoin  at  the  Lasell  Pool  on 


Eph   Squashmen  Take 
Little  Three  Laurels 

The  Eph  racquetmen  squashed  Amherst's  aspirations  for  a 
third  consecutive  Little  Three  championship  last  Saturday  with 
an  enthusiastically  well-played  match  at  Amherst  last  Saturday. 
Not  even  a  hostile  gallery  on  foreign  courts  could  stifle  the  fired- 
up  Ephs,  who  came  through  with  some  dominating  play  and  an 
8-1  victory,  to  carry  home  the  laurels. 

Williams    allowed    the    outclassed   Jeffs    only    seven    games 

throughout   the   match,    three   of

Tom  Poor,  Amherst's  best,  allow- 
ed Mike  Annison  only  14  points 
in  their  three-game  match. 

Five  Win  3-Game  Matches 

That  was  the  only  blot  on  an 
otherwise  perfect  record.  Captain 
George  Kilborn  finished  the 
match  season  with  a  three-game 
whitewash  of  Amherst's  Erickson. 
Other  3-0  winners  for  the  Ephs 
were  seniors  Brooks  Goddard  and 
Skip  Buck,  and  juniors  Chuck  El- 
liott and  Frank  Thayer. 

The  only  close  match  of  the  day 
was  at  No.  8.  George  Boltres  fin-

Levine  of  Amherst. 

Coach  Chaffee,  elated  by  the 
team's  fine  performance,  attribu-

Off  the  strength  of  this  match, 
he  thinks  the  prospects  for  next 
year  are  quite  good. 

All  that  remains  for  the  squash 
team  is  the  Nationals,  which  will 
be  held  March  1-3.

Brown  Wins 

Sophomore  Put  Brown  turned  in 
his  best  effort  of  the  season  to 
win  the  200  yard  backstroke  in 
2:17.2.  Brown  warded  off  a  power- 
ful Cardinal  challenge  to  win  by 
tenths  of  a  second. 

Workhorse  Pete  Weber  did  liis

officially  timed  for  the  first  100

Crown  From  Purple 
Wesleyan  Wins  Mat 

Wesleyan's  varsity  matmen  took 
undisputed  possession  of  the  Lit- 
tle Three  wrestling  crown  last  Sat- 
urday with  a  convincing  27-7  vic- 
tory over  the  Eph  grapplers.  De- 
fending champ  Williams  and  Am- 
herst will  square  off  on  the  Jeff 
mats  this  weekend  to  battle  It  out 
for  runner-up. 

Captain  Jim  Bieber  at  130  was 
the  only  Ephman  to  notch  a  win, 
dominating  Owens  5-0  to  extend 
his  season  record  to  4-1-2.  Junior 
standout  John  Wlnfleld  maintain- 
ed an  identical  record  with  a  4-4 
tie  with  Myers  at  137. 

John  Kifner,  wrestling  his  best 
match  of  the  season  at  123,  had 
achieved  a  l-l  tie  with  Wesman 
Reed,  so  the  team  score  now  stood 
7-4  In  Williams'  favor.  Last  year's 
137-pound  freshman  New  England 
champ,  Beers,  was  unable  to  pin 
a  game  Pete  Friedman  at  147,  ty- 
ing the  match  score  at  7-7. 

Four  straight  seoond-perlod  pins 
by  the  Cardinals'  powerful  upper 
weights  then  put  the  match  on

Frosh  Outswim 
Wesleyan,  54-41 

The  freshman  swimming  team 
was  forced  to  the  wire  in  the  final 
relay  before  toppling  the  Wesley- 
an frosh  54-41,  Saturday.  Featur- 
ing three  record  breaking  per- 
formances, the  Ephlets  revealed  a 
plethora  of  varsity  potential. 

After  his  mates  bowed  in  the 
opening  medley  relay,  co-captain 
Jim  Rider  began  an  assault  on 
the  record  board  covering  the  200 
yard  freestyle  route  in  1:58.7.  Dis- 
tance ace  Rider  also  copped  the 
400  yard  freestyle. 

The  three-year-old  freshman 
butterfly  mark  of  senior  Dave 
Larry  finally  fell  before  dolphin 
Tony  Ryan.  Ryan's  57.4  topped 
Larry's  mark  by  one  tenth  of  a 
second. 

Ancient  Mark  Topped 

The  oldest  frosh  record  on  the 
books  was  broken  by  backstroker 
Al  Klrkland.  Kirkland,  covered 
100' yards  of  watching  the  ceiling 
in  1:02.5  to  erase  the  mark  set  by 
H.  Wineman  in  1947. 

Despite  Eph  wins  by  Lew  Sears 
In  the  breaststroke,  and  Ken  Kurtz 
in  the  50  yard  sprint,  William.s 
was  forced  to  the  last  relay  which 
they  won  by  inches  to  top  one  of 
the  toughest  swimming  contin- 
gents to  ever  emerge  from  Middle- 
town.

Jay  Goldsmith,  last  week's  lone

in  3:10  in  the  137-pound  class. 
The  score  thus  stood  only  10-7  in 
favor  of  the  Wesmen  after  four 
bouts.  A  decisive  8-1  decision  by 
Oullck  over  Gil  Watson  at  157  and

Stoddard  Reveals 
Campus  Planning 

Presentations  of  the  Williams  of 
the  Future  are  a  common  occur- 
rence of  late.  One  of  the  more 
interesting  and  witty  of  these  rep- 
etitions of  a  certain  known  body 
of  information  was  tjiven  by  Pro- 
fessor of  Art,  Whitney  S.  Stoddard 
at  a  Student  Union  luncheon  on 
Wednesday. 

While  not  revealing  any  new 
plans,  Stoddard  explained  the  pre- 
.sent  place  of  campus  planning; 
and  its  relation  to  the  new  social 
system  as  well  as  other  future  de- 
velopments. He  stated  that  his 
role  on  the  Standing  Committee 
was  to  deal  with  issues  involving 
the  physical  plant. 

Unit  Variations 

Stoddard  told  his  audience  that 
future  units  could  consist  of  three 
types  of  combinations  of  build- 
ings. The  first,  including  as  the 
new  dorm,  involve  present  dorm- 
itories combined  with  new  con- 
struction. The  .second  consists  of 
combinations  of  present  fraternity 
houses  and  of  dormitories  that 
can  be  reconverted  such  as  Berk- 
shire. 

A  third  alternative  involves 
building  of  completely  new  build- 
ings on  such  sites  as  the  Grey- 
lock  corner.  Stoddard  said  that  the 
experience  with  the  two  houses 
next  year  would  help  to  determine 
the  nature  of  such  facilities. 

All  such  planning,  Stoddard  not- 
ed, was  being  done  in  cooperation 
with  the  firm  of  Architect's  Col- 
laborative which  has  been  involv- 
ed in  campus  planning  at  Bran- 
dies and  Andover.  The  problem 
at  Williams  is  creating  any  sort 
of  order  out  of  a  campus  whose 
present  central  feature  is  "delight- 
ful chaos".  The  central  problem 
consists  In  preserving  as  much  of 
the  disorder  as  can  fit  into  the 
needs  of  the  coming  decade.

Kershaw,  Foster  To  Head  New  SC; 
Officers  Offer  '  Loyalty  To  College ' 


Tuesday  night  the  new  Social 
Council  elected  juniors  Dave  Ker- 
shaw and  John  Poster  to  serve  as 
their  President  and  Secretary- 
Trea.surer.  Kershaw  will  fill  out

Amid  a  rcsurging  clamor  over 
social  system  and  related  campus 
issues,  the  Social  Council  is  as- 
suming immediately  a  pro-frater-

^'^ho  Really  Owns  Spring  Street? 


Spring  Street  is  changing  again 
Ron's  and  the  Square  Deal  are 
coming  down.  Buildings  and 
Grounds  are  moving  out,  and  the 
old  Avery  house,  between  Clark's 
and  the  bank,  is  gaining  a  new 
set  of  tenants.  Since  the  1840's 
Spring  Street  has  been  the  mar- 
ketplace of  the  "Village  Beautiful. 
But  who  owns  The  Street? 

A  little  research  reveals  that 
this  bastion  of  free  enterprise  is 
controlled,  not  by  the  King  dynas- 
ty, nor  even  by  the  legendary 
LOuie  Rudnick,  but  by  that  awe- 
some collective  entity,  the  Presi- 
dent and  Trustees  of  Williams 
College. 

Among  the  College's  properties 
are  Ron's  Barber  Shop,  the  Square 
Deal  Package  Store,  and  overhead 
apartments.  This  block  will  soon 
be  removed.  The  adjoining  struc- 
ture, the  Williams  News  Room 
and  Richard  Gold's  jewelry  store, 
also  owned  by  the  College,  will 
remain.  The  aforementioned  en- 
tity also  owns  the  Adams  Block, 
containing  McClelland's,  Hart's 
Drug  Store,  Salvatore's,  and  the 
Western  Union. 

Farther  down  the  street  the  col-

Warner  Discusses  Seferis   Poetry; 
Emphasizes  Heritage  And  Suffering 


At  his  Wednesday  evening  lec- 
ture in  Jesup  Hall,  British  author 
Rex  Warner  cited  consciousness  of 
Greek  historical  tradition  and  a- 
wareness  of  twentieth  century  soc- 
ial strife  as  the  two  major  fac- 
tors influencing  George  Seferis, 
contemporary  Greek  poet. 

Hailed  by  the  New  York  Times 
as  the  "fullest  in  content,  the 
most  sensitive  in  handling  of  all 
modern  Greek  poets,"  Seferis  was 
bom  January  29,  1900.  He  spent 
his  early  years  in  Smyrna  and 
near  the  shore.  Because  of  these 
early  associations,  much  of  his 
later  poetry  contains  references  to 
reeds,  harbors,  and  ships.  At  age 
14,  Seferis  moved  to  Athens,  later 
studied  in  Paris,  joined  the  Greek 
Diplomatic  Corps  and  served  ex- 
tensively in  the  Near  East  and 
finally  London,  before  his  recent 
retirement  from  public  life. 

Although  he  was  not  in  Greece 
during  the  Battle  of  Smyrna, 
which  signalled  the  end  of  Greek- 
Byzantine  culture  as  such,  and 
during  the  German  occupation, 
Seferis  felt  the  effect  of  these  up- 
heavals deeply.  Warner  emphasiz- 
ed that  although  Seferis  has  been 
compared  to  T.  S.  Ellott,  his  poe- 
try Is  the  result  of  a  "religious- 
historical  universal  view  of  life." 
His  strong  emphasis  of  the  his- 
torical results  from  a  conviction 
that  each  modern  Instance  of  mass 
suffering  and  social  strife  is  mere- 
ly a  repitition  of  what  has  al- 
ready happened  to  his  people  and 
his  kind. 

After  the  publication  of  Strophe 
in  1931,  in  which  he  exhibited  an 


liamstown  District  Court,  McMa- 
hon's  Chevrolet,  a  beauty  shop, 
and  the  now-vacated  offices  of 
Buildings  and  Grounds.  Across  the 
street  is  the  former  home  of  Pro- 
fessor Avery  of  the  Classics  De- 
partment: soon  the  Women's  Ex- 
change and  Ron's  will  move  Into 
the  building. 

Paced  by  this  monolithic  collec- 
tion of  real  estate,  Louie  Rudnick 
has  nonetheless  carved  out  a  mod- 
est empire  through  his  Spring 
Realty  Corporation,  owner  of 
Clark's  and  the  building  contain- 
ing the  Grim  Gym,  the  Williams 
Co-op,  St.  Pierre's,  and  Bemis'. 
In  addition,  George  Rudnick,  Inc. 
owns  the  dry  cleaning  plant  be- 
hind Salvatore's  and  leases  from 
the  college  the  brick  office  by  La- 
salle  Gym.  The  adjoining  Williams 
Book  Store  is  also  leased  from  the 
college. 

Not  to  be  outdone,  other  local 
merchants  have  quietly  concen- 
trated their  holdings.  The  most 
conspicuous  is  the  block  owned  by 
Clarence  G.  (Cal)  King,  who  still 
manages  his  theatre,  which  is 
flanked  by  his  sons'  package  store 
and  pizza  shop. 

Magnates     also     include:      the 


Walsh  clan,  which  owns  the  build- 
ing housing  their  store,  Wash- 
burne's,  and  the  bakery;  Joe 
Gleason,  the  druggist,  whose 
structure  also  holds  the  College 
Restaurant  and  assorted  offices: 
and  Ken  O'Neil,  who  owns  Ken's 
Market  and  the  apartments  over- 
head. 

While  it  has  been  predicted  that 
eventually  the  college  will  own 
The  Street  and  the  merchants  will 
move  away,  it  is  much  more  like- 
ly that  the  local  moguls,  with 
their  oft-demonstrated  wiles  and 
financial  skills,  are  here  to  stay. 


fraternities  on  the  Williams  cam- 
pus. Since  the  group  has  not  yet 
organized,  it  heralds  no  formulat- 
ed policy.  The  officers,  starting 
with  a  "clean  slate,"  intend  to 
increase  the  power  of  the  council. 

No  Flaes,  No  Tomatoes 

Kershaw  states  that  his  com- 
mittee will  work  against  imple- 
mentation of  the  new  residential 
system  next  year.  However,  he  em- 
phasizes a  perhaps  paradoxical 
position  of  being  both  pro-frater- 
nity and  pro-Williams.  While 
working  against  President  Sawyer, 
the  Social  Council  will  play  the 
part  of  a  "loyal  opposition;"  Ker- 
shaw intends  to  neither  wave  flags 
nor  brandish  tomatoes.  He  asserts 
a  "moderate,  realistic  position," 
with  objectives  limited  to  the  con- 
tinuance of  the  fraternity  system 
in  plausible  form  for  as  long  as 
possible. 

Kershaw,  '64,  is  the  president 
of  Beta  Theta  Pi  and  the  son  of 
Professor  Joseph  Kershaw  of  the 
college's  Economics  Department. 

Foster  '64,  is  the  president  of 
Chi  Psi.  He  is  also  the  president 
of  Purple  Key.

'Le  Treteau '  To  Play 


REX  WARNER 

Individual  style  somewhat  reminis- 
cent of  the  bardic  Greek  tradi- 
tion, Seferis  wrote  Mythistorema 
in  1945.  This  collection  composes 
what  Warner  calls  the  "historic 
sequence."  The  Briton  quoted  sev- 
eral poems,  among  which  were 
"Remember  the  Gods  Where  You 
Were  Slain"  and  "The  Lame  Or- 
estes." The  latter,  emphasized 
Warner,  exemplifies  Seferis'  pride 
and  agony  as  a  part  of  the  Greek- 
Byzantine  heritage.  Warner  went 
on  to  quote  the  second  part  of 
a  four  part  work  entitled 
"Thrush."  This  work  deals  with  a 
young  man  and  young  woman  who

Paris,"  a  French  dramatic  troupe 
which  has  appeared  in  Williams- 
town  for  several  seasons. 

There  will  be  two  performances 
at  the  Adams  Memorial  Theatre 
at  3:00  p.m.  and  8:30  p.m.  Tickets,

"ApoUon  de  Bellac,"  a  comedy 
which  concerns  itself  with  the 
need  for  Idealism  and  beauty 
in  the  relations  between  man  and 
woman;  and  "Orphee,"  Jean  Coc- 
teau's  celebrated  tragedy  dealing 
with  the  poet,  his  relation  to  the 
creative  process  and  with  death. 
Experienced  Players 
The  principal  actors  will  be: 
Bernard  'Verley,  who  has  been 
hailed  as  the  long-awaited  suc-

held  Tuesday  morning.  In  the  oth- 
er contest,  the  proposal  to  revoke 
the  present  government  setup  was 
defeated,  1491  to  1013.  Maynard 
Austin,  the  town  manager,  said 
that  the  majority  was  a  "vote  of 
confidence"  in  the  present  system.

Frosh  Playboy  Club 
To  Reunite  Saturday; 
Show  Purple  Passkey 

The  aged  Williamstown  Lodge 
will  again  be  taken  over  by  the 
class  of  '66  with  the  intent  of 
holding  a  dance  from  10:00  to 
2:00  on  Saturday,  March  2. 

In  spite  of  the  fact  that  this  is 
purportedly  Purple  Key  weekend, 
the  Purple  Key  Society  will  not 
hold  any  function  of  its  own.  Den- 
ny Van  Ness,  secretary  of  the  Pur- 
ple Key,  explained  that  there  were 
plans  for  a  concert  to  be  held  on 
A-iday  night,  but  the  college  pro- 
hibited the  move  on  the  grounds 
that  Saturday  is  not  a  college  hol- 
iday and  therefore  there  would  be 
no  college  functions  allowed. 

The  Purple  Key  will  not  spon- 
sor any  activities  on  Saturday 
night  due  to  fraternity  and  class 
revelry,  organized  or  otherwise. 

Bob  Snibbe,  who  is  organizing 
the  frosh  party,  says  that  It  will 
be  "the  greatest  yet:  you  name  It, 
Its  better."  In  fear  of  internation- 
al retaliation,  Snibble  plans  a  spec- 
ial gimmick,  a  fall-out  shelter, 
which  will  be  shown  at  the  party. 
Tickets  are  on  sale  at  $2  stag  or 
drag,  and  transportation  will  be 
provided. 


Of  Cabbages  And  Kings 

The  letter  printed  in  the  adjoining  column  from  Mr.  White  In- 
dicates admirable  concern  for  his  own  future  and,  perhaps,  for  the 
future  of  his  fellows  as  well.  But  the  misconceptions  and  superficial- 
ity exhibited  can  only  be  condoned  as  "freshmanic"  naivete.  The 
hope  that  something  will  be  done  to  clear  up  the  hopelessly  muddled 
housing  situation  is  fine,  but  the  suggestion  that  freshmen  be  al- 
lowed to  tour  the  houses  at  a  specified  time  is  really  not  the  answer. 

Any  sort  of  prearranged  tour  through  the  houses  would  be  noth- 
ing more  than  a  shortened  rushing  period  and,  as  anyone  who  has 
survived  rushing  well  knows,  the  whole  idea  is  a  Joke,  indeed  the 
cream  of  the  Jest.  Nowhere  on  this  campus  is  there  a  more  ridiculous 
institution  than  the  present  rushing  system.  The  houses,  conceding 
certain  unique  characteristics  to  each,  are  quite  similar;  if  you  seen 
one,  you  seen  'em  all.  If  "the  brothers  make  the  difference,"  as  we 
have  been  told,  then  rushing  is  hopeless  because  a  rushee  cannot 
meet,  let  alone  get  to  know,  even  a  small  percentage  of  the  members 
of  any  house  in  such  a  short  time. 

The  idea  that  any  tour,  or  even  a  series  of  tours,  could  show 
freshmen  "what  fraternity  life  is  really  like"  is  again  quite  naive, 
for  it  presupposes  that  fraternities  on  such  a  special  occasion  bear 
even  a  slight  resemblance  to  fraternities  at  any  other  time.  In  short, 
there  is  no  way  to  know  what  fraternity  life  is  really  like  unless  one 
lives  through  it;  indeed,  some  of  our  fraternity  friends  tells  us  that, 
after  three  years,  they  still  don't  quite  know  what  "the  fraternity 
experience"  is  like.  (Don't  misconstrue  this,  by  the  way,  as  any 
"since  we  can't  tell  you,  find  out  by  doing  it  yourself"  attitude).  By 
the  same  measure,  one  knows  even  less  what  life  will  be  like  in  the 
social  units,  so  it  seems  to  be  simply  a  matter  of  you  pays  your  money 
and   you   takes  your  choice. 

We  would  make  two  suggestions.  First,  ask  any  fraternity  man 
what  it  is  really  like  to  belong  to  a  fraternity.  You  might,  for  ex- 
ample, ask  any  D  U.  that  you  happen  to  encounter  in  the  snack  bar 
if  he  was  the  one  who  is  quoted  in  LOOK  as  saying:  "Having  ideas 
doesn't  count  —  except  against  you.  You  get  along  better  if  you 
don't  stir  things  up.  This  means  restricting  your  conversation  to  the 
broadest,  easiest  topics — like  booze  and  sex."  We  really  have  no 
comment  to  make  on  this  one. 

Second,  we  urge  a  freshman  revolt,  during  which  the  Class  of 
19  would,  completely  unannounced,  storm  the  houses  after  dinner 
to  see  what  fraternity  life  is  really  like.  This  action  might  be  met 
with  disfavor  in  some  quarters,  but  they  can't  get  you  all  for  dirty 
rushing. 

One  final  clarification:  your  statement  about  "the  unhappy  life 
of  the  non-affiliates"  is  perhaps  the  most  ridiculous  of  all.  If  you 
were  to  poll  the  upperclass  dining  room,  assuming,  of  course,  that 
they  would  lower  themselves  to  submit  to  such  a  poll,  we  doubt  that 
many  would  express  unhappiness.  In  fact,  even  with  the  Utopian 
vision  of  The  New  Williams,  most  of  them  plan  to  continue  next 
year   as  non-affiliates. 

President  Sawyer's  reply  to  Mr.  White's  request  points  up  one 
failing  in  the  whole  idea  of  The  New  Era  at  Williams,  or  whatever 
cliche  you  want  to  use  for  "next  year."  Regardless  of  whether  or  not 
one  agrees  with  President  Sawyer,  one  cannot  help  feeling  that  he  is 
passing  the  buck,  so  to  speak,  in  what  has  become  an  increasingly 
characteristic  gesture.  It  is  fine  for  a  man  in  such  a  harassed  posi- 
tion to  carefully  and  thoughtfully  consider  all  contradictory  opinions 
and  alternatives,  but  too  much  deliberation  creates  confusion,  par- 
ticularly when  the  decision  involves  so  many  people. 

During  his  last  two  speeches  and  in  various  other  meetings, 
President  Sawyer  has  consistantly  referred  questions  to  D.  Gardner, 
to  the  faculty  or  to  the  student  committees,  without  offering  his  own 
opinions.  In  mentioning  this,  we  recognize  the  difference  between  a 
personal  preference  and  a  statement  on  the  progress  of  the  commit- 
tes.  To  say,  as  the  President  often  does,  that  he  doesn't  really  know 
what  will  happen  is  quite  legitimate,  for  no  one  can  see  much  be 
yond  March  23  at  this  point;  but  to  avoid  stating  precisely  what  he 
would  like  to  happen  is  to  be  unnecessarily  vague.  In  the  last  issue  of 
THE  RECORD,  Prescott  Bloom  remarked  that  President  Sawyer's 
speeches  contain  nothing  but  "the  same  old  scattering  of  generalities 
built  around  the  theme  that  somehow  the  college  is  going  to  be  a 
better  place."  It  seems  virtually  impossible  to  get  a  straight  answer 
from  the  President  on  questions  of  any  importance,  and  there  is 
nothing  more  annoying  to  a  journalist  than  to  banter  about  with  a 
man  who  acts  incredibly  like  a  politician. 

The  reference  to  the  Trustee  decision  indicates  a  hesitant  at- 
titude, because  this  decision  was  made  more  than  a  decade  ago,  un- 
der wholly  different  circumstances  and  now  it  seems  irrelevant  and 
even  invalid;  the  situation  is  analagous  to  President  Kennedy's  in 
vocation  of  the  Monroe  Doctrine  during  the  Cuban  crisis.  President 
Sawyer  gave  the  right  answer,  it  seems  to  us,  but  for  the  wrong 
reasons. 

There  are  decisions  to  be  made  virtually  every  day,  particularly 
now  as  the  April  15  deadline  approaches.  There  is- neither  time  to 
form  a  committee  nor  to  consult  the  Trustees,  who  do  not  convene 
again  until  late  in  May.  The  President,  as  the  nominal  head  of  this 
institution,  should  take  the  initiative  to  at  least  inform  the  studen1>s 
of  what  the  future  may  be  like.  There  can  be  no  student  responsi- 
bility -without  student  knowledge:  so  says  today's  truism. 

The  most  important  question,  and  the  one  in  which  President 
Sawyer  is  inescapably  involved,  is  whether  the  New  Williams  will 
be  really  any  different  from  the  Old  Williams.  Does  the  abolition  of 
fraternities,  which,  despite  the  continuing  opposition,  we  accept  as  a 
foregone  conclusion,  presage  a  definite  change  in  the  school's  atti- 
tudes toward  the  educational  process?  Will  the  new  attitudes  be  re- 
flected in  the  curriculum,  in  the  admissions  policies  and  in  such 
institutions  as  the  cut  system  and  underclass  driving  permission? 
Fraternities  are  not  a  cause,  but  rather  a  result  of  many  factors, 
which  are  found  in  other  places,  but  which  contribute  to  a  student 
body  which  finds  fraternity  life  the  most  pleasant  existence.  Will 
there  be  numerous  intelligent  changes,  or  will  the  college  remain  In 
a  permanent  state  of  transition? 

The  students  simply  want  some  reassurance,  In  the  form  of  de- 
finite plans,  that  someone  knows  where  the  school  is  going,  that  there 
is  really  a  reality  underlying  the  myth  of  the  Williams  of  The 
Future.  At  this  point,  we  are  offered  platitudes  but  no  plans,  and 
with  less  than  three  months  until  we  are  due  to  strike  purposefully 
Into  the  Promised  Land,  we  are  sceptical.  As  it  is  now.  maybe  we'll 
get  thers  and,  then  again,  maybe  wa  won't.

Letter  To  The  Editor 

Freshman   Requests 
Opportunity  To  View 
Frats  Before  April  IS 

Dear  President  Sawyer: 

As  the  April  15  deadline  for 
Social  Unit  registration  di-aws 
closer,  an  increasing  number  of 
the  Class  of  '66  finds  themselves 
apprehensive  and  undecided  as  to 
whether  to  rush  next  fall  or  to  go 
into  the  Social  Unit.  As  matters 
are  now,  there  are  two  equally  un- 
desirable alternatives  open  to  this 
group:  to  register  for  a  Social 
Unit  without  knowing  anything  a- 
bout  fraternities  except  that  they 
are  all  bad  (The  Williams  Record, 
Alumni  Review,  The  Angevine  Re- 
port) or  that  they  are  all  good 
(The  Purple  Cow,  the  U.C.B.I.W. 
C);  the  other  alternative  is  to 
rush  and  perhaps  to  discover  too 
late  that  traiternity  life  is  not  the 
answer  and  be  forced  to  Join  the 
unhappy  plight  of  the  Non-Af- 
fiUates. 

Since  the  Class  of  '66  is  to  be 
the  last  class  to  rush,  cannot  some 
arrangement  be  made  whereby  it 
is  able  to  see  the  fraternities  and 
what  fraternity  living  is  really 
like,  prior  to  the  April  15  dead- 
line? Or  is  the  college,  in  its  zeal 
to  stamp  out  fraternities,  afraid 
that  those  members  of  the  class 
who  are  imdecided  may  Join  the 
ranks  of  fraternity  men?  We  have 
heard  the  Administration's  plea 
for  Social  Units.  Let  the  fraterni- 
ties speak. 

Sincerely  yours, 
Phihp  V.  White,  '66 


Reply 

President  Expresses 
Doubt  That  Trustees 
Would  Allow  'Visits' 

Dear  Mr.  White: 

I  can  readily  appreciate  that  the 
transition  ahead  does  not  make 
life  easier  (for  any  of  us)  and 
that  it  involves  particular  ques- 
tions for  present  freshmen.  It  was 
for  that  reason  that  I  thought  it 
courteous  to  speak  directly  to  the 
class  about  the  general  directions 
of  the  future.  I  do  not  think  the 
alternatives,  however,  are  quite  as 
grim  as  you  suggest  and  would 
propose  that  you  talk  with  Mr. 
Gardner  about  them  if  they  seem 
so. 

On  the  specific  question  you 
raise  there  is  a  longstanding  Trus- 
tee rule  dating  from  1951  that 
precludes  freshmen  from  going  in- 
to fraternities  and  I  do  not  see 
any  chance  of  its  reversal  in  the 
present  setting.  On  the  more  gen- 
eral plane  the  concerns  of  the 
Trustees  are  not  negative  but  pos- 
itive -  retaining  the  pleasanter 
features  of  small  group  living 
while  creating  a  residential  sys- 
tem better  suited  to  the  maj- 
or purposes  of  the  College  under 
present  and  future  conditions.  Ad- 
ditional residential  units  will  be 
formed,  and  the  decision  to  enter 
them  need  not  preclude  member 
ship  iri  the  purely  fraternal  groups 
whose  continuation  the  Trustees 
have  authorized  after  the  transi- 
tion of  residential  and  eating 
functions  to  the  (College. 

If  you  have  further  questions  I 
would  suggest  that  you  talk  them 
over  with  Mr.  Gardner. 

Sincerely, 
John  E.  Sawyer

1 .  My  theory  on  looking  for  a  job 
is— Play  it  big!  Shoot  for 
the  top!  Go  straight  to  the 
prez  for  your  interview. 

I  don't  know  any  presidents. 


2.  U.se  your  heail,  man.  Have  your 
tlail  set  up  a|)poiiitnienls  with 
sonic  of  the  hig  shots  he  knows. 

He's  a  veterinarian. 


8.  Beautiful  I  All  you  have  to  do 
is  find  a  presitlent  who  likes 
dogs.  You'll  have  him  eating 
out  of  your  hand  in  no  lime. 

I  don't  know  an  Elkliound 
from  an  Elk. 


4.  Frankly,  I  don't  know  what  else  to 
tell  you.  You've  got  a  prohlem. 

It's  not  as  bad  as  it  seems. 
My  idea  is  to  find  out  the  name 
of  the  employment  manager 
at  the  company  I'm  intereslril 
in.  Write  him  a  letter  telling  him 
my  qualifications.  Spell  out  my 
interests,  marks.  Simple  as  that. 


4.  A  letter  to  tlie  employment  manager!       0.  Say,  could  you  set  something  up 
Ho  ho  ho !  You've  a  lot  to  learn.  for  me  at  Equitable? 

Then  how  come  I  landed  a  I'm  not  the  president. 

great  job  at  Equitable—  but  I'll  try. 

an  executive  training  spot 

that's  interesting,  pays 

a  good  salary  and  has  a  lot 

of  promise  for  the  future.

with    John    Mills 


Chi  Psi,  D.  U.  Vie  For  Hockey  Championship; 
Phi  Sig,  A.  D.,  Beta,  D.  U.  Battle  At  Basketball 


The  DU  intramural  hockey  team 
rallied  in  the  last  two  minutes  of 
play  to  edge  KA  2-1.  Wednesday 
night,  thus  throwing  the  hockey 
championship  into  a  four-team 
race.  With  the  regular  season 
ended,  DU,  KA  and  Phi  Gam  are 
deadlocked  in  one  division  of  the 
league,  while  undefeated  and  un- 
scored  upon  Chi  Psi  dominates 
the  other  half. 

Led  by  Chris  Sargent,  Skip 
Buck,  Jack  Foley  and  Phil  Albert, 
KA  upset  DU  last  week  2-0.  But 
the  zoomen  returned,  led  by  Tom 
Boschen,  Dick  Plumer,  John  Gap- 
son,  Bill  McDaniels  and  Bob  El- 
well,  to  defeat  Phi  Gam  8-0  and 
KA  to  force  the  deadlock.  The  Pi- 
jis'  fine  season  has  been  sparked 
by  Pliil  Kinnicutt  and  John  Mil- 
holland. 

Boasting  two  good  lines  and  an 
excellent  defense  Chi  Psi  is  unde- 
feated through  nine  games,  while 
outscoring  their  opponents  76-0. 
Woody  Knight  is  the  leading  scor- 
er for  the  Chipsie§,  and  is  sup- 
ported by  Ash  Edwards,  Bill  Hub- 
bard, Bob  Critche^l,  and  Harry 
Hagy. 

Phi  Sig  Leads  Basketball 

Leading  both  divisions  of  the 
basketball  league  is  undefeated 
Phi  Sig.  Led  by  Bill  Tuxbury,  Curt 
Green,  Dave  Applebaum,  Steve 
Bowling,  Skip  Major  and  Reichert 
C.  Timothy,  the  tall  and  talented 
crew  have  earned  seven  victories 
thus  far,  their  biggest  wins  com- 
ing against  Chi  Psi,  Hoosac,  and 
AD. 


Just  behind  Phi  Sig,  AD  also 
boasts  a  tall  squad.  With  Hord 
Armsti-ong,  Gary  Kirk  and  Jack 
Elgin  on  the  boards,  and  Jim 
Sykes  and  Bob  Leroy  out  front, 
the  AD's  are  especially  effec- 
tive on  defense,  and  also  possess 
an   effective   offense. 

DU  vs.  Beta 

The  second  half  of  the  in- 
tramural basketball  league  shapes 
up  to  be  a  battle  between  DU  and 
Beta.  Thus  far  DU  is  undefeated, 
but  they  have  games  remaining 
with  Beta  and  Phi  Gam.  The  zoo- 
men's  success  is  based  upon  a 
stunning  fast  break  and  a  press- 
ing zone  defense.  Bill  Chapman 
and  Dave  Dillman  concentrate  on 
the  outside  shots  with  John  Bose 
and  Gerry  Wheaton  controlling 
the  boards. 


Beta  still  has  games  against  KA 
and  DU  which  could  throw  the 
division  into  a  two-way  deadlock. 
Not  possessing  superior  height,  the 
Betas  rely  on  the  outside  shooting 
of  Ijennie  Brumberg  and  Paul 
Pearson. 

St.  A.  Tuke  Swimming 

In  the  swimming  finals,  St.  A 
took  the  first  place,  followed  by 
Psi  U,  DU  and  Phi  Sig.  Jon  Spel- 
man  won  the  breaststroke  and 
Rick  Ash  captured  the  diving  hon- 
ors with  front,  back  and  half- 
twist  dives  to  lead  the  Saints. 

Psi  U  won  the  majority  of  first 
places,  with  Bill  Ruter  taking  the 
100  yard  free,  Pete  Lewicki  win- 
ning the  100  backstroke,  Pete 
Joans  starring  in  the  100  and  200, 
Dave  Tunic  in  the  butterfly,  and 
Steve  Golding  in  the  200.

leers  Blast  Hamilloii,  12-2; 
Roe:  11  Points  For  Record 


Williams'  Ail-American  hockey 
candidate  Tom  Roe  netted  four 
goals  and  seven  assists,  setting 
college  records  for  total  points 
and  assists  In  a  game,  in  leading 
the  Ephmen  to  a  12-2  rout  over 
Hamilton  on  home  ice  Wednes- 
day afternoon. 

With  Ploe's  amazing  effort,  the 
Ephmen  took  a  quick  4-0  first 
period  lead  and  were  never  in 
trouble  for  the  remainder  of  the 
g-ame.  The  Minnesota  Marvel  had 
a  hand  in  all  but  one  Williams 
goal,  assisting  on  the  first  five, 
picking  up  two  goals  in  tlie  sec- 
ond period,  and  adding  four  more 
points  in  the  final  period. 

Goodwillie  Blast  Five 

Leading  goal-netter  for  the 
Ephs  was  linemate  Gene  Good- 
willie with  five,  and  Andy  Holt, 
the  other  third  of  the  first  line, 
added  a  goal  plus  two  assists. 

On  defense,  goalie  Bob  Rich  had 
an  easy  day  in  the  nets,  making 
19  saves  through  the  first  two 
periods  with  only  one  miss.  Jun- 
ior Joel  Reingold  took  over  in  the 
final  period  to  add  nine  saves.  In

Dave  Lougee  and  Pi-ank  Ward 
were  outstanding  on  defense. 

Amherst  .Saturday 

With  a  11-9  season  record,  the 
pucksters  will  close  out  their  cam- 
paign here  against  Amherst  at 
two  o'clock.  The  game  will  mark 
the  final  appearance  for  seniors 
Roe.  Holt.  Goodwillie.  and  Max- 
well, all  linemen,  defensemen 
Heath,  Lougee  and  Ward,  and 
goalie  Bob  Rich.  The  Ephmen  al- 
ready hold  two  victories  this  year 
over  the  Jeffs,  but  will  "up"  for 
this  game  bocause  of  their  disap- 
pointing showing  three  weeks  ago 
in  Amherst  when  they  only  won 
3-0. 


The  Jeff  contest  represents  the 
culmination  of  Tom  Roe's  fine 
career  at  Williams.  With  Wednes- 
day's eleven  points,  Roe  now  has 
a  total  of  70  for  the  season,  on 
39  goals  and  31  assists,  virtually 
assuring  him  of  the  ECAC  hockey 
scoring  championship.

last  March  established  a  New

established  records  in  the  200  yard 
freestyle  and  the  200  yard  butter- 
fly. In  addition  Connard  own.s  the 
school  and  pool  marks  in  the  ob- 
solete 440  yard  freestyle. 

Co-captain  John  Moran  ha.s 
been  an  Eph  bulwark  for  three 
years.  Having  anchored  the  rec- 
ord setting  400  yard  relay,  ace 
freestyler  Moran  finished  second 
to  Captain  Tom  Hershback  in  the 
100  yard  freestyle  at  the  N.E.'s 
la.st  year. 

Rapidly  improving  junior  Sandy 
Kasten  will  reinforce  the  senior 
strength.  Kasten.  a  member  of  the 
record-setting  relay  team  of  last 
year,  has  done  particularly  well  in 
both  the  100  and  200  yard  free- 
style events  this  season. 

Having  set  a  N.E.  record  of  55.7 
in  the  100  yard  butterfly  last  .year, 
senior  Dave  Larry  has  been  a 
consistent  winner  in  the  50  and 
100  yard  freestyle  sprints  thi.s  sea- 
son. At  the  N.E.'s  last  season,  he 
also  nabbed  second  behind  Her.sh- 
back  in  the  50  yard  freestyle. 

Diver  Dick  Holme  who  es- 
tablished a  pool  mark  of  75  points 
was  N.E.'s  second  best  diver  last 
year  and  is  a  top  contender  for 
first  place  honors  this  season. 
Teammate  Pete  Weber  who  was 
N.E.'s  No.  4  man  in  the  440  last 
season,  is  also  a  butterfly  bul- 
wark. 

Having  powered  his  way  to 
fourth  place  in  the  N.E.'s  last 
year  senior  Bill  Carter  will  be  ex- 
pected to  shine  In  the  breast- 
stroke. 

In  facing  Amherst,  Williams 
can  expect  no  pushover.  Led  by 
versatile  co-captains  Mike  Laux 
and  Laurie  Osborne,  Amherst  has 
topped  Little  Three  rival  Wesleyan 
as  well  as  powerful  contingents 
from  Springfield  and  Brown.  Of 
particular  interest  should  be  the 
resumption  of  the  diving  duel  be- 
tween sophs  Mike  Finney  of  Wil- 
liams and  Jeff  soph  MoDougall. 
McDougall  bested  Finney  last 
year. 

Hoping  to  avenge  last  years 
loss  to  the  Jefflings,  the  freshman 
team,  featuring  three  new  frosh 
record  holders,  will  also  battle  for 
a  Little  Three  title  immediately 
after  the  varsity  showdown.

Paul  Goodman  Here  March  11&12 


By  J  .H.  K.  Davis,  U 

Paul  Goodman,  noted  critic, 
poet,  playwright  and  commimity 
planner  will  be  at  Williams 
March  11  and  12  to  deliver  the 
David  Sterling  Memorial  Lecture 
and  .speak  at  a  Student  Union 
Luncheon.  He  will  offer  "A  Pro- 
posal for  Decentralization"  at  8 
p.m.  in  Jesup  Hall  Monday  night 
and  discuss  "Sexual  Ethics"  at  his 
Tuesday  noon  appearance  in  Bax- 
ter Hall. 

Goodman  is  the  author  of  such 
widely-read  books  as  Community 
of  Scholars,  Growing  Up  Absurd 
and  Communitas,  and  has  pub- 
lished a  volume  of  poems  entitled. 
The  lordly  Hudson.  He  is  also  a 
frequent  contributor  to  left-wing 
periodicals  and  an  active  member 
of  the  New  York  School  Board. 

Goodman  is  Established 

He  is  most  famous  for  his  dis- 
paraging remarks  about  the  var- 
ious Establishments  that  seem  to 
control  much  of  America  and  dis- 
tort its  citizens'  views  of  reality. 
To  counteract  this  evil  influence, 
Goodman  has  proposed  a  compre- 
hensive plan  for  renovating  the 
entire  social,  political  and  educa- 
tional aspects  of  American  life.     I 

Last  week-end,  this  physically  | 
unkempt  but  mentally  disciplined 
figure  addressed  an  audience  of 
long-haired  leftists  students  at 
Brandeis  on  the  broad  subject  of 
"University  Reform."  He  explain- 
ed that  his  job  as  keynote  speak- 
er for  a  three-day  conference  was 
to  offer  several  problems  that  stu- 
dents should  tackle  during  the 
week-end. 

He  began  by  stating  that  the 
job  of  those  mixed  up  in  the  20th 
century  "is  to  make  it  relevant  to 
something."  With  this  beginning 
he  was  off  on  a  comprehensive  at- 


tack on  America's  inability  to  do 
this. 

Goodman  called  colleges  "traps" 
that  ensnared  potentially  good 
students  and  forced  them  to  see 
things  their  way.  These  "training 
grounds  for  the  military,  private 
corporations  and  the  Estab- 
lishments" present  distorted  pic- 
tures of  reality  to  students  be- 
cause of  an  "interlocking  network 
of  mass  communications   media" 


\<'hich  has  vested  interests  in  pre- 
senting an  "image." 

He  added,  "I  am  not  really  con- 
fident that  you  students  know 
what  is  good  for  you.  But  I  don't 
want  -some  corporation  telling  you 
what  is  right."  Wliat  is  right  is 
Goodman's  job,  and  aside  from 
his  somewhat  cynical  reflections 
on  venerable  institutions,  he  has 
many  viable  suggestions  to  make 
concerning  it. 


Special  Cigarette  Tax  Proposed; 
Added  Revenue  For  College  Towns 

by  Harold  Crowtlier 

The  mayor  of  Boston,  John  Collins,  recently  presented  a  bill 
to  the  Massachusetts  state  Icf^islature  proposing  a  IK-cent  in- 
crease in  the  state  cij;;arette  tax  for  the  purpose  of  raising  funds 
to  subsidize  communities  which  contain  tax-e.xempt  ])rivatc  col- 
leges and  universities.  The  mayor's  ])lan  calls  for  the  10  or  11 
million  dollars  which  would  be  raised  annually  in  this  way  to  be 
distributed  to  these  communities  at  the  rate  of  $100  per  full- 
time  student. 

This  money  is  intended  to  alleviate  the  financial  difficulties 

suffered  by  municipal  govern- 
ments which  must  furnish  public 
services  to  private  institutions 
without  the  benefit  of  their  taxes. 
The  bill  would,  for  example, 
bring  $2  million  to  Cambridge  and 
$4  million  to  the  city  of  Boston. 
Early  support  for  the  bill  has 
come  from  the  college  towns  and 
from  colleges  who  have  felt  com- 
munity pressure  because  of  their 
tax-exempt  status.  The  cigarette 
concerns  and  non-benefiting  com- 
munities are  expected  to  lead  the 
opposition.

A  Seasonal  Poem 

O,   B-town.    O  B-town,   we   greet 

thee  with  a  sigh. 
We  inib  our  thighs  expectantly  as 

your  return  draws  nigh. 
With    work    shirts    almost   ready, 

and  blue  jeans  fading  white. 
We'll  meet   you  in   the   bright   of 

day  as   we  dreamt  of  you  at 

night. 
We   use  these  six   lines   here    to 

make  our  pleasures  known, 
O,   B-town.   O,  B-town,   we   greet 

thee  with  a  groan. 


The  Departmenl  of  Buildings 
and  Grounds  set  up  shoi)  last  week 
in  its  new  $175,000  .service  building 
on  the  corner  of  Latham  Street 
and  Meacham  Street  Extension, 
just  across  from  Weston  Field. 

Tills  replaces  the  Department's 
old  offices  on  Spring  Street.  The 
new  building  occupies  the  site  of 
the  "barracks,"  the  dormitory  for 
married  students  wliich  was  torn 
down  several  years  ago. 

Work  In  Progress 

Only  the  office  section  of  this 
single  red  brick  building  is  pre- 
sently in  use.  Work  is  still  in  pro- 
gress on  the  rest  of  the  building, 
which  includes  a  220  foot  long 
•shop  area  with  loading   platform. 

For  the  time  being,  the  various 
shops  will  remain  in  their  present 
locations,  and  will  be  moved  to  the 
new  building  as  additional  areas 
are  completed.  An  open  house  will 
be  held  when  the  entire  depart- 
ment is  installed  In  the  new 
building  some  time  in  early  April. 

SNCC  Worker  Shot 
Trying  To  Register 
Mississippi    Negroes 

Jim  Travers,  a  worker  for  the 
Student  Non-Violent  Coordinating 
Committee  was  shot  Saturday 
while  trying  to  register  Nogro  vot- 
ers in  Mississippi's  Mayflower 
County.  He  is  in  critical  condi- 
tion in  a  Mississippi  hospital  with 
shotgun  pellets  in  his  head,  a  bul- 
let lodged  in  his  spine  and  an- 
other in  his  shoulder. 

Travers  and  his  fellow  SNCC 
workers  had  just  finished  register- 
ing more  Negroes  in  one  day  than 
they  had  since  the  end  of  the 
summer,  when  they  decided  to 
travel  to  the  next  county  to  check 
up  on  activities  there. 

As  their  car  approached  an  in- 
tersection, a  white  Buick  pulled 
in  front  of  them  and  two  men,  one 
armed  with  a  shotgun  and  the 
other  with  a  pLstol.  got  out  and 
fired  into  the  car.  Two  other  SN 
CC  workers  were  uninjured. 

The  incident  is  reminiscent 
of  the  fatal  shooting  of  Herbert 
Lee,  a  Mississippi  native  who  lost 
his  life  assisting  in  SNCC's  work 
last  year. 


Weekend  Warriors  Send  Lord  Jells  To   Purple   Valhalla 


Ephs  Shell-Shock  Amherst  Skaters 
With  Lines  Ten  Goal  Bombardment 


By   Bob   Mayer 

Co-captain  Tom  Roe  closed  out 
his  Williams  College  hockey  ca- 
reer Saturday  by  scoring  six  goals 
and  two  assists  in  leading  his 
tram  to  a  10-0  blanking  of  Am- 
herst. In  finishing  the  season 
with  a  3.7  point  a  game  average. 
Roe  clinched  the  scoring  title  in 
the  Eastern  College  Athletic  Con- 
ference, being  several  percentage 
points  above  runner-up  Bobby 
Brlnkworth  ol  RPI. 

The  Amherst  contest  was  a 
complete  rout.  The  Eph's  other 
co-captain,  goalie  Bobby  Rich,  de- 
lighted the  lusty-voiced  throng  of 
Purple  Key  Weekenders  by  ending 
the  season  with  his  second 
straight  shutout  against  Amherst. 


Rich  was  called  on  to  make  only 
14  saves  as  compared  to  the  72 
stops  of  Jeff  goalie  Dave  Stringer. 

Roe  Scores  Early 

But  the  WlUlamstown  crowd 
had  come  out  to  see  Roe  and  the 
190  pound  forward  didn't  let  his 
fans  down.  Williams  was  in  the 
lead  within  the  first  thirty-four 
seconds.  The  Ephs  controlled  the 
opening  face-off  and  brought  the 
puck  In  front  of  the  cage.  Gene 
Goodwillle  passed  to  Roe  and  it 
was  1-0.  Seven  seconds  later,  Roc 
did  it  again,  when  he  took  the 
face-off  and  skated  through  the 
Amherst  defense,  and  scored,  giv- 
ing  the  Purple  a  2-0  spread. 

The  entire  first  period  was  one

THE  WILLIAMS   RECORD,   WED.,   MARCH    6,   1963       ^ 
VOL.  LXXVM  NO.  9       ^ 


Yes,  Psi  U,  There  Is  A  RECORD 

No  longer,  wc  understand,  do  you  wish  to  have  the  simple 
pleasure  of  opening  our  distinguished  tabloid  at  Wednesday  and 
Friday  night  supper.  No  lonwer  do  you  care  to  peruse  carefully  our 
sports  pages,  and  perhaps  glance  at  our  carefully  and  aesthetically 
planned  front  page.  No  longer  do  you  worry  about  keeping  abreast 
of  campus  news,  news  into  which  you  maintain  we  continually  in- 
terject our  own  strongly  biased  views. 

For  you  have  taken  a  stand  on  one  side  of  the  Issue,  we,  per- 
haps, on  the  other.  And  lience,  gentle  readers,  no  longer  will  you  al- 
low us  to  illuminate  your  cheery  fraternal  hearth. 

We  shrug  our  editorial  shoulders  to  this  action.  (Our  more  emo- 
tional and  less  rational  business  staff,  of  course,  are  quite  dis- 
traught at  the  loss  of  revenue.)  It  was  almost  to  be  expected,  from 
a  historical  point  of  view,  at  least:  men  always  tend  to  encloak  their 
minds  and  muster  their  rhetoric  in  times  of  crisis.  This  is  a  crisis, 
and  you  arc  men. 

Yet  we  cannot  be  so  philosophically  remote,  so  disinterestedly 
complacent  about  the  whole  affair.  We,  after  all,  are  putting  out  a 
newspaper  to  be  read  by  all,  or  at  least  a  fair  percentage  of  students. 
We  have  taken  a  point  of  view,  as  is  the  privilege  of  any  news- 
paper, especially  a  college  journal.  This  viewpoint  admittedly  has 
placed  us  at  odds  with  a  goodly  number  of  students.  At  many  times, 
it  is  an  awkward  one  to  adhere  to,  siding  with  an  administration 
and  faculty  who  usually  are  altogether  ignorant  of  student  welfare. 
Vet  it  remains  the  only  tenable  outlook  under  the  circumstances. 
Whether  your  action  was  a  byproduct  of  a  faulty  and  anachronistic 
system,  or  a  manifestation  of  some  higher  irrationality,  we  do  not 
know;  but  by  refusing  to  even  listen  to  our  side,  as  you  have  now 
done,  speaks  poorly  for  yourselves  and  that  system  of  which  you  are 
a  part. 

We  will  still  try  to  publish  a  paper  containing  what  we  think  is 
right,  writing  news  and  editorials  about  an  Issue  almost  ridiculously 
imfit  to  print.  What  we  say,  you  will  no  longer  read,  perhaps  no 
longer  even  wonder  about.  In  sadness  we  take  your  leave,  and  bade 
you  felicitations  in  your  journalistic  isolation.  — The  Record 


Bourgeosie  Buys  Brecht  At  AMT 


A  colorful  and  assorted  collection  of  beggars, 
thieves,  corrupt  oops  and  call  girls  exposed  the 
seamier  side  of  Soho  life  Friday  night  in  the  AMT's 
exciting  production  of  Brecht  and  Weill's  "The 
Threepenny  Opera." 

Director  John  von  Szellskl,  working  with  an 
excellent  cast  and  crew,  succeeded  in  capturing  the 
combination  of  bitterness  and  humor,  despair  and 
vitality,  which  takes  the  play  beyond  the  confines 
of  social  satire  and  comment.  Kurt  Weill's  haunt- 
ing music  and  Brecht's  comlc-dramatlc  genius  ex- 
press and  embody  a  vision  which  is  always  closer 
to  poetry  than  to  propaganda. 

"The  Threepenny  Opera"  is  good  theatre,  and 
the  AMT  production  sparkles  with  the  kind  of  ex- 
citement that  is  all  too  rare  in  Williamstown.  Mon- 
te Aubrey's  musical  direction,  the  scenery  and 
costumes  by  Robert  Williams,  and  Derek  Hunt's 
highly  competent  technical  direction,  lent  a  pro- 
fessional air  to  the  production  which  perfectly  set 
off  the  superb  performances  of  an  almost  uniform- 
ly good  cast  and  staff. 

Judith  Meeder's  earthy  and  boisterous  Mrs. 
Peachum  stood  out  as  one  of  the  best  character- 
izations in  an  array  of  star  performances;  her 
voice  filled  the  theatre  in  several  rousing  musical 
numbers,  and  she  captivated  the  audience  with  a 
remarkable  subtlety  of  comic  effects. 

Weill's  score  provides  the  women  of  the  cast 
with  quite  a  few  really  show-stopping  numbers. 
Diana  Versenyi's  renditions  of  "Pirate  Jenny"  and 
"Solomon  Song"  were  genuinely  moving  in  the 
depths  of  bitterness  and  resentment  that  they  ex- 
pressed; while  Ruth  Hunt's  version  of  "Barbara 
Song"  provided  one  of  the  comic  highlights  of  the 
evening. 

As  Polly  Peachum,  Betty  Aberlin  captured  the 
combination  •  of  vacuity  and  sweetness  which  has 
marked  generations  of  musical  comedy  heroines. 
In  the  context  of  Brecht'  supremely  ironic  libretto, 
she  was  perfect. 

As  Mack  the  Knife,  replete  with  gloves,  cane, 
mustache  and  scar.  Bill  Prosser  '64  maintained  an 
aura  of  ironic  detachment  and  spotted  elegance 
which  heightened  the  satire  of  comic-opera  tech- 
niques and  provided  contrast  with  the  seedy  sur- 


roundings of  Soho.  Among  the  seedier  of  his  sur- 
roundings was  his  gang.  Played  with  exuberance, 
and  Just  the  right  touch  of  malice,  by  Wood  Lock- 
hart  "63,  Ted  Cornell  '65,  Jed  Scholsberg  '65, 
and  Peter  Mock  '63,  they  provided  some  of  the 
funniest  moments  of  the  show,  particularly  in 
Mack's  wedding  scene.  In  particular,  Cornell  proved 
that  he  has  one  of  the  funniest  faces  on  the  Wil- 
liamstown stage;  his  mugging  in  the  brothel  scene 
was  pure  delight. 

Borden  Snow's  Mr.  Peachum  became  the 
vehicle  for  some  of  the  bitterest  satire,  particular- 
ly in  his  musical  numbers.  His  big  voice  and  ex- 
travagant gestures  portrayed  to  perfection  the  vil- 
lainous character  of  Polly's  father,  the  cynical 
owner  of  "The  Beggar's  Big  Brother."  As  Tiger 
Brown,  the  cream-puff  chief  of  police,  Lee  Rich- 
mond '65  demonstrated  a  real  flair  for  comic  char- 
acterization: padded  stomach,  mobile  face,  expres- 
sive voice  and  gesture  combined  to  give  him  some 
of  the  biggest  laughs  in  the  show. 

Andy  Green's  miming  as  the  street  singer,  Paul 
Crissey's  comic  cop,  a  bevy  of  talented  call-girls, 
and  Dick  Berger's  dual  gems  as  Pilch  and  the  Mes- 
senger, plus  an  array  of  beggars,  thieves  and  sucli 
rounded  out  the  excellent  cast. 

Von  Szeliski's  direction  resulted  in  a  uniform 
quality  of  performance  which  included  even  the 
smallest  parts.  The  show  was  well-paced  and  made 
a  smooth  transition  from  the  almost  burlesqup 
opening  scenes  to  the  genuinely  serious  conclusion. 
Here  Brecht's  satire  of  comic  opera  is  fused  witli 
social  protest  as  the  "happy  ending"  brings  all  to- 
gether in  a  rousing  mock  anthem.  Prosser  wa.s  at 
his  best  as  Mack  the  Knife  faced  the  prospect  of 
of  being  hanged,  and  not  even  the  Messenger  could 
bring  relief  to  the  real  desperation  that  these 
moments  revealed.  Andy  Green's  closing  reprise  of 
Mack  the  Knife  brought  into  focus  once  again  the 
sharply  satiric  intention  of  the  work;  throughout 
"The  Threepenny  Opera",  the  music,  even  more 
than  the  libretto  reminds  the  audience  of  the  real- 
ity of  pathos  beneath  the  appearance  of  comic  friv- 
olity. The  show  is  an  essay  in  irony,  the  end  of 
which  is  "to  assault  by  pleasing."

liaras  treasurer  Charles  A.  Foehl 
explained  the  unusual  college- 
community  tax  relationship  in 
Williamstown.  He  stated  that  des- 
pite the  tax-exempt  status  of  the 
actual  educational  facilities,  the 
college  pays  enough  in  taxes  on 
non-exempt  properties  such  as  the 
Faculty  Club  to  rank  as  the 
largest  individual  source  of  tax 
revenue  in  the  village. 

In  view  of  this  situation,  he 
speculated  that  any  state  subsi- 
dies for  Williamstown  might  in- 
deed benefit  the  college  by  enab- 
ling the  village  to  lower  tax  rates. 

Williams  would,  however,  stand 
to  gain  much  less  from  the  cig- 
arette tax  than  the  larger  univer- 
sities of  the  state,  e.g.  Harvard, 
which  would  save  $1  million  now 
paid  voluntarily  in  lieu  of  taxes.

New  Exhibit  At  Clark  Institute 

The  Sterling  and  Pranclne  Clark  Art  Institute,  closed  Mondays 
and  February  has  now  reopened  for  the  spring  season.  Those  tourists, 
art  lovers  and  college  students  already  familiar  with  the  museum 
should  be  prepared  for  two  significant  changes. 

The  first  is  a  new  exhibition  that  replaces  the  year  old  Daumier 
show.  Prom  an  apparently  inexhaustable  collection,  the  museum  has 
gathered  24  oils,  drawings  and  watercolors  representative  of  the  work 
of  Jean  Louis  Porain.  A  rather  obscure  artist  of  the  first  half  of  this 
century,  Porain  must  be  considered  a  conservative.  His  drawings  and 
the  three  rather  unresolved  oils  seem  to  be  derivative  of  Degas  in 
their  attempts  to  capture  the  sense  of  a  given  moment.  But  he  re- 
mains far  behind  Degas  and  his  contemporaries  in  that  his  subjects 
are  rarely  opportunities  for  exploration  in  light,  color  and  form  In- 
deed, only  one  of  his  works,  "Danscuse  sur  Genoux,"  seems  to  have 
been  conceived  in  terms  of  color,  This  unwillingness  to  advance  be- 
yond his  subject  matter  may  account  for  the  relative  lack  of  atten- 
tion paid  to  Porain  today. 

Eventually  his  reputation  may  rest  with  his  drawings.  Here  Por- 
ain's  undeniable  technical  abilities  allowed  him  to  chronicle  the  man- 
ners of  his  society  with  adeft  and  facile  pen.  In  the  first  World  War, 
when  his  subject  matter  moved  to  the  human  condition  itself,  Por- 
ain responded  with  even  greater  penetration.  Though  never  a  truly 
great  artist,  his  talent  for  the  creation  of  fulfilled  expectancy,  easily 
merits  this  revival  by  the  institute. 

The  museum  has  also  undertaken  Its  most  extensive  program  of 
reorganization  in  several  years.  The  most  significant  change  is  the 
transfer  of  the  Siene  Altarpiece  to  the  Italian  room.  The  Clark  In- 
stitute's latest  acquisition  no  longer  looks  isolated  when  seen  hung 
among  contemporary  paintings  and  mounted  on  a  base,  as  originally 
intended.  There  has  been  no  drastic  revision,  but  there  is  continual 
evidence  of  the  time  and  care  that  the  trustees  have  lavished  on 
their  masterpieces.  One  might  hope  that  someday  Lawrence  will  fol- 
low Clark,  and  at  least  hang  its  temporary  exhibitions  at  eye  level 
and  without  frames  touching  each  other.  The  Clark' Museum  has 
been  deservedly  praised  for  its  fine  collection,  but  it  should  also  be 
given  credit  for  realizing  that  the  manner  of  presentation  is  es- 
sential If  the  art  experience  is  to  be  rewarding.

Teams  Complete  Glorious   Weekend

hugh  Williams  offensive.  Before 
the  twenty  minutes  were  over,  Roe 
had  fired  his  third  goal,  Gary 
Burger  had  tallied  on  a  solo  dash 
after  stealing  the  puck,  and  Andy 
Holt  had  battered  in  the  fifth 
score  on  passes  from  Mike  Heath 
and  Roe. 

The  pace  slowed  down  in  the 
second  period  as  play  became 
somewhat  rougher  and  a  bit  slop- 
pier. Amjierst  put  together  its 
sole  scoring  threat  of  the  after- 
noon when  a  .Ijbrd  Jeff  broke  into 
the  clear  in  front  of  the  cage, 
but  Rich  came  out  to  make  a 
fine  stop.  Holt  and  Roe  each  scor- 
ed again  in  this  period,  Holt's 
goal  coming  when  Williams  had 
a   man    in   the    penalty  box. 

First  Line  Stars 

Perhaps  Amherst  isn't  the  fin- 
est hockey  team  around  as  shown 
by  its  4-17  record.  Still,  the  Eph 
first  line  of  Roe,  Goodwillie,  and 
Holt  was  sensational.  Their  hus- 
tle, passing,  and  stick  handling 
made  for  really  exciting  hockey. 
In  the  last  period,  they  engineered 
two  more  tallies,  both  scored  by 
Roe  off  Goodwillie  passes.  Coach 
Bill  McCormick  will  have  a  hard 
time  next  season  finding  replace- 
ments for  these  three  seniors. 

Williams  completed  the  season 
with  a  12-9  record.  Besides  the 
first  attack  line  and  Rich,  the 
Amherst  contest  marked  the  fin- 
al appearances  in  Purple  uniforms 
for  defensemen  Mike  Heath,  Dave 
Lougee,  and  Prank  Ward,  as  well 
as  forward  Doug  Maxwell. 

Roe,  besides  pacing  the  ECAC 
this  season,  upped  his  college  scor- 
ing record  to  227  points.  The 
Minnesotan  scored  67  points  as  a 
sophomore,  82  markers  last  year, 
and  accounted  for  45  goals  and 
33  assists  this  season. 

ECAC  Rules 

The  ECAC  informed  Coach  Mc- 
Cormick Sunday  that  in  deciding 


their  scoring  leader.  Roe's  two 
goals  and  four  assists  made  a- 
galnst  Pennsylvania  will  not  be 
counted  because  the  Quakers  are 
a  hockey  "club",  not  recognized  as 
a  varsity  team  by  the  University, 
and  therefore  not  a  member  of  the 
ECAC.  However,  this  only  lowers 
Roe's  point  per  game  average  to 
3.6,  still   far  ahead  of  the  field. 

Coach  McCormick  expressed 
hope  as  to  Roe's  chances  for  being 
named  to  the  eastern  AU-Amer- 
ican  team.  "I  don't  know  how  all 
the  other  coaches  feel,"  remarked 
the  Eph  mentor,  "but  those  that 
I've  spoken  to  think  very  highly 
of  Tommy.  You  can't  tell,  though, 
how  the  'strong  block'  of  coaches 
from  the  Boston  area  will  vote 
because  they  may  not  know  en- 
ough about  him  and  they  may 
want  to  support  their  own  boys." 

The  eastern  AU-American  team 
will  be  named  on  about  March 
14  at  the  American  Hockey  Coach- 
es Convention.  Eastern  and  west- 
ern All-America's  are  both  chosen 
because  very  few  of  the  eastern 
and  western  coaches  ever  get  to 
see  teams  in  the  other  part  of  the 
country  in  action  until  the 
national  playoffs.

Education  And  Architecture  Combine 
To  Form  PiersonJefferson  Utopia 


By   Lisle  Ualtoii 

Garfield  once  said  tliat  an  ideal 
education  would  be  Maik  Hopkins 
on  one  end  of  a  Iok  and  a  student 
on  the  other.  In  his  lecture  Thurs- 
day, Art  Professor  William  Pier- 
son  applied  this  same  idea  to 
Thomas  Jefferson  while  examin- 
ing the  Virginian  as  an  educator 
and  as  an  architect.  Jefferson  be- 
lieved that  democracy  is  based  on 
education;  he  carried  out  this- 
idea  in  the  creation  of  the  Un- 
iversity of  VirBinia,  his  crowning 
achievement  in  architecture. 

Pierson,  usinf,'  sight  and  sound, 
traced  the  development  of  Jeffer- 
son's architectural  ideas  and  de- 
monstrated that  they  are  expres- 
sive of  his  political  sentiments  as 
well. 

A  Classieivl  Architect 

Thomas  Jefferson,  who  learned 
basic  design  from  books  he  read 
as  an  undergraduate  at  William 
and  Mary,  ardently  believed  in 
the  classical  architecture  of  the 
Greeks  and  Romans.  His  funda- 
mental principles  were  clarity, 
proportion  and  appropriateness  of 
design;  he  stressed  visual  rather 
than  structural  aspects. 

Monticello,  dignified  yet  inform- 
al, is  a  highly  personal  expres- 
sion of  Jefferson  and  his  way  of 
life.  The  building  was  built  in 
two  stages.  The  first  ended  in 
1778;  work  was  resumed  in  1796, 
but  the  unfinished  structure  was 
dismantled  and  the  existing  struc- 
ture built. 

Influenced  B.v  Paris 

This  change  in  design  reflects 
the  Neo-classical  ideas  Jefferson 
saw  in  Paris.  The  Roman  villa 
and  its  practicality  influenced  the 
design  ta  a  great  extent.  The  out- 
buildings, housing  his  law  and 
real  estate  offices,  reflect  this 
practicality,  as  do  the  tunnels 
linking  them  to  the  main  house. 
Although  Jefferson  was  personal- 
ly biased  against  British  architec- 
ture, the  rambling  gardens  of 
Monticello  recall  those  of  the  Bri- 
tish country  houses. 

Jefferson's  dream  of  a  state  un- 
iversity was  realized  in  1817.  Its 
architecture  centers  around  the 
two  problems  of  education  and 
housing,  for  Jefferson  felt  that 
learning  and  living  should  be  in- 
separable. By  placing  the  dormi- 
tories in  between  the  pavillions  of 
each  professor  and  joining  all  of 
them  together  with  a  collonade, 
Jefferson  designed  facilities  con- 
ducive to  a  working  relationship 
between  teacher  and  student. 

Los  and  Pavillion 

The  "log"  or  "logs"  are  the 
pavillions,  for  they  are  the  phy- 
sical links  between  the  professor 
and  student.  None  of  the  pavillions 
are  exactly  alike  or  of  the  same 
size;  this  is  in  order  to  accommo- 
date the  diverse  personalities  of 
the  professors,  to  provide  various 
designs  for  the  students  of  archi- 
tecture, and,  on  a  more  intangible 


PROF.   WILLIAM  PIERSON 

level,  to  represent  the  "illimitable 
freedom  of  the  human  mind."  The 
continuous  rhythm  of  the  collon- 
ade holds  them  together;  it  gives 
cohesiveness  to  Jefferson's  "Ir 
regular  and  knotty  log." 

The  design  of  the  University  of 
Virginia  represents  Jefferson's 
political  idea  of  the  dignity  of  the 
human  individual  (the  pavillions) 
joined  together  by  the  Federal 
government  (the  collonade).  The 
outstanding  landmark  of  the  cam- 
pus,  the  Rotunda,  is  derived  from 
the  Pantheon  in  Rome.  Jefferson 
himself  made  up  the  original  cur 
riculum;  it  was  weighted  heavily 
toward  the  sciences,  having  ten 
schools  of  science. 

Some  criticize  Jefferson  for  his 
total  dependence  on  classical  ar 
chitecture.  However,  he  modified 
the  designs  to  his  own  tastes,  and 
his.  architecture  was  identified 
with  the  most  advanced  ideas  in 
Europe  at  that  time.  In  America 
he  was  of  the  avante  g:arde. 

In  closing  his  lecture,  Pierson 
considered  the  question:  would 
Thomas  Jefferson  be  a  "modern' 
today?  Though  he  would  probably 
be  a  politician  rather  than  an 
architect  in  our  specialized  society, 
he  would  argue  with  men  like  Sa 
arinen  and  Stone  -  leading  the 
vanguard  of  forward  thinking.

Greeks,  Alcohol,   Frosh    Cooperate 


The  unrestricted,  alcoholic  mood 
which  prevailed  last  weekend  also 
fostered  several  informal,  intimate 
gatherings  designed  to  cement 
Graeco-Prosh  relations. 

Rumor,  as  well  as  reliable  sour- 
ces, hath  it  that  the  college's 
forthcoming  social  unit,  the  new 
dorm,  was  the  scene  of  a  Friday 


night  gathering  of  upperclassmen 
and  freshmen  with  dripping  kegs 
and  persuasive  discourse  being  the 
order  of  the  evening. 

Saturday  afternoon  immediately 
after  the  varsity  hockey  game  a 
similar,  but  infinitely  more  refin- 
ed get-together,  took  place  in 
Berkshire  Hall,  the  other  half  of 


the  social-unit  to  be. 

At  this  time  both  sophomores 
as  well  as  upperclassmen  took  it 
uf)on  themselves  to  entertain  a 
number  of  the  more  civic  minded 
freshmen  and  the  entire  affair 
looked  a  good  deal  like  a  house 
meeting.

Defeat  Amherst  For  5-4  Season 


The  Williams  fieshnmii  hockey 
learn  bounced  back  from  a  7-2  de- 
feat at  the  hands  of  RPI  on  last 
Wednesday  to  down  Amhcisl  5-2 
on  Saturday. 

The  RPI  contest  remained  close 
throughout  two  periods,  and  Wil- 
liams entered  the  third  period 
with  only  a  one  goal  deficit.  The 
Technicians,  however,  aided  by  the 
inadequate  referees  and  several 
Eph  scores  were  contributed  by 
captain  Bill  Roe. 

The  5-2  victory  over  aich-rival 
Amhe"st  was  marked,  as  was  the 
previous  meeting  of  the  two  clubs, 
(jy  the  decisive  play  of  the  Eph 
defense,  Ted  Noll,  Jon  Linen,  Al- 
bi  Booth,  and  Steve  O'Brien. 
Throughout  the  entire  game  the 
Williams  defense  allowed  only  12 
shots  to  be  taken  on  Eph  goalie 
Scott  Johnson.  The  Amherst 
Koalie  was  called  upon  to  make 
thirty  saves.

Pfaelzer  Gets  First  Goal 

The  frosh  dominated  play  in  the 
first  period  as  Amherst  took  only 
three  shots.  One  of  these,  how- 
ever, provided  the  Jeffs  with  an 
early  short-lived  lead  as  Bueler 
took  a  fine  pass  from  Diamond 
and  Sessions  and  poked  it  past 
goalie  Johnson's  skate  for  a  tally. 
Shortly  thereafter,  Dave  Pfaelzer, 
on  assists  from  Roe  and  Bob 
Bradley,  banged  one  in  from  in 
front  of  the  Amherst  cage  to  tie 
the  score.  At  13:17  Roe  scored  his 
first  goal  on  passes  from  Bradley 
and  Pfaelzer, 

Roc  Turns  Hat  Trick 

Roe,  on  assists  from  Pfaelzer 
and  Booth,  scored  again  to  open 
the  second  period.  Fourteen  min- 
utes later,  Bob  Bradley  carried  the 
puck  the  length  of  the  ice  and 
soloed  from  ten  feet  out.  Amherst 
got  its  last  goal  at  10:32  of  the 
third  period  as  Allen  converted  in 
a  scramble  in  front  of  the  nets. 
Roe  completed  his  hat  trick  at 
12:26  of  the  last  period  to  end 
the  scoring. 

Good  Prospects 

Saturday's  game  marked  the 
completion  of  a  fine  5-4  season 
for  the  frosh  skaters  against  some 
stiff  competition.  The  play  of  the 
first  line  of  Roe,  Bradley,  and 
Pfaelzer  is  especially  encouraging 
for  the  senior-laden  varsity. 


Frosh  Whip  Amherst; 
Share  Little  3  Title 


The  Williams  freshman  basket- 
ball team  closed  out  an  impressive 
season  Saturday  night  defeating 
Amherst  77-68  to  gain  a  tie  with 
Wesleyan  for  the  Little  Three  title. 

In  the  first  period,  the  Ephlets 
jumped  off  to  a  quick  ten  point 
lead  only  to  have  Amherst  quick- 
ly reverse  the  margin  in  their  own 
favor.  At  the  half  time  break, 
however,  Williams  had  narrowed 
the  gap  to  one  point  and  trailed 
only  39-38. 

During  almost  the  entire  second 
period  the  game  was  a  matter  of 
trading  baskets  with  neither  team 
able  to  gain  a  controlling  lead. 
With  about  six  minutes  left  to 
play,  the  fro.sh  began  to  pull  a- 
head.  With  a  four  point  lead  in 
the  final  minutes  Coach  Bobby 
Coombs  called  for  ball  control. 
Led  by  the  ball  handling  of  Jim 
Kramer,  the  freshmen  dominated 
play  while  Increasing  their  margin 
to  nine  points. 

John  Amerling  led  Williams  in 
the  scoring  department  with  a 
fine  showing.  Play  maker  -  co- 
captain  Kramer  and  consistently 
productive  Tom  Thornhlll  each 
contributed  16  points  to  the  fresh- 
men effort. 

This  final  win  gives  the  Eph- 
lets a  fine  10-2  record,  their  only 
defeats  coming  against  Spring- 
field and  Wesleyan.

By  Kurtz  and  Rawls 

Showing  exceptional  all-around 
strength,  the  frosh  swim  team  last 
Wednesday  broke  five  records 
while  downing  Hotchkiss,  55-40. 
The  medley  relay  of  Al  Kirkland, 
Lew  Sears,  Tony  Ryan,  and  Bob 
Duplessis  knocked  three-tenths  of 
a  second  off  the  old  record  of 
1:48.0.  Ryan  chopped  time  off  his 
record  in  the  100  butterfly 
with  56.8.  Jim  Rider  toured  the 
100  freestyle  in  51.8.  Kirkland  was 
next  with  a  1 :00.0  backstroke  time. 
Setting  a  pool  mark.  Soars  es- 
tablished a  new  frosh  record  with 
a  1:07.8  in  100  breaststroke.  Other 
point  winners  were  Doug  Stevens 
with  firsts  in  the  200  and  400  free- 
styles.  Tuck  Jones  with  first  in  the 
diving,  and  Ken  Kurtz  with  sec- 
onds in  the  50  and  100  freestyles. 

Little  Three  Champs 

Continuing  their  winning:  ways, 
the  freshmen  demolished  their 
Amherst  opponents  and  copped 
the  Little  Three  crown  with  an 
easier  than  expected  53-41  win, 
while  breaking  four  records  be- 
sides. Kirkland,  Sears,  Ryan,  and 
Staelln  another  medley  relay  rec- 
ord with  a  1:47.1  time.  Captain 
Jim  Rider  made  It  a  three-record 
day  for  himself,  finally  getting 
his  chance  to  break  the  freshman 
mark  in  the  200  freestyle,  turning 
the  race  in  1:54.3.  Rider  also 
cracked  a  second  off  his  week-old 
100  freestyle  record  with  50.7,  al- 
though losing  the  race  by  a  touch- 
out  to  Hill  of  Amherst.  He  finished 
by  chopping  one  of  the  two  re- 
maining records  when  he   led  off

Continuing  the  record  rampage, 
Ryan  chopped  his  100  butterfly 
record  to  56.4,  while  Stevens  turn- 
ed an  excellent  time  of  1:58.4  to 
complete  an  8  point  sweep  of  the 
200  free,  which  broke  the  Jeff's 
back.  Stevens  also  touched  first  in 
tile  400  freestyle,  only  to  be  dis- 
qualified and  therefore  supplanted 
by  teammate  Staelln.  Sears  won 
Uie  lOO  breaststroke  and  was  jud-

Kirkland  copped  the  100  back- 
stroke, while  Kurtz  grabbed  points 
with  a  second  and  third  in  the 
50  and  100  freestyles. 

Successful    Season 

This  season  must  be  chalked  up 
as  one  of  the  most  successful  for 
frosh  swimming  in  recent  years. 
Finishing  with  a  5-1  record,  the 
team  has  rewritten  the  record 
board  with  the  following  new 
marks. 


Bernheimer  Sets 
Pace  In  Squash 

Lenny  Bernheimer  paced  all 
Williams  representatives  in  the 
National  Squash  Intercollegiate 
Tournament,  which  was  played 
last  weekend  at  West  Point. 

Bernheimer  disposed  of  his  first 
opponents,  Lacey  of  Navy  and 
Moon  of  Amlierst,  rather  easily. 
He  was  then  knocked  out  by  Pitt's 
O'Loughlin,  seeded  fifth,  who  bow- 
ed in  the  next  round  to  the  even- 
tual runner-up,  second-seeded  Vic 
Niederhoffer  from  Hai-vard's  na- 
tional championship  squad. 

The  tournament  was  swept  im- 
pressively by  classy  Ralph  Howe 
of  Yale,  who  did  not  lose  a  single 
game  in  all  his  five  matches.  Tied 
for  third  were  two  other  members 
of  Yale's  great  team.  West  and 
Hetherington. 

Soph  Mike  Annison  had  the 
misfortune  to  draw  the  invincible 
Howe  in  the  first  round.  Seniors 
George  Kilborn  and  Brooks  God- 
dard,  the  other  Ephs  to  participate 
were  likewise  eliminated  early. 

Kilborn  made  the  best  showing 
in  the  Consolation  tournament  for 
first-round  losers.  He  won  two 
rounds  to  finish  in  a  tie  for 
fourth  place.  Annison  and  God- 
dard  each  won  once  in  the  Con- 
solation which  was  won  by  Sy- 
mington of  Princeton  over  Army's 
Oehrlein  brothers. 

Tournament  seeders  called  the 
shots  almost  perfectly.  The  only 
upset  winner  was  West,  who  sur- 
prised 4th-ranked  Satterwaithe  of 
Princeton  in  the  third  round.  Ev- 
erything else  went  "according  to 
plan."

Malcolm,  Goldsmith,  Kollender  Outstanding 
As  Frosh  Wrestlers  Lose,  19-8,  To  Jeffs 


Captain  Chip  Malcolm,  Jay 
Ooldsmith  and  Dave  Kollender 
were  the  only  Eph  frosh  wrestlers 
to  garner  points  as  the  Purple  fell 
before  Amherst  last  Saturday,  19- 
8. 

Malcolm  at  130  and  Goldsmith 
at  137  took  decisive  11-8  and  11-6 
victories,  while  Kollender  eked  out 
a  conservative  1-1  tie  at  147.  Gil 
Conrad  at  123,  Gil  WaUon  at  187

Ephs  Nab  Little  3  Title 
In  Overtime  Win.  60-58 


By  Dick  Dubow 

Recoveritig  from  a  mediocre 
first  half  performance,  the  Wil- 
liams cagers  erased  an  11  point 
deficit  Saturday  night,  to  post  a 
thrilling  60-88  win  over  arch-rival 
Amherst  and  capture  their  fourth 
consecutive  "Little  Three"  crown. 
A  capacity  crowd  sat  on  the  edge 
of  their  seats  in  Lasell  Gym  as 
co-captain  Dan  Voorhees  stepped 
to  the  line  with  1:44  remaining 
in  the  extra  session  and  calmly 
dropped  in  two  free  throws  for  the 
winning  points.  The  spine-tingling 
decision  brought  the  Ephs'  final 
seasons  record  to  13  wins  against 
6  defeats, 

Voorhees  Ties  It 

Amherst  controlled  the  game 
from  the  opening  tap,  until  a 
foul  shot  by  Voorhees  evened  the 
score  at  52-52  with  3:15  to  go  in 
regulation  play.  Sophomore  Dave 
Coolidge,  who  turned  in  a  spec- 
tacular job  in  the  closing  minutes 
of  play,  put  Williams  ahead  for

At  K.  Of  C.  Games 

Exceptionally  fine  quarter-mile 
legs  by  Karl  Neuse  and  John  Os- 
borne were  not  enough  to  salvage 
the  Winter  Belay  team  from  a 
fourth  place  finish  in  their  heat 
of  the  mile  relay  Friday  night  in 
the  New  York  Knights  of  Colum- 
bus Games. 

Both  Neuse  and  Osborne  ran 
their  best  races  of  the  year,  but 
they  were  unable  to  overcome  the 
team's  poor  start.  At  the  begin- 
ning. Boots  Deichman  attempting 
a  "box  start",  was  instead  him- 
self boxed,  and  forced  to  break 
stride.  An  agonizing  54.3  seconds 
later,  Deichman  finished  his  leg 
in  fourth  place,  20  yards  behind. 

Neuse  Threatens  Lead 

Neuse  ran  a  sensational  second 
leg  in  50.9  seconds,  and  was  with- 
in a  step  of  the  leader  at  the  end 
of  his  leg.  On  the  third  leg,  Phil 
McKnight  was  timed  in  52.4  in 
staying  with  the  pack,  but  finish- 
ing in  fourth  position. 

Anchorman  Osborne's  50.0  sec- 
ond quarter  was  the  best  by  an 
Ephman  this  year,  but  unable  to 
move  him  up  any  places.  The  time 
of  3:27.6  was  also  the  team's  best 
perfonnance  this  winter,  but  still 
far  off  the  school  record  of  3:23.3. 

The  final  assault  on  the  record 
by  seniors  Neuse,  Deichman  and 
Osborne  will  be  on  Saturday  at 
the  ICAAAA  Championships  at 
Madison  Square  Garden  in  New 
York. 


How  to  be  colorful -without  overdoing  it 


the  first  time  in  the  game  with  a 
long  20  foot  jump  shot. 

Bob  Wilson  countered  for  the 
Lord  Jeffs,  but  at  1:38  Coolidge 
hit  again  giving  the  Ephs  a  56-54 
edge.  Amherst  quickly  battled  back 
to  tie  the  score  on  a  one  liander 
by  Chuck  Sommers. 

Tension  grew  as  the  Purple  went 
into  their  patent  freeze,  holding 
on  for  the  last  shot.  However,  the 
Ephs  lost  possession  on  a  viola- 
tion, and  Amherst  called  time  with 
a  scant  two  seconds  remaining.  A 
long  three-quarter  court  heave  by 
Amherst  fell  sliorl  of  its  mark, 
sending  the  game  into  a  five  min- 
ute overtime. 

The  Jeffs  controlled  the  tap  and 
surged  back  into  the  lead  on  an 
other  hoop  by  Sommers.  The 
screaming  crowd  came  to  its  feet 
when  senior  Roger  Williams  tap- 
ped in  a  rebound  at  3:07  to  keep 
the  Purple's  hopes  alive.  Amherst, 
fighting  for  a  three  way  tie  in  the 
"Little  Three",  took  a  desperation 
shot  in  the  waning  minutes  and 
after  a  battle  under  the  boards, 
Williams  came  up  with  the  vital 
rebound,  setting  the  stage  for 
Voorhees. 

The  contest  was  by  no  means 
over,  as  Amherst  came  back  down 


Amherst  Matmen 
Beat  Ephs,  19-9 

The  Eph  varsity  wrestling  team 
closed  a  disappointing  2-6  season 
record  last  Saturday  by  losing  to 
Amherst,   19-9  in   an   away   meet. 

Strength  in  the  lower  weight.s 
gave  the  Purple  grapplers  a  9-3 
lead  in  the  first  four  matches, 
but  Jeff  power  and  experience  in 
the  upper  weights  told  the  final 
story,  Both  teams  had  previously 
lost  to  Wesleyan,  who  succeeded 
Williams  as  Little  Three  champs. 

Knowing  their  regular  123- 
pounder,  a  continual  loser  all  sea- 
son, could  not  defeat  Williams' 
John  Kifner,  the  Jeffs  pulled  a 
surprise  by  sweating  down  their 
second-string  130  matman.  The 
Amherst  grappler  rolled  up  points 
early  in  the  match,  but  ran  out 
of  steam  by  the  third  period.  Kif- 
ner could  not  make  up  the  deficit, 
however,  and  finished  on  the  short 
end  of  a  16-7  score. 

Bieber  Wins  Again 

Captain  Jim  Bieber  ran  his  sea- 
son record  to  5-1-2  with  a  tense, 
hard-contested  win  over  Rosenn, 
one  of  Amherst's  best,  at  130.  One 
point  for  riding  time  gave  Bieber 
the  8-7  decision,  knotting  the 
team  score  at  3-3. 

John  Winfield  dominated  his 
match  at  137  to  finish  with  an 
identical  record,  leading  all  the 
way  to  a  6-2  decision.  Pete  Freid- 
man,  only  recently  recovered  from 
a  leg  injury,  returned  to  his  early- 
season  form  with  a  fine  6-1 
trampling  of  his  opponent,  a  fel- 
low sophomore  in  the  147-pound 
class. 

With  the  score  at  9-3,  Art 
Wheelock  met  Schoepfer,  another 
highly-touted  Jeff  stalwart,  and 
was  fighting  to  stay   away   from 


the  court.  A  onc-hander  from  be- 
hind the  key  missed  its  murk,  and 
the  taller  Ephs  again  pulled  down 
the  key  rebound.  Pete  Obourn  led 
Williams  in  a  freeze,  but  the  Pur- 
ple were  not  able  to  retain  pos- 
session. The  hustling  Eph  defense 
then  began  to  rattle  Amherst's  at- 
tack and  with  six  seconds  left  llie 
Jeffs  threw  the  ball  out  of  bounds 
By  the  time  Williams  had  pui  the 
ball  in  play  it  was  all  over  and 
the  "Little  Three"  crown  was  .sate 
in  the  hands  of  the  Ephmen. 

Ephs  Drag  In  First  Half 

The  disasterous  opening  iwenty 
minutes  wore  a  complete  rever.sal 
of  the  second  half  Williams  rally. 
Unable  to  penetrate  the  Jeffs' 
stubborn  2-1-2  zone  defen.se.  the 
Purple  fell  victim  to  early  Amherst 
leads  of  4-0  and  9-6.  Dave  Holmes, 
Bob  Wilson,  and  Bill  Pite  sparked 
the  fast  moving  Jeffs'  attack  to  a 
solid  33-20  spread. 

The  Williams  defense  completely 
lacked  any  signs  of  hustle,  as  Am- 
herst hit  on  long  outside  bombs 
and  driving  lay-ups.  Only  the  ton- 
sistant  shooting  of  Roger  William,s 
kept  the  contest  from  becoming  a 
complete  rout.  The  Ephs  trailed 
33-22  at  the  half. 

Williams  paced  all  scorers  with 
24  points.  Voorhees  and  Obourn 
added  14  and  10  respectively  to- 
ward the  winning  cause,  Pite, 
Sommers,  and  Holmes  combined 
for  40  points  to  lead  Amherst.

Howard  Misses  Matcli 

Geof  Howard,  the  Eph  first-

reach  the  match  in  time,  and 
Coach  Pete  DeLisser  threw  .soph 
Tim  Watterson  into  the  breacli. 
He  lasted  only  a  little  over  two 
minutes  with  Amherst's  Lom- 
bardo,  putting  Williams  behhid 
for  the  first  time.

knee  and  arm  injuries,  could  i)ut 
up  only  small  resistance  to  tall,

Administration  To  Publish  Expose 
On  Life  And  Love  In  New  Houses 

The  Administration  is  about  to  make  public  an  .-xtensivo 
(inestioiinane  directed  at  an.werinjr  many  of  the  most  pressing 
imiuiries  of  Freshmen  and  upperclassinen  with  rcsiard  to  tiic 
character  and  composition  of  the  new  hou.ses 

Alonjr  with  tlie  query  sheet  will  be  an' explanation  of  the 
nature  and  scope  of  the  Steerinjr  Committees  for  the  honses. 
Members  of  these  two  committees  have  already  been  .selected  from 
those  who  have  thus  far  manifested  special  interest  in  the  honses 
These  committees  will  direct  their  efforts  at  the  details  of  organi- 
zational procedure  ranging  from  financial  policy  to  juke  bo.xes 
and  coke  machines.  A  special  auxiliary  Food  Committee  is  also 
planned  to  study  the  intricacies  of 
dining  facilities  and  quality. 

The  Administration  states  that 
"it  is  planned  that  visiting  hours 
for  lady  guests  would  not  be  dif- 
ferent from  those  prevailing  in 
fraternities."  Costs  in  the  new 
houses  win  be  roughly  paralled  to 
Fi'eshman  year,  with  any  sort  of 
social  taxes  to  be  decided  by  each 
living  unit. 

Upperclassmen  will  definitely  be 
able  to  retain  rooms  in  the  build- 
ings presently  planned  to  be 
houses,  and  such  people  may  also 
retain  membership  in  any  frater- 
nity to  which  they  presently  be- 
long, but  they  must  pay  room  and 
board  to   the  College. 

At  the  suggestion  of  the  Steer- 
InR  Committees  a  number  of  Fac- 
ulty AssociHos  will  be  voluntarily 
affiliated  with  the  hou.ses  with  un- 
limited eating  privileges.  There 
may  in  the  future  be  faculty  in 
residence  in  the  houses,  though 
this  is  completely  at  the  discretion 
of  the  house  and  does  not  entail 
any  disciplinary  duties. 

For  the  present  there  will  con- 
tinue to  be  a  Non-Affiliate  group 
which  will  enjoy  the  usual  facili- 
ties of  Baxter  Hall.  The  student 
composition  of  the  houses  will  be 
comprised  largely  of  present 
Freshmen  and  assorted  present 
Non-Affiliates  and  such  fraterni- 
ty members  as  should  manifest 
Interest  in  the  new  system.

tion of  books  owned  and  assim- 
ilated by  an  undergraduate  at 
Williams  College,  was  announced 
recently  by  H.  Richard  Archer, 
chairman  of  the  selection  com- 
mittee. 

The  collections  must  be  between 
twenty  and  sixty  titles.  The  dead- 
line for  entries  is  Monday,  March 
15.  Further  details  may  be  obtain- 
ed from  Mr.  Archer  in  the  Chapin 
Library.  Jurors  are:  Robert  J.  Al- 
len, chairman  of  the  English  de- 
partment; Sumner  Ford  '08;  and 
Leonard  B.  Sehlosser  '46.  If  the 
winner  is  a  senior,  he  is  eligible 
for  the  Amy  Loveman  Award,  a 
national  prize  of  $1000. 

All  regularly  enrolled  students 
of  Williams  are  eligible  for  the 
contest.  The  jurors  will  hold  a 
preliminary  and  final  selection  of 
applicants  with  the  winning  col- 
lection to  be  exhibited  in  the 
Chapin  Library  from  April  15  to

Ephs  To  Participate 
In  Exchange  Program 
With   Morehouse 


Six  Williams  undergraduates 
have  been  chosen  to  participate 
la  the  Gargoyle-sponsored  ex- 
change program  with  Atlanta's 
Negro  Morehouse  College.  They 
are:  Jim  Pilgrim  '63,  Rich  Lyon 
'64,  Steve  Block  '65,  Lee  Rich- 
mond '65,  Warren  Brodhead  '66, 
and  Andreas  E^hete   '66. 

The  six  Ephs  will  leave  for  the 
South  on  March  23.  They  will 
stay  at  Morehouse  for  a  week  go- 
ing to  classes,  participating  in 
whatever  activities  are  planned 
for  them,  and  soaking  up  the  at- 
mosphere that  the  progressive 
Southern  city  has  to  offer. 

Boyd  Speaks 

Bill  Boyd  '63,  chairman  of  the 
special  Gargoyle  committee  that 
arranged  the  exchange,  analyzed 
the  program  as  providing  the  op- 
portunity to  "experience  the  un- 
ique life  of  a  Southern  Negro  col- 
lege, to  come  in  contact  with  a 
different  curriculum,  and  to  live 
in  the  exciting  atmosphere  that 
characterizes  the  South  today." 

Boyd  also  emphasized  the  im- 
portance of  the  Morehouse  stu- 
dents' visit  to  Williams.  The  pre- 
sence of  Southern  Negroes  on  the 
Williams  campus  should  provide 
new  insights  into  the  problems  of 
the  South,  he  said. 

Atlanta,  one  of  the  first  cities 
to  peacefully  comply  with  the  1954 
Supreme  Court  decision,  has  re- 
cently made  headlines  as  the  re- 
sult of  a  wall  that  has  been  con- 
structed to  keep  Negroes  out  of  an 
all-white  neighborhood. 


Kershaw  Outlines  Tax  Revision  Plan 


By  Doug  Rose 

The  economists,  if  not  the  ec- 
onomy, are  moving  again  to  a 
Student  Union  luncheon  group. 
Economics  Professor  Joseph  A. 
Kershaw  explicated  the  tax  cut 
and  tax  reform  plans  that  the 
Kennedy  economists  have  present- 
ed  to   Congress. 

Seeing  the  present  tax  system 
as  a  "brake  on  the  economy,"  the 
tax  revision  advocates,  according 
to  Kershaw,  envision  a  large  tax 
cut  as  a  spur  to  the  growth  rate 
and  a  way  in  which  to  solve  un- 
employment. 

Unemployment  High 

"The  economy  has  been  slack" 
pointed  out  Kershaw,  citing  the 
present  6  per  cent  unemployment 
rate.  The  prevailing  "acceptable" 
figure  for  unemployment  is  4  per 
cent.    Since    the    gross    national 


product  has  been  growing  only  2.7 
per  cent  a  year,  many  economists 
and  politicians  feel  that  tax  re- 
vision Is  the  panacea. 

Kershaw  set  up  more  consumer 
and  business  spending  and  more 
Investment  incentive  as  goals.  In 
outlining  the  tax  revision  needed 
to  meet  these  goals,  Kershaw  was 
optimistic  about  the  chances  for 
a  sizable  tax  cut.  Some  of  the  tax 
reform,  however,  "doesn't  have  a 
prayer"  of  getting  through  Con- 
gress. 

The  tax  cuts  will  chop  the  cur- 
rent rate  range  of  20-91  per  cent 
to  14-65  per  cent  within  three 
years.  Corporate  taxes  during  that 
time  will  be  cut  from  52  per  cent 
to  47  per  cent.  This  will  entail 
a  total  reduction  of  20  per  cent 
and   will    drop    Federal    Govern-

mental  income  by  13.6  billion  dol- 
lars. 

The  tax  reforms  are  designed 
to  procure  an  overall  increase  in 
Federal  income  of  3.4  billion  dol- 
lars. Reforms  Include  aid  to  hard- 
ship cases  and  the  aged.  "Special 
interests",  generated  by  the  pre- 
sent tax  structure,  are  likely  to 
prevent  "base-broadening"  re- 
forms. 

Some  reforms  closing  "loop- 
holes" in  the  tax  system  such  as 
oil  depletion  allowances  and  item- 
ized reductions  for  sickness,  gifts, 
etc.  al.,  are  highly  "unpopular" 
emphasized  Kershaw. 

"The  danger,"  thinks  Kershaw, 
"is  that  the  cuts  will  be  so  small 
that  they  will  have  no  effect  upon 
the  slackness  of  the  economy." 
Kershaw  guesses  an  effective  tax 
cut  would  rmi  around  ten  bil- 
lion dollars  for  three  years.  "A 
small,  ineffective  tax  cut  would 
tend  to  discredit  the  basically 
sound  policy  of  an  economy  boost- 
ing tax  cut,"  warned  Kershaw.

OdettaTicketsRefund 

Opportunity  will  be  made  to 
cash  in  any  remaining  Odetta 
tickets  Monday  evening,  March 
U  in  the  Student  Union  from 
7:30  till  9  o'clock.  The  an- 
nouncement was  made  by 
Sophomore  Class  President 
Dick  Tresch.  About  one-third 
of  the  tickets  are  still  outstand- 
ing. Their  redemption  will  leave 
the  sophomore  class  with  an 
estimated  $400  deficit  for  the 
Winter  Carnival  weekend.  The 
College  Committee  on  Finance 
will  presumably  absoi-b  the 
debt.  Although  Odetta  has  of-

been  made. 


Buchart  Praises  Frat  Brotherhood ; 
Frosh  Fraternize  In  Baxter  Hall 

Operating  on  the  theory  of  "equal  time  for  all  parties,"  Scott 
Huchart  '64  spoke  to  the  Freshman  class  in  their  dining  room, 
on  Tne,sday  iiiKht  on  the  values  of  belonj^injf  to  a  fraternity. 
This  speech  followed  by  a  week  the  attempt  by  President  Saw- 
yer to  assuage  any  doubts  which  Freshmen  might  have  con- 
cerning the  future  of  the  fraternities, 

Buchart  attempted  to  articulate,  after  conceding  that  his 
vocabulary  failed  him  in  such  cases,  the  virtues  of  brotherhood, 
citing  such  factors  as  horizontal  hallways  and  social  activities 
as  being  conducive  to  unity. 

This  sj)e('ch  and  the  speech  by  President  Sawyer  were  ad- 

missions  of  the  Importance  of  the 
decisions  which  the  freshmen 
make  as  to  their  future.  The  col- 
lege is  counting  on  a  sizable  num- 
ber joining  the  social  unit,  while 
I  lie  fraternities  hope  to  maintain 
lull  pledge  classes  next  fall. 

Buchart  insisted  that  the  fresh- 
men were  receiving  a  distorted 
impression  of  fraternities,  noting 
that  the  houses  were  becoming 
"scapegoats"  for  other  faults  in 
the  academic  process.  He  said  that 
houses  were,  unlike  their  predeces- 
sors, stressing  academic  excellence. 
Fraternity  Value 
In  asserting  the  importance  of 
fraternity  values  for  an  under- 
graduate, Buchart  elaborated  on 
the  evolution  of  fraternities,  from 
the  old-time  houses  of  the 
dissipated  stereotype,  into  con- 
trolled and  rewarding  institutions. 
He  said,  for  example,  that  there 
was  less  mayhem  and  property 
damage  in  a  fraternity  than  there 
is  in  any  dormitory. 
Buchart  also  disagreed  with  the

Cluett  Program  Features  Yugoslavia; 
Ostracanin  Recounts  History,  Culture 

bij  Rick  Conleti 

At  the  completion  of  an  elaborate  Tuesday  night  tmkey 
dinner,  some  three  score  of  Williams  students,  faculty  families, 
foreign  students,  Cluett  Fellows,  and  even  representatives  of  the 
Administration  moved  into  the  frescoed  main  room  of  the  Center 
for  Development  Economics  for  one  of  the  little-publicized  but 
well-attended  regular  Cluett  lectures.  Mr.  Miodrag  Ostracanin 
s|)oke  to  an  attentive  and  good-humored  audience  for  half  an 
hour  on  the  to|5ic,  "Yugoslavia:  Problems  and  Prospects." 

From  the  sjieaker,  who  has  spent  half  his  life  in  each  of 
the  main  parts  of  our  divided  world,  came  the  theme  that,  "The 
problem  of  our  time  is  that  we  don't  know  and  understand  each 
other."  The  evening,  was  devoted  to  opening  up  a  land  arid 
culture  to  people  of  varying  backgrounds  and  outlooks. 

Ostracanin's  summary  rundown  of  the  vital  statistics  of  his 
homeland  met  with  laughter-laden  a]iproval  from  the  audience. 
Yugoslavia  is  a  federated  state  of  eighteen  and  a  half  million 
people,  six  re)3ublics,  five  "nations",  four  languages,  three  reli- 
gions and  two  alphabets.  Within  tht  same  natioiuil  borders,  yet 
only  forty  miles  from  the  speaker's  town,  live  people  whose  lan- 
guage he  cannot  understand. 


Extra  Show  Set 
For  'Threepenny^ 

There  will  be  a  special  matinee 
on  Saturday  afternoon  of  the  pro- 
duction of  The  Threepenny  Opera 
currently  running  at  t  h  e  AMT. 
The  performance,  scheduled  be- 
cause of  an  overwhelming  demand 
for  tickets,  will  have  its  curtain 
at   2:30   p.m. 

This  production  played  to  two 
packed  houses  in  Its  two  perfonn- 
ances  last  weekend,  and  S.B.O. 
crowds  are  expected  again  this 
weekend.  The  sellout  of  the  week- 
end performances  necessitated  the 
extra  show. 


It  is  estimated  that  the  Brecht- 
Welll  version  will  play  to  some- 
thing   more    than    2700    people. 


The  name  Yugoslavia  means 
"the  southern  Slavic  peoples."  Or- 
iginally the  Slavs  came  to  their 
present  home  from  the  Russian 
plains,  and  since  that  time  they 
have  been  under  the  domination 
of  the  Pranks,  Byzantium,  and 
Turkey.  Only  in  the  relatively  re- 
cent past  has  the  nation  become 
truly   Independent. 

Following  the  horrors  of  the 
Second  World  War,  their  ration- 
ing and  collectivization  were  in- 
stituted by  the  Yugoslavs  to 
strengthen  their  sick  economy,  but 
lately  the  government  has  been 
trying  to  decentralize  more,  both 
politically  and  economically,  giv- 
ing as  much  encouragement  as 
possible  to  private  enterprise.

LET  THE  FRATERNITIES  SPEAK  FOR  THEMSELVES,  which  is  what  they  are 
doing  in  this   picture,   taken   lost  week  in   Baxter  Hall.  __^^^^ 

A  Ringside  Commentary 

The  speech  which  Scott  Buchart  presented  to  the  freshmen 
earlier  this  week  was  the  .latest  in  a  succession  of  speeches  which 
seem  intent  on  furthering  the  cause  of  the  opposition.  Neither  the 
administration  nor  the  fraternities  seems  capable  of  mustering  a 
coherent,  on  one  side,  or  articulate,  on  the  other,  argument  to  sup- 
port their  respective  "ideologies".  Each  is  its  own  worst  en- 
emy, so  it  seems. 

The  unfortunate  parties  in  the  whole  affair  are  the  freshmen, 
who  wait  hopefully  for  The  Answer,  but  receive  nothing  more  than 
meandering  rhetoric,  which  only  leaves  them  more  befuddled  than 
they  were  at  the  beginning  of  the  year.  Perhaps  they  might  better 
have  been  left  to  their  own  devices,  for  it  now  appears  that  they 
are  more  hopelessly  confused  than  ever. 

The  substance  of  Buchart's  speech  was,  as  one  could  expect, 
that  fraternities  are,  by  and  large,  "a  good  thing,"  institutions  worth 
retaining.  Buchart's  speech,  while  it  contained  one  good  point,  con- 
sisted mainly  of  halting  generalities,  distortions,  half-truths  and 
what  we  will  charitably  call  serious  misconceptions,  most  of  which 
are  obvious  to  every  upperclassman  and  which  should  be  apparent 
even  to  the  freshmen. 

To  state  that  a  rushee,  upon  joining  a  house,  is  suddenly  seized 
with  the  all-consuming  and  mystical  love  called  "Brotherhood,"  in 
the  throes  of  which  one  loves  everybody,  is  pure  nonsense.  Human 
nature,  not  to  sound  profound,  simply  doesn't  agree  with  this:  post- 
rushing  euphoria  fades  quickly,  leaving  the  pledge  to  his  realization 
that  the  brothers  are  not,  to  a  man,  Grecian  heroes,  but  merely 
human  beings,  some  of  whom  are  pleasant,  others  of  whom  are  not. 
In 'short,  when  the  house  throws  a  party,  everybody  does  not  go. 

The  statement  that  there  is  less  damage  in  a  fraternity  than 
in  a  dormitory  is  fallacious,  human  nature  again  toeing  what  it  is. 
Any  house,  particularly  after  one  of  those  "shows"  for  which  they 
are  justly  famous,  is  a  shambles  which  must  be  cleaned  up  and  paid 
for,  just  as  in  a  dormitory.  Fraternity  exuberance  and  their  sense  of 
responsibility  to  the  house  occasionally  leads  them  to  attack  college 
property  instead,  Greylock  Hall  being  a  particular  target.  The  one 
advantage  is  that  the  fraternity  policies  on  damage  are  far  less  sev- 
ere than  the  absurd  scale  of  fines  which  cover  dormitory  damage. 
To  say  that  such  fraternity  institutions  as  a  malevolent  Hell 
Week  are  things  "of  the  past"  is  to  invade  the  issue;  the  past  was, 
to  be  precise,  last  year,  when  one  house  was  put  on  social  probation 
for  three  months  after  an  unduly  harsh  Hell  Week.  Moreover,  this 
house  was  quite  justified  in  complaining  that  they  were  acting  as  a 
scapegoat  for  the  other  houses,  which  had  also  broken  the  Hell 
Week  agreement.  The  irony  is,  of  course,  that  the  Hell  Week  reg- 
ulations were  drawn  up  by  the  houses  and  then  promptly  broken, 
an  act  of  hypocrasy  which  does  not  speak  well  for  the  often  praised 
"fraternity  responsibility."  Several  houses  which  have  acted  in  an 
intelligent  manner  in  such  activities  are  unfortunately  outnum- 
bered, but  they  arc  excepted  from  any  criticisms  which  we  may 
make. 

We  understand  that  dirty  rushing  Is  l)elng  conducted  on  a  more 
concerted  and  organized  basis  than  in  past  years.  But  a  house  still 
cannot,  barring  package  deals,  which  are  forbidden  under  the  Rush- 
ing Agreement,  again  drawn  up  by  the  houses,  guarantee  a  rushee 
that  he  can  know  with  certainty  with  whom  he  will  be  living.  The 
IBM  machine  still  has  a  few  tricks  up  its  mechanical  sleeve,  all  of 
which  make  the  selection  period  a  chancy  one  for  any  rushee. 

The  one  good  point  which  Buchart  made,  and  one  which  should 
be  given  immediate  attention,  was  In  the  statement  that  the  fraterni- 
ties are  noting  as  scapegoats  for  faults  which  exist  elsewhere  in  the 
academic  process.  As  we  said  in  THE  RB<X)BD  last  week,  the  bad 
things  which  people  see  in  fraternities  are  not  the  cause,  but  rather 
the  effects  of  these  faults.  Abolishing  the  fraternities  will  not  act 
as  a  panacea  for  the  troubles  caused  by  such  things  as  the  re- 
strictive curriculum  and  the  oppressive  cut  system.  If  the  college  is 
sincere  in  its  attempts  to  bring  Williams  to  the  threshold  of  the  20th 
century  .other  reforms  should  follow  in  quick  order,  lest  the  symptoms 
be  cured  while  the  disease  is  left  untouched.

The  college  community 
was  saddened  to  learn  of 
the  4eath  of  Edward  D.  Pal- 
mer '65  on  Tuesday  morning. 
Palmer,  19,  died  as  the  re- 
sult of  an  unspecified  illness 
at  the  Albany  Medical  Cen- 
ter in  Albany,  New  York. 

Palmer,  who  lived  in 
Sllngerlands,  N.  Y.,  was  a

Letters 

Baier  *  Corrects' 
White's  Demand 
For  Clariiication 

To  the  Editor: 

In  the  March  18,  1963  issue  of 
the  Williams  Record  there  ap- 
peared a  letter  written  by  Philip 
V.  White,  '66.  In  this  letter,  there 
was  a  serious  misconception  as  to 
present  college  policy.  He  stated 
that  "the  class  of  '66  is  to  be  the 
last  class  to  rush."  In  his  reply 
to  Mr.  White's  letter,  President 
Sawyer  failed  to  correct  this  very 
important  misconception  of  fact. 
At  present  the  college  has  not  of- 
ficially said  that  there  will  not  be 
rushing  for  those  classes  follow- 
ing the  class  of  '66. 

Sincerely, 
Leigh  Baier  '63 
Vice-President,  UCBIWC 


Our  usually  reliable  sources  in 
Hopkins  Hall  inform  us  that  there 
will  be  some  sort  of  rushing  for 
whatever  houses  choose  to  con- 
tinue as  purely  social  organ- 
izations. There  will  be  no  rushing 
for  the  houses  as  they  exist  now.

For  Equal  Privileges 

To  the  Editor  of  the  Record: 

Maybe  Phil  White  knew  some- 
thing I  didn't,  because  I  laughed 
when  I  heard  his  term  "the  un- 
happy plight  of  the  non-affiUate." 
I  am  a  non-affiliate,  by  choice, 
and  will  remain  one,  by  choice.  I 
have  never  considered  my  plight 
unhappy,  less  luxurious  than  a 
brother's  perhaps,  but  happy 
nonetheless.  Now,  I  hear  rumors 
which  will,  if  they  represent  fact, 
not  make  my  plight  unhappy,  but 
perhaps  unnecessarily  limited. 

According  to  campus  scuttlebut, 
which  I  would  appreciate  seeing 
refuted  by  President  Sawyer  or 
his  "problem  man",  D.  Gardner, 
members  of  the  new  "social  units" 
will  have  certain  privileges  that 
"non-affiliates"  will  not.  I  am  re- 
ferring to  dorm  hours,  and  pet 
privileges.  In  one  sense  this  is 
good.  It  shows  that  the  college  is 
slowly  coming  to  a  more  realistic 
view  on  non-vicious  beastles  and 
on  the  social  habits  of  the  Wil- 
liams community,  and  not  a  mo- 
ment too  soon,  either!  But,  why 
should  these  rights  be  restricted  to 
the  "social  units"  and  to  the 
houses  (which  already  have 
them)  ?  This  seems  a  rather  cheap, 
dishonest  way  of  "selling"  the 
social  unit.  Is  the  non-affiliate  to 
be  punished  for  not  leaping  at 
this  manifestation  of  the  Williams 
New  Frontier?  Or  perhaps  the 
college  was  planning  to  allow 
non-affiliates  who  reject  the  idea 
of  the  New  Frontier,  but  who 
have  shown  themselves  capable  of 
living  In  civilized  society  (some- 
thing more  to  be  judged  from 
summer  jobs  than  from  here,  I 
would  guess) ,  the  privilege  of  find- 
ing lodging  somewhere  off  cam- 
pus? 

Yours  truly,

HAIL  TO  THE  DEAN  I 

Today  let  us  examine  that  much  maliRned,  widely  mi.sunder- 
stood,  grossly  overworked,  wholly  dedicated  campus  figure— 
the  dean. 

The  dean  (from  the  Latin  Deanere— to  expel)  is  not,  as  many 
think,  primarily  a  disciplinary  officer.  He  is  a  counselor  and 
guide,  a  haven  and  refuge  for  the  troubled  student.  The  dean 
(from  the  Greek  Deanos— to  skewer)  is  characterized  chiefly  by 
sympathy,  wisdom,  patience,  forbearance,  and  a  fondn&ss  for 
homely  pleasures  like  community  singing,  farina,  spelldowns, 
and  Marlboro  Cigarettes.  The  dean  (from  the  German  Deangc- 
macht—U)  poop  a  party)  is  fond  of  Marlboros  for  the  s.anie 
reason  that  all  men  of  good  will  are  fond  of  Marlboros— Ijecause 
Marlboro  is  an  honest  cigarette.  Those  good  Marlboro  tobaccos 
are  honestly  good,  honestly  aged  to  the  peak  of  iwrfection,  hon- 
estly blended  for  tiie  best  of  all  possible  flavors.  Marllioro 
honestly  comes  in  two  different  containers— a  soft  pack  which 
is  honestly  soft  and  a  Flip-Top  box  which  honestly  flips.  You 
too  will  flip  when  next  you  try  an  honest  Marlboro,  which,  one 
honestly  hopes,  will  be  soon. 


But  I  digress.  We  were  learning  how  a  dean  helps  poor, 
troubled  undergraduates.  To  illustrate,  let  us  take  a  typical 

case  from  the  files  of  Dean  S of  the  University  of  Y 

(Oh,  why  be  so  mysterious?  The  dean's  name  is  Sigafoos  and 
the  University  is  Yutah.) 

Wise,  kindly  Dean  Sigafoos  was  visited  one  day  by  a  fresh- 
man named  Walter  Aguincourt  who  came  to  ask  permission  to 
marry  one  Emma  Blenheim,  his  dormitory  laundress.  To  the 
dean  the  marriage  seemed  ill-advised,  for  Walter  was  only  18 
years  old  and  Emma  was  91.  Walter  agreed  with  the  dean,  but 
said  he  felt  obligated  to  go  through  with  it  because  Emma  had 
invested  her  life  savings  in  a  transparent  rainhood  to  protect 
her  from  the  mist  at  Niagara  Falls,  where  they  planned  to  spend 
their  honeymoon.  If  Walter  called  off  the  wedding,  what  use 
would  the  poor  woman  possibly  have  for  a  rainhood  in  Yutah? 
The  wise,  kindly  dean  pondered  briefly  and  came  up  with  a 
brilliant  answer:  let  Walter  punch  holes  in  the  back  of  Emma's 
steam  iron.  With  steam  billowing  back  at  the  old  lady,  she 
would  find  a  rainhood  very  useful— possibly  even  essential. 

Whimpering  with  gratitude,  Walter  kissed  the  dean's  Phi 
Beta  Kappa  key  and  hastened  away  to  follow  his  advice— and 
the  results,  I  am  plea.scd  to  report,  were  madly  successful  I 

Today  Emma  is  a  happy  woman— singing  lustily,  wearing 
her  rainhood,  eating  soft-center  chocolates,  and  ironing  clothes 
—twice  as  happy,  to  be  candid,  than  if  she  had  married  Walter 
. .  .  And  what  of  Walter?  He  is  happy  too.  Freed  from  his  un- 
wanted liaison  with  Emma,  he  married  a  girl  much  nearer  his 
own  age-Agnes  Yucca,  72.  Walter  is  now  the  proud  father- 
stepfather,  to  be  perfectly  accurate— of  three  fine,  healthy 
boys  from  Agnes's  first  marriage -Everett,  38;  Wilhelm,  43; 
and  Irving,  56— and  when  Walter  puts  the  boys  on  a  lead  and 
takes  them  for  a  stroll  in  the  park  on  Sunday  afternoon,  you 
may  be  sure  there  is  not  a  dry  eye  in  Yutah. 

And  Dean  Sigafoos?  He  too  is  happy -happy  to  spend  long, 
tiring  hours  in  liia  little  office,  giving  counsel  without  stint  and 
without  complaint,  doing  his  bit  to  set  the  young,  uncertain 
feet  of  his  charges  on  the  path  to  a  brighter  tomorrow.

To  the  editor: 

In  his  glib  performance  before 
the  freshmen  last  night,  Mr.  Bu- 
chart  was  guilty  of  more  misrep- 
resentations, half-truths  and  dis- 
tortions than  can  be  noted  here. 
Some  of  the  more  interesting: 

1.  The  problems  involved  in 
getting  to  know  people  in  adjoin- 
ing entries  of  the  new  social  units 
were  presented  as  insurmountable; 
the  extent  to  which  the  fraterni- 
ties are  isolated  from  one  an- 
other was  dismissed  as  negligible. 

2.  "House  unity"  was  presented 
as  an  unmixed  blessing ;  but  room- 
ing groups  in  the  social  units 
were,  he  said,  bound  to  become 
cliques.  (Is  the  UCBIWC  phalanx 
which  appears  at  freshman  meet- 
ings   a  clique?) 

3.  Prof.  Green  was  quoted  out 
of  context  as  saying  that  the 
gentleman's  C  was  being  replaced 
by  a  B  minus.  Mr.  Buchart  also 
volunteered  (as  further  evidence 
that  the  fraternities  do  not  pre- 
sent an  academic  problem)  that 
Phi  Beta  Kappa  requirements 
have  recently  been  tightened.  This 
is  wholly  untrue:  recent  changes 
have  only  liberalized  admission  to 
PBK.  A  few  minutes  at  the  Reg-

islrar's  office  would  have  revealed 
the  following  about  fraternity  ac- 
ademic performance:  In  the  past 
five  semesters,  only  half  the  fra- 
ternities have  had  B-  averages 
(Mr.  Buchart's  own  house,  never.) 
This  semester,  only  four  houses 
have  averages  above  the  college 
upperclass  average. 

The  desire  of  the  freshmen  for 
enlightenment  atmut  the  new 
social  arrangements  is  perfectly 
proper;  but  I  cannot  help  think- 
ing that  they  would  have  been 
better  served  by  someone  with  a 
higher  regard  for  the  truth  than 
Mr.  Buchart  showed  himself  to 
have.

administration's  promise  to  per- 
mit groups  of  students  to  room 
together  in  the  social  units.  He 
claimed  that  fraternities  were  the 
only  places  where  a  student  could 
live  with  whomever  he  chooses, 
knowing  before,  after  the  two  final 
rushing  periods,  who  would  be  in

Rushing  In  Lounge 

Following  Buchart's  speech,  the 
freshmen  trouped  down  to  an  in- 
tensive rushing  period  in  the 
freshman  lounge.  More  than  50 
fraternity  members  were  present 
to  argue  their  cause  to  the  fresh-

Considering  the  Imminent  and 
eminent  possibility  of  a  budget 
deficit,  Kershaw  explained  that 
two  things  determme  the  tax  rev- 
enue: the  rate  of  taxes  and  the 
base  of  taxable  Income. 

While  the  rates  would  be  lower- 
ed, the  tax  cut  would,  by  stimulat- 
ing the  economy,  considerably  en- 
iarge  the  base  of  income.  Thus, 
the  larger  base  would  counterbal- 
ance the  reduced  rates. 

Temporary  increases  in  the  bud- 
get deficit  are  unavoidable  for  tax 
revision,  because  it  will  take  time 
for  the  economy  to  react  to  the 
reduced  tax  rates.  An  eleven  or 
twelve  billion  dollar  deficit  Is  pre- 
dicted for  fiscal  1964. 

Spur,  Not  Brake 

Labeling  the  current  tax  sys- 
tem a  "hangover  from  World  Wai 
II",  Kershaw  explained  that  It  was 
adopted  during  the  Korean  War, 
when  the  Federal  Government 
needed  large  amounts  of  money 
for  defense. 

The  present  structure  was  in- 
itiated as  r.  "brake  on  the  econ- 
omy" to  curb  Inflation  and  in- 
vestment. According  to  current 
administration  thinking,  a  "spur, 
not  a  brake"  on  the  economy  Is 
imperative. 

Economic  growth  is  viewed  as  a 
precondition  for  meeting  internal 
and  external  obligations:  raising 
the  standard  of  living  in  some  seg- 
ments of  the  country;  providing  a 
sufficient  defense  system;  giving 
adequate  foreign  aid.

Mermen  To  Defend  N.E.   Crown 
Bowdoin  Poses  Biggest  Threat 


Williams'  defending  cliamps  will 
head  a  field  of  fifteen  colleges  at 
the  New  England  Intercollegiate 
Swimming  Association  Champion- 
ships to  be  held  at  Southern  Con- 
necticut CoUoKe  in  New  Haven 
on  Thursday  through  Saturday. 

Featuring  three  individual  rec- 
ord holders  and  two  championship 
relays,  the  Ephs  will  receive  their 
strongest  threat  from  Bowdoin  to 
which  they  lost  48-47  in  a  dual 
meet. 

Connard  Leads  Ephs 

The  possessor  of  four  New 
England  records  himself,  Co-cap- 
tain Carroll  Connard  will  lead  the 
Eph  brigade,  Connard.  wlio  won 
the  220  yard  freestyle  last  year, 
and  who  currently  holds  N.E. 
marks  in  the  200  yard  frce.slylp, 
the  200  yard  butterfly  and  part 
of  the  400  yard  freestyle  and  400 
yard  medley  record.s,  will  mo.st 
likely  tour  in  the  200  yard  free- 


style, the  butterfly,  and  the  800 
yard  freestyle.  Each  swimmer  is 
limited  to  three  events. 

Co-captain  J.  P.  Moran  who 
last  year  ancliored  the  relays  and 
finished  second  in  tlie  100  yard 
freestyle,  is  expected  to  churn 
through  the  50  and  100  yard  free- 
style and  the  freestyle  relay. 

New  England  100  yard  butter- 
fly mo  longer  swum)  record  hold- 
er, Dave  Larry  will  most  likely 
go  in  the  50  and  100  yard  free- 
style sprints  and  a  relay.  Larry, 
the  only  active  N.E.  swimmer  to 
have  broken  the  50  second  barrier 
in  the  100,  (last  Saturday  he  did 
49.91  is  a  potential  record  break- 
er. 

Breaststroke  champ  John  Wcs- 
;(>r  will  be  out  to  break  his  200 
yard  record  of  2:26.8  which  he 
.set  on  this  occasion  last  year. 
Wester  will  also  bolster  the  med- 
ley relay. 


In  addition  to  the  defending 
champs.  Coach  Bob  Mulr  will 
have  plenty  of  reserve  strength. 
Breaststroker  Bill  Carter,  divers 
Dick  Holme  and  Mike  Finney, 
butterflyer  and  distance  freestyler 
Pete  Weber,  backstrokers  Jerry 
Bond  and  Put  Brown,  freestyler 
Sandy  Kasten  and  Individual  man 
Karl  Matthies  are  all  likely  point 
getters. 

Bowdoin  will  be  the  Eph's  chief 
rival.  Led  by  distance  ace  Pete 
Seaver,  sprinters  Tilton  and  Rob- 
inson, and  backstroker  Coots  as 
well  as  a  strong  medley  relay,  the 
Polar  Bears  finished  second  to 
Williams  last  year.  Bowdoin, 
which  has  topped  Williams  in 
head-on  collisions  the  past  two 
seasons  were  able  to  marshall  but 
48  as  compared  to  Williams  90  at 
Amherst  last  March.  Springfield 
and  Brown  should  provide  other 
top  competition.

John  Qepson  gave  DU  an  early 
1-0  lead  in  the  opening  minutes, 
but  Chi  Psi  quickly  rallied  for  two 
goals  in  the  first  period  to  ice 
the  game.  Bill  Hubbard  tied  it  up 
on  an  unassisted  goal  and  later 
Woody  Knight  tallied  on  a  pass 
from  Harry  Hagy  to  give  Chi  Psi 
the  lead. 

Hagy  then  scored  two  goals  in 
the  second  period,  and  Bob  Crit- 
chell  added  another  in  the  final 
period  for  a  5-1  Chipsie  lead, 
minutes  closed  the  scoring. 

Basketball 

In  the  intramural  basketball 
leagues,  a  post-season  show-down 
between  Phi  Sig  and  DU  for  the 
championship  seems  imminent, 
both  these  teams  remaining  unde- 
feated. 

Phi  Sig  clinched  their  division 
championship  this  week,  boosting 
their  season's  record  to  9-0  with 
easy  victories  over  Sig  Phi  and 
the  Faculty.  On  Monday,  Steve 
Bowling  led  a  scoring  parade,  net- 
ting 20  points  in  a  51-8  rout  of 
Sig  Phi.  Bill  Tuxbury  and  Skip 
Major  combined  for  another  25 
points,  and  were  aided  by  Curt 
Green,  Don  Parner  and  Tim 
Reichert  on  the  boards.

boast  a  strong  threat  with  Gordie

Milholland  in  the  forecourt,  and 
Bob  Stevens  and  Harry  Lum  at

Williams  Takes  New  England   Swimming   Championships 

Connard  Sets  Freestyle  And  Butterfly  Records 

By  Gary  MarlineUi  mjhu ^„„,.    ,,.      ...  ^ 


By  Gary  MarlineUi 

The  Williams  swlmmlny  leam, 
which  improved  remarkably  over 
the  season,  ended  in  a  blaze  of 
glory  by  winning  the  New  Eng- 
land Championships,  held  last 
weekend  in  the  Southern  Connec- 
ticut pool.  The  team  edged  the 
Bowdoln  swimmers  by  one  second 
in  the  final  relay  for  the  decisive 
points.  Six  N.  E.  marks  were  set. 

Williams  scored  71  points,  to  68 
for  second-place  Bowdoin,  to  pre- 
sent Coach  Bob  Muir  with  his 
fifteenth  New  England  title.  Co- 
captain  Carroll  Connard  led  the 
record-smashing  Ephs  by  breaking 
his  own  New  England  marks  in 
the  200-yard  freestyle  and  the  200- 
yard  butterfly.  Connard  also  an- 
chored the  final  relay. 


Williams  took  five  first  places 
in  the  three-day  meet  and  estab- 
lished three  New  England  records 
in  the  process.  The  team's  depth 
paid  off  for  Williams  as  the  team 
earned  points  in  all  but  three  of 
the  13  events.  There  were  15  teams 
entered  in  the  meet,  which  is  the 
high  point  of  every  swimming  .sea- 
son. 

Besides  Connard's  victories, 
first-place  points  were  piled  up  by 
frcestyler  Dave  Larry,  who  won 
the  50-yard  freestyle  and  John 
Wester  with  a  New  England  rec- 
ord breaking  performance  in  the 
200  yard  breaslslroko.  The  fifth 
first  was  the  crucial  four  hun- 
dred yard  free  style  relay  at  the 
end  of  the  meet. 


Bowdoin,  which  had  edged  Wil- 
liams 48-47  in  a  dual  meet  earlier 
in  the  season,  swam  to  an  earl.v 
lead  with  a  3:52.6  showing  in  tlu 
400  yard  medley  relay.  WiUiam.s 
placed  second. 

Connard  assaulted  the  record 
board  with  a  two  hundred  yard 
freestyle  tour  in  1:51.8,  a  .6  sec- 
ond improvement  over  his  1:52.4 
former  mark.  Eph  junior  Sandy 
Kasten  copped  sixth  while  Am- 
herst's Laurie  Osborne  ate  Con- 
nard's  foam  to   grab  second. 

Larry's  50  yard  freestyle  tri- 
umph continued  the  Purple  win- 
ning streak  in  fine  style  with  a 
time  of  22.6.  The  field  was  hot 
on  Larry's  heels,  led  by  W.P.I. '.s 
Bob  Rounds  who  toured  in  22.7.

Glee  Club  Concert  Cancelled  Over  Race  Issue 


THE  WILLIAMS  GLEE  CLUB,  directed  by   Robert  Barrow,   prepores   for  the 
spring  tour  which  was  suddenly  curtailed  due  to  Southern  feeling. 

Wilson  And  College  Fellows  Chosen; 
Five  In  Each  Y/in  Graduate  Grants 


Pour  Williams  Seniors  and  one 
alumnus  have  just  been  awarded 
Woodrow  Wilson  fellowships  for 
graduate  study  in  preparation  for 
leaching.  Two  received  honorable 
mention. 

The  five  are:  Gregory  M.  West, 
French;  Lice  P.  Pontanella,  Span- 
ish; Frank  W.  Lloyd  HI,  and  Rob- 
ert J.  Seidman,  English;  Williams 
M.  Vaughn  HI  ('62),  Economics. 
Honorable  mention  went  to  Wil- 
liam W.  Johnson  -  English,  and 
Morris  B.  Kaplan  -  philosophy. 

The  winners  are  five  of  the  1475 
students  who  will  receive  tuition 
and  fees,  plus  a  $1500  dependency 
allowance,  for  work  next  year  at 
the  graduate  school  of  their 
choice.  The  money  ($52,000,000 
since  1957)  comes  from  the  Ford 
Foundation. 

Last  Year's  Seven 

Williams  last  year  had  seven 
fellowships  and  10  honorable  men- 
tions. In  1961  the  college  had  five 
fellows  and  three  honorable  men- 
tions. 

The  three  other  colleges  in  the 
district  did  better  than  WUUams 
this  year;  Amherst  had  nine  fel- 
lows, three  honorable  mentions. 
Dartmouth  had  seven  with  three 
honorable  mentions,  Brandeis  had 
eight  with  nine  honorable  men- 
tions. 

The  winners  were  selected  from 
the  9,767  candidates  nominated  by 
faculty  at  907  colleges  in  the  U.S. 
and  Canada.  Most  were  in  the 
social  sciences  and  humanities 
though  309  were  scientists. 

Vaughn  is  presently  working  for 
the  Budget  Dept.  of  the  N.  Y. 
State  Government. 


The  Faculty  Committee  on 
Graduate  Fellowships  has  an- 
nounced the  awarding  of  five 
graduate  fellowships  to  members 
of  the  senior  class. 

Myong-Ku  Ahn  and  Scott  Ver- 
inis  received  Horace  P.  Clark  Prize 
Fellowships,  awarded  on  the  basis 
of  special  interest  in  scholarly  re- 
search. Ahn,  a  chemistry  major, 
plans  to  study  at  either  Yale  or 
Berkeley,  with  research  or  teach- 
ing in  chemistry  as  his  eventual 
goal.  Verinis,  who  is  majoring  in 
psychology,  will  probably  attend 
Northwestern,  and  hopes  to  be 
come  a  clinical  psychologist.  Both

The  Williams  Glee  Club  cancelled  its  scheduled  joint  concert  with  Mary  Wa.shin<!;ton  C^oUej^e 
ol  Fredericksburf^,  Virj^inia,  when  it  was  learned  that  housing,  feedinjf,  and  iociaj  arrans^cinents 
could  not  be  made  for  the  sini^infi;  group's  two  Negro  nienihers.  Mary  Wasiiini;;ton  is  the  women's 
college  of  the  University  of  Virginia.  The  concert,  which  was  to  take  place  on  tlie  l*'reclericksburg 
cam|)us,  was  to  be  part  of  die  glee  club's  southern  tour  during  sjiriug  recess.  The  concerts  with 
Hollins  college  of  Roanoke,  Virginia,  and  Goiicher  CJollege  of  Baltimore  will  he  held. 

Mary  Washington's  Chancellor,  Grellet  C.  Simj^son,  was  interviewed  by  the  RKCOUD  in  a 
telephone  call  made  to  his  residence.  Chancellor  Simpson,  former  Dean  of  the  Faculty  at  Ran- 
dolph-Macon, said  that  there  was  no  state  or  college  law  |)roliiI)iting  an  integrated  concert,  but 
that  the  social  aspect  of  entertaining  the  visiting  glee  club  raised  insunnoiuitahle  difficulties. 

"A  Respomihilitti  to  Prevent" 
Pointing  out  the  dilemma  of  emliarrassment  which  would  result  from  either  integrated  or  seg- 
regated activities,  Simpson  stated  that  "I  think  1  have  a  responsibility  to  i^revent  this."  Referring 
to  die  colored  singers  involved,  he  added,  "I  am  as  interested  in  not  letting  them  be  enibarra.ssed 
for  their  sake  as  for  ours."  Unless  "an  acceptable  social  situation"  existed,  he  considered  anv  i^ro- 
position  unfeasible. 

.Asked  to  comment  on  tbe  college's  )-)Osition  in  the  j^reseut  situation,  he  would  oulv  say  that  he 
had  approved  the  decision  to  notify  Williams.  He  stated  that,  though  Mary  Wa.shinglon  is  a  state  in- 
stitution, as  Chancellor  he  is  able  to  make  liis  own  decisions.  Referring  to  the  college'.s  governing 
board,  he  declared  that  "there  is  no  question   .  .   .  about  the  Board  of  \'isitors  iiolicv"  regarding 

integration.  Last  summer  the  col- 
lege admitted  a  Negro  day  student 
for  nursing  courses. 

Law  and  Better  Judgment 
Simpson  was  ahso  asked  if  Negro 
bands  are  allowed  to  perform  at 
college  dances.  He  replied  that  "I 
don't  think  we  have  had  (Negro 
bands  to  perform ) ,  but  .  .  .  the 
law  does  not  prohibit  this."  He 
further  stated  that  on  such  ques- 
tions two  factors  must  be  con- 
sidered: "one  is  the  law;  the  other 
is  better  judgment."  Often  "the 
wisest  course  of  action"  must  be 
followed  where  the  law  is  not 
explicit. 

The  issue  was  not  disclosed  un- 
til last  Thursday  when  the  glee 
club  was  told  of  the  situation. 
That  evening  the  board  of  direc- 
tors of  the  group  unanimously 
voted  to  cancel  the  concert.  The 
news  was  greeted  with  profound 
surprise  and  disappointment  by 
members  of  both  clubs  involved, 
but  under  the  circumstances  it  was

Davis  Taylor  Heads 
New  Unit  Committee 

Davis  Taylor,  '64,  was  elected 
interim  chairman  of  the  Steering 
Committee  for  the  first  two  resi- 
dential units  set  to  operate  in  the 
coming  fall.  The  Committee  is 
composed  of  Juniors,  Sophomores 
and  Freshmen  who  demonstrated 
early  interest  in  the  new  houses 

Junior  members  are:  Davis  Tay- 
lor, Bob  Oxnam,  Jay  Ogilvy,  Steve 
Doughty,  Pelrce  Hammond,  Harry 
Hlmmelman  and  Steve  Gillespie. 
Sophomores  are:  Tim  Lull,  Jay 
Davis,  Torrey  Orton,  Mike  McOill, 
Mike  Adams  and  Bill  Huie. 

The  Freshman  members  are:

Phil  Taylor,  Doug  Stevens,  Dave 
T^bls,  Bob  Duplessls,  Vernon  Kel- 
ly and  George  Piendak. 


Frosh  May  Tour   Frats 

by  Bill  Barry 
At  their  Monday  night  meeting,  the  members  of  the  CJollcge 
Council  voted  unanimously  to  approve  a  Social  Council  resolu- 
tion to  allow  the  freshmen  to  tour  the  fraternity  houses.  The 
Councils  cited  adequate  "precedence"  for  this  move,  while  mak- 
ing it  clear  that  they  intend  to  set  no  precedence  themselves. 

The  Freshman  Council  also  approved  the  resohition,  which 
permits  "freshman  visitation."  The  resolution  was  subnntted  yes- 
terday to  President  Sawyer,  who  has  con.sistently  opposed  any 
plan  to  allow  the  freshmen  to  enter  the  houses. 

Under  the  terms  of  the  resolution,  a  freshman  entry  will  be 
assigned  to  a  fraternity  house;  each  entry  will  tour  throvigh  only 
one  house.  Tlie  tours  will  take  place  on  Sunday  afternoon,  March 
17,  between  3  and  3:20  p.m.  Junior  advisers  will  lead  their  entry 
throtigh  the  houses. 

Tlie  two  councils  felt  that  it  would  be  wise  to  dispel  the 
"aura  of  mystery"  which  supposedly  surrounds  the  fraternities. 
While  conceding  diat  it  is  not  possible  for  freshmen  to  see  both 
alternatives— the  new  social  unit  will,  of  course,  not  be  coni])leted 
until  next  fall— the  members  of  die  two  councils  felt  the  freshmen 
should  he  at  least  offered  the  opportunity  to  investigate  one  of 
the  alternatives. 

The  members  cited  in  particular 
the  Impending  deadline  of  April 
15,  at  which  time  students  must 
decide  whether  or  not  they  choose 
to  live  in  the  new  social  unit. 

The  resolution  was  also  seen  as 
a  "test  case,"  designed  to  find  ex- 
actly how  much  "student  respon- 
sibility" is  left  to  the  two  coun- 
cils. Technically,  the  members  felt, 
the  Social  Council  is  concerned 
with  all  matters  involving  frater- 
nities, while  the  College  Council 
sets  up  the  Rushing  Committee, 
which  in  turn  draws  up  the  Rush- 
ing agreement. 
"Impartial  And  Unbiased" 
The  two  councils  were  insistent 
on  conducting  the  tours  in  as 
"impartial  and  unbiased"  a  man- 
ner as  possible.  Consequently,  no 
member  of  any  house,  except  the 
president  or  a  representative  of 
the  house  selected  by  the  presi- 
dent, will  be  permitted  to  remain 
in  sight.  This  Is  to  say  that  the

Mandle  Exhibit  In  Baxter  Hall 

It  is  difficult  not  to  agree  with  lioger  Mandle's  comment, 
"I  am  not  an  artist,"  after  being  confronted  with  his  work  in 
Baxter  Hall.  Of  course  Mr.  Mandle  is  aware  of  this,  but  his  state- 
ment is  sufficiently  slick  and  slippery  to  make  the  point  worth 
repeating. 

He  has  noted  that  tlie  artist  must  look  into  his  media  "as 
well  as  in  nature  itself."  But  this  gem  of  wisdom  seems  to  have 
prevented  Mr,  Mandle  from  realizing  his  obvious  potential.  Tlie 
work  now  on  display  suffers  not  from  any  lack  of  insight  into  the 
material  itself,  but  from  an  absence  of  any  underlying  unity  of 
the  artist's  ideas.  Thus,  each  work  is  an  isolated  object  which 
remains  unrelated  to  the  others,  Mr,  Mandle  has  wisely  experi- 
mented in  different  directions,  but  as  yet  has  not  acnieved  a 
personal  originality,  let  alone  a  "thread  of  truth." 

Wliat  his  various  gropings  have  produced  is  a  potpourri  of 
the  different  art  styles  during  the  last  hundred  years.  There  is 
the  realistic  approach  reflecttul  in  "Dying  Monk."  The  great  sub- 
ject of  the  old  masters  is  recalled  in  "Pieta",  though  with  diffi- 
culty, since  the  confusion  of  color  both  destroys  the  unity  of  the 
painting  and  exaggerates  the  uncertain  draftsmanship.  Scattered 
throughout  are  examples  of  formal  still  lifes,  cubism,  and  even 
a  clumsy  derivitive  of  William  Blake  entitled  "River  God,"  It 
is  interesting  to  know  that  Mr,  Mandle  can  swim  through  the 
seas  of  art  nistorv,  but  it  is  regrettable  that  this  has  submerged 
a  more  individual  expression. 

In  spite  of  this  constant  pursuit  of  imitation,  there  are  evi- 
dent signs  of  talent  and  craftsmanship,  "Berlin"  is  an  unpreten- 
tious, imaginative  abstraction  that  derives  its  title  from  a  single 
strand  of  barbed  wire.  There  are  also  several  studies  of  the  nude, 
and  a  model  of  some  local  talent.  Number  "21"  is  perhaps  the 
finest  of  the  series,  and  has  some  of  the  grace  and  simplieitv  that 
Matisse  captured  so  well  in  his  drawings,  Tlie  show  as  a  whole 
is  a  curious  mixture  of  good  and  bad,  and  reveals  that  Mr.  Man- 
dle is  not  an  artist,  nor  a  painter,  but  a  student.  Understood  in 
this  light  he  is  worth  our  attention,  and  our  hopes  that  his  next 
work  will  not  only  be  his  best,  but  his  own,

Dear  President  Sawyer, 

Caught  in  a  galling  dilemma,  81 
per  cent  of  the  Williams  student 
body  is  being  asked  to  abandon 
their  support  of  the  fraternity  sys- 
tem because  it  is  said  that  such 
support  is  a  betrayal  of  the  aims 
of  the  college,  I  favor  the  intro- 
duction of  the  social  units  onto 
the  Williams  campus.  I  welcome 
the  prospective  intellectual  atmos- 
phere that  they  will  hopefully 
promulgate.  But  there  Is  absolute- 
ly no  necessity  for  totally  dis- 
mantling the  present  system.  It 
appears  that  the  administration 
is  fearful  that  the  fraternities,  if 
allowed  to  continue,  would  out- 
strip the  social  units  in  attracting; 
new  members.  I  would  ask  that 
the  administration  not  destroy  the 
possible  competition,  but  con- 
comitantly establish  within  the 
present  framework  whatever  ad- 
vantages it  intends  to  place  in 
the  units. 

The  Reasons  Why 

Explicitly,  the  major  reasons 
for  abolishing  fraternities,  as  giv- 
en by  responsible  sources,  are: 

1 )  rampant  immorality,  drunk- 
enness, and  uncontrollable  parties. 

2)  that  the  intellectual  level  of 
verbal  exchange  is  unworthy  of 
the  calibre  of  students,  that  the 
"Greek  letter  restaurants"  pre- 
clude possibilities  of  an  academic 
atmosphere  on  the  campus. 

3)  discrimination  is  practiced, 
and  selectivity  damages  per.sonal- 
itles. 

4)  alumni  cannot  give  tax-free 
donations  to  the  fraternities  -  the 
new  system  would  spur  alum- 
ni contributions. 


Another  Freshman 
Demands  Answers 
Before    April    15th 

Dear  Sir: 

With  the  April  15  deadline  for 
social-unit  applications  approach- 
ing, I  think  it  time  that  a  few 
basic  questions  were  answered. 
You  have  consistently  referred 
these  questions  to  D.  Gardner,  but 
Mr.  Gardner  has  said  nothing 
specific,  has  not  answered  these 
questions.  We  cannot  "stay  loose" 
forever. 

First,  what  is  inherently  wrong 
in  the  fraternity  system  as  it  now 
exists?  (Fraternal  fraternities  will 
be  allowed  to  exist  in  the  "New 
Williams,"  hence  rushing  will  con- 
tinue to  exist.)  Second,  what  will 
a  social  unit  be,  in  terms  of  stu- 
dent responsibility  and  choice  of 
unit,  for  example?  Third,  and  this 
question  is  essentially  the  same 
as  number  two,  how  will  the  new 
system  differ  from  the  old? 
Fourth,  if  social  units  are  to  be 
better  than  fraternities,  then  if 
the  two  coexisted  for  a  trial  per- 
iod, say,  five  to  ten  years  (like 
the  10  per  cent  admissions  exper- 
iment), the  social  units  will  prove 
themselves  to  be  better;  why, 
then,  is  there  no  trial  period? 
Fifth,  why  have  the  trustees  acted 
arbitrarily,  with  all  deliberate 
haste,  instead  of  "at  the  earliest 
feasible  date,"  as  recommended  in 
the  Angevine  Report?  Sixth,  and 
finally,  what  assurance  does  the 
student  body  have  that  the  ad- 
ministration will  not  act  as  ar- 
bitrarily with  respect  to  these  soc- 
ial units  as  it  has  in  this  issue  so 
far  and  in  the  issue  of  freshman 
dorm  hours  on  big  weekends? 

These  questions  must  be  an- 
swered before  anyone  can  reach 
even  a  half-intelligent  decision  on 
the  fratemlty-social  unit  question. 
They  have  not  been  answered. 
Continued  failure  to  answer  them 
can  mean  only  that  there  are  no 
answers.  If  there  are  no  answers, 
then,  I,  for  one,  want  no  part  of 
any  social  unit." 

Yours  truly, 

Ronald  Promboin  '66 


While  these  problems  are  real 
ones  for  any  fraternity  system,  it 
is  certainly  within  the  power  of 
any  collese  administration  to  rem- 
edy them.  For  instance: 

1)  Yale,  feeling  that  students 
require  surveillance,  has  campus 
policemen  permanently  stationed 
at  all  of  the  "colleges."  Williams 
could  institute  a  similar  system 
on  weekends.  Stanford  has  a  pro- 
fessor and  wife  attached  to  each 
house,  whose  duty  is  to  be  social 
monitors  for  weekend  parties, 

2)  Stanford  has  a  graduate 
student  in  education  in  residence 
in  different  fraternities.  His  duty 
is  to  stimulate  conversation,  dis- 
cussion, and  to  bring  men  of  in- 
terest to  the  house.  I  am  con- 
fident that  the  Williams  fraterni- 
ties would  greet,  with  enthusiasm, 
any  administration  plan  to  bring 
professors  to  the   fraternities. 

Classes  In  Houses 

Additionally,  the  college  can 
easily  require  that  fraternities 
provide  rooms  for  classes.  The 
idea  is  already  in  practice  in  one 
Williams  fraternity.  Expanded  to 
other  houses  situated  near  the 
center  of  the  campus,  it  would 
help  discourage  the  excessive  noise 


and  folderol  during  the  mornings 
and   afternoons. 

3)  Total  Opportunity  and  Uie 
maturity  of  the  Williams  student 
body  have  snuffed  out  remaining 
vestiges  of  discrimination.  81  per 
cent  of  the  fraternity  membcr.s  arc- 
happy  with  their  position,  and  I 
am  sui-e  that  of  the  remaining  19 
per  cent,  only  a  few  decry  i^q 
system  because  people  are  "hurt." 

4)  Houses  at  Stanford  mi 
Amherst  have  been  given  tx)  the 
college  and  then  leased  back  to 
the  fraternities  -  solving  the  tax 
problem. 

I  cannot  understand  why  the 
administration  and  trustees  feel 
that  the  activities  in  the  fraterni- 
ties are  out  of  their  reach.  I  feel 
strongly  that  all  the  fraternities 
would  willingly  accept  intelligent 
administrative  supervision  as  an 
alternative  to  total  elimination,  it 
the  college  feels  it  can  make  the 
units  intellectually  stimulating, 
as  well  as  ensuring  proper  "moral" 
behavior,  surely  it  must  realize 
that  the  same  steps  can  be  taken 
in  the  system  as  it  now  stands. 

Sincerely, 

Bill  Hubbard  '63

1.  According  to  the  Department  of 
Labor,  you're  worth  over  $350,000 
as  soon  as  you  get  your  sheep.skin. 
That's  theoretical,  of  course. 

I  didn't  even  know  the 
Department  was  thinking 
about  me. 


2.  The  way  they  figure  it,  that 
$350,000  is  how  much  the 
average  college  graduate  will 
earn  by  the  time  he  retires. 

I'll  take  it  right  now 
in  a  lump  sum.  Would 
I  live!  Penthouse.  Yacht. 
Homburg.  The  works. 


3.  As  an  Eco  major,  I  feel  obliged  to 
tell  you  what  would  happen  to 
that  bundle.  First,  Uncle  Sam 
would  help  himself  to  ahout  290  Gs. 
With  the  going  rate  for  penthouses, 
your  life's  earnings  would  disappear 
in  one  year. 

You've  ruined  my  day.. 


.  Since  you'd  be  only  22,  you 
couldn't  qualify  for  Social 
Security.  You'd  have  to  go 
back  to  your  dad  for 
an  allowance. 

I  never  could 
handle  money. 


5.  Fortunately,  there's  a  way  out 
for  you. 

Tell  me— tell  me. 

Well,  you  won't  be  getting  all  that 
money  in  one  year.  You'll  be  get- 
ting .some  of  it  each  year,  at  a  much 
lower  tax  rate.  What  you  should  do  is 
put  aside  a  certain  amount  of  it. 


6.  Put  some  money  into  cash-value 
insurance,  the  kind  they  call 
Living  Insurance  at  Etjuit.ible, 
It  gives  your  wife  and  kids  solid 
protection  and  it  saves  for  you 
automatically— builds  a  cash 
fund  you  can  use  for  retire- 
ment or  any  other  purpose. 

You  Eco  guys  have 
all  the  answers.

Lawrence 

Professor  Nathanial  M.  Law- 
rence, Chairman  of  the  Philosophy 
Department,  developed  the  dilem- 
ma of  modern  man  on  the  key- 
note of  "Self -Creation"  in  his 
Chapel  sermon  Sunday  evening. 

Dr.  Lawrence  cited  Christ's  re- 
ply to  the  Pharisees  -  "For,  lo,  the 
Kingdom  of  Ood  is  within  you!" 
.  as  the  introduction  to  his  dis- 
cussion of  the  individual's  com- 
mon failure  to  create  a  whole  self. 
He  pointed  out  that  there  are  two 
approaches  made  to  the  problem 
of  self  -  one,  the  empha.sis  on  In- 
trospection as  a  way  of  finding 
oneself,  the  other,  the  emphasis 
on  observation  of  life  .as  a  way  of 
self-development. 

Self  As  Action 

The  Kingdom  must  be  actualiz- 
ed by  the  conscious  self  acting  in 
the  objective  world  of  human  ex- 
perience for  it  to  be  anything  but 
a  castle,  in  the  sky.  Dr.  Lawrence 
maintained  that  the  living  self  is 
Impossible  to  represent  in  terms 
of  a  single  inclusive  metaphor 
since  the  actuality  of  existence  al- 
ways exceeds  the  arbitrary  limits 
of  the  metaphor. 

In  the  20th  Century  the  attempt 
to  define  life  abstractly  continues, 
but  is  a  failure.  For  an  abstract 
unity  of  life  simply  won't  pass  for 
reality  in  the  context  of  "concrete 
humanity".  Art  is  an  example  of 
the  creative  integration  of  the  in- 
trospective and  observational  ap- 
proaches to  the  formation  of  the 
self  in  experience. 


On  'Sell   Creativity' 

pi  I 


Professor  Lawrence  clears  up  a  few  points  about  his  chapel  talk. 

In  the  creative  style  of  art,  the  litude  towards  democracy  and  hu- 
essentlal  introspection  is  that  man  freedom  is  a  permissive  one, 
aimed  at  human  choice  and  de- 1  entailing  no  individual  responsi- 
ci.sion  in  the  context  of  an  ac-  bility  to  the  community  other 
tivc  and  acting  existence.  The  liv-  [  than  to  stay  off  one's  neighbor's 


ing  .self  combines  introspection 
and  action,  the  product  of  which 
is  much  like  the  artist's  product. 
The  action  contains  essential  ele- 
ments of  the  human  agent. 
The  modern   dilemma  is  mani-  ' 


toes.  In  this  context  we  can  under- 
stand the  artistic  emphasis  on  the 
insignificance  and  absurdity  of 
life. 

Consequently     one     views     the 
modern     breakdown      of     sexual 


fested  in  a  negative  approach  to    mores  as  an  attempt  to  overcome 


both  medicine  and  freedom.  Dr. 
Lawrence  characterized  this  nega- 
tivity as  the  "not-death"  ap- 
proacli  to  medicine  in  which  life 
is  .sought  to  be  infinitely  and  use- 
lessly extended  with  no  purpose- 
ful end  in  mind. 
Likewise,  the  20th  Century   at- 


the  isolation  of  the  individual. 
But,  there  is  no  greater  realiza- 
tion of  self  in  the  sex  act  if  it  is 
not  founded  on  love. 

"The  search  for  God  and  self 
ultimately  converge."  The  existen- 
tial and  Christian  problems  are 
parallel.

Stocking  Delivers 
On  Shakespeare's 

by  Bob  Christiansen 

"Shakespeare's  Temper- 
ance" was  the  topic  of  Professor 
Frederick  H.  Stocking's  faculty 
lecture,  delivered  last  Thursday 
afternoon  in  the  Thompson  Biol- 
ogy Laboratory. 

Stocking  explained  that  his  talk 
was  the  result  of  a  literary  ex- 
ploration in  the  Elizabethan  Lit- 
erature course  whicli  Williams 
College  offers  to  its  undergrad- 
uates. Recently  a  junior  honors 
student  held  the  view  that  Shake- 
speare wrote  for  all  times  and 
that  to  limit  him  to  an  era,  as 
Professor  Stodcing  was  attempting 
to  do,  was  an  insult  to  his  ability 
and  fame. 

In  contrast.  Stocking  professed 
that  Shakespeare  was  a  produc  t 
of  the  Renaissance  and  that  thus 
in  no  way  impaired  his  reputation. 

To  help  those  in  attendance  see 
his  side  of  the  controversy  the 
lecturer  distributed  mimeographed 
copies  of  "Sonnet  18"  to  which 
he  referred  constantly  throughout 
his  talk. 

This  poem  demonstrates  that 
Shakespeare  sighted  a  purpose  and 
stuck  to  it  thi-oughout  the  work, 
and,  as  Stocking  proved,  it  con- 
tained devices  and  phrases  that 
were  peculiar  to  the  Renaissance 
period  of  history. 

In  "Sonnet  18"  both  the  begin- 
ning and  the  end  of  the  poem 
show  commonplaces  of  Renais- 
sance poetry.  The  opening  line  is 
a  question  and  the  final  line  im- 
mortalizes a  beloved.  Another  con- 
nection with  this  period  of  time  is 


Faculty  Lecture 
Elizabethan  Bias 


Prof.    Fred    Stocking    '35 

that  the  poem  is  based  around  a 
bright  summer  day.  In  the  end,  as 
usual,  love  is  more  durable  than 
the  summer. 

Stocking  pointed  out  that  the 
two  themes  of  the  poem  are  tem- 
perateness  and  endurance.  In  this 
case,  "temperate"  is  a  synonym 
for  eternal.  These  them^  are  also 
especially  typical  of  the  Eliz- 
abethan  era. 

The  speaker  characterized  this 
composition  as  being  "clear,  well- 
organized,  perfectly  controlled, 
and  harmonious."  He  felt  that  this 
was  an  excellent  illustration  of 
Shakespeare's  temperance.

felt  that  no   other   course   of  ac- 
tion could  be   taken. 

Washington  Concert  Substituted 
To  replace  the  Mary  Wash- 
ington concert,  the  glee  club  will 
perform  by  itself  at  the  First  Con- 
gregational Church  of  Washing- 
ton. Wasted  are  three  months  of 
work  which  each  group  has  de- 
voted to  the  difficult  joint  pro- 
gram. Double  reheai'sals  are  now 
scheduled  in  order  to  learn  the 
new  music. 

No  problem  was  encountered  in 
arranging  facilities  at  Hollins, 
which  is  one  of  the  South's  best- 
known  colleges  for  women.  Dif- 
ficulties originally  developed  in-

lottesville,   but   they  were  quickly 
solved. 

Though  Baltimore  is  sometimes 
considered  a  southern  city,  Gou- 
cher  last  received  national  pub- 
licity when  male  and  female  stu- 
dents aided  colored  students  in 
picketing  a  motion  picture  theatre 
near  a  Negro  college  in  Baltimore. 
Many  of  the  demonstrators  were 
arrested  tor  trespassing  during  the 
incident. 
Publicity  Avoided 
The  issue  was  treated  with  sil- 
ence from  both  ends.  Glee  club 
members  were  admonished  not  to 
discuss  the  change  or  its  cause. 
No  official  statement  was  released 
by  either  college.  Mary  Washing- 
ton glee  club  members  were  ignor- 
ant of  the  cancellation  until  the 
Record  made  inquiries  on  Sunday; 
they  were  formally  told  Monday 
afternoon  by  their  director. 

Chancellor  Simpson  himself  or- 
iginally expressed  surprise  when 
first  contacted,  but  upon  recall- 
ing the  incident  was  willing  to 
comment  and  clarify  his  position. 
He  emphasized  that  his  college 
was  entirely  willing  to  allow  the 
Integrated  glee  clubs  to  perform, 
but  could  not  approve  any  social 
events  that  are  common  during 
visits  by  college  groups  on  such 
occasions. 
Integration  In  Virginia 
The  Virginia  university  system, 
which  includes  William  and  Mary, 
Virginia  Poly  technical  Institute, 
Virginia  Military  Institute,  and 
several  smaller  undergraduate  col- 
leges throughout  the  state,  was 
first  integrated  last  fall  when  a 
female  was  admitted  into  a  small 
college  in  southern  Virginia  in  an 
uncontested  suit.  She  dropped  out 
her  second  day,  saying  that  she 
could  get  better  courses  at  Vir- 
ginia State,  an   all-Negro  school.

Demolition    of  the    Bastion   Block  is  forcing    Ron-the-Borber  to    move. 

by  Ken  Gaines 

Ron  the  Barber,  proprietor  of  one  of  Williamstown's  several 
tonsorial  parlors  and  one  of  the  most  recent  victims  of  the  never 
ending  struggle  between  civic  progress  and  small  enterprise,  is 
happy  to  announce  that  he  is  back  in  business  once  again  at  a 
new  address,  just  south  of  Clark's  on  Spring  Street. 

Both  students  and  residents  alike  should  rejoice  at  the  re- 
appearance of  the  young,  wavy  haired  barber  who  has  made  a 
haircut  infinitely  more  than  a  callous  shearing  and  trimming. 
Combined  with  his  ready  wit  and  unparalleled  collection  of  comic 
books  and  dog-eared  magazines,  Ron  is  never  loath  to  comment 
on  North  Adams  night-life  or  the  idiosyncrasies  of  some  of  his 
more  "unusual  customers". 

With  his  change  of  address,  effective  this  week,  Ron  wishes 
to  emphasize  that  there  will  be  no 
accompanying   change    in   opera- 
tion  and  that  future  clients  will! 
be    able    to    look    forward   to    the 
same  fare  as  usual;  a  shaved  head] 
and  a  bent  ear. 

Ron's  move  as  well  as  the  de- 
mise of  The  Square  Deal  Store 
comes  as  a  result  of  the  college's 
recent  decision  to  demolish  the 
block  of  "decaying  wooden  eye- 
sores" which  are  located  directly 
south  of  the  squash  courts  on  the 
east  side  of  Williamstown's  an- 
swer to  Fifth  Avenue. 

The  two-story  building  which 
is  being  razed  is  known  as  the 
Bastien  Block  and  is  over  one 
hundred  years  old.  The  Board  of 
Trustees  decided  to  take  action  in 
light  of  a  long  history  of  com- 
plaints and  pressure  by  various 
aesthetically  oriented  citizens,  and 
have  no  Immediate  plans  for  the 
property.

Stanley  Kunitz,  distinguished 
Pulitzer  Prize-winning  poet,  will 
speak  on  "Freedom  and  Imagina- 
tion" in  Jesup  Hall,  Monday, 
March  18  at  8  p.m.  The  lecture, 
sponsored  jointly  by  the  Danforth 
Foundation  and  the  Williams  Col- 
lege Lecture  Committee,  will  be 
followed  Tuesday  by  a  day  of  in- 
formal discussions  with  Williams 
undergraduates. 

Mr.  Kunitz,  who  received  the 
Pulitzer  Prize  in  1958  for  his  "Sel- 
ected Poems,  1928-1958,"  became, 
in  the  same  year,  one  of  the  or- 
iginal group  of  11  writers  selected 
by  the  Ford  Foundation  to  receive 
a  two-year  grant  for  creative 
work.  His  first  volume,  "Intellec- 
tual Things,"  published  in  1930, 
was  described  by  John  Ciardi  of 
the  Saturday  Review  as  "studded 
with  gems  that  should  not  be 
missed."  Mark  Schorer  of  the  New 
York  Times,  in  reviewing  his  sec- 
ond book,  "Passport  to  the  War" 
(1944),  described  Kunitz  as  a 
member  of  "the  small  group  of  the 
very  best  poets  writing  in  Amer- 
ica." 

Among  Kunitz's  other  honors 
have  been  the  Oscar  Blumenthal 
Fellowship,  the  Emily  Lowell 
Traveling  Fellowship,  the  Levin- 
son  Prize  of  Poetry  Magazine,  the 
Harriet  Monroe  Award  given  by 
the  University  of  Chicago,  and  a 
National  Institute  of  Arts  and 
Letters  grant.  While  an  under- 
graduate at  Harvard,  the  Wor- 
cester-born poet  was  awarded  the 
Garrison  Medal  for  Poetry  and  a 
Guggenheim  Fellowship. 

A  former  teacher   at  Benning- 


ton College,  the  University  of 
Washington,  Queens  College. 
Brandeis  University,  and  the  New 
School  in  New  York  City,  Kunitz 
is  concerned,  in  his  poetry,  with 
such  elemental  themes  as  love  and 
art,  life,  war  and  death,  the  pass- 
ing seasons  and  the  tyranny  of 
time. 

More  recently.  Mr.  Kunitz  has 
been  visiting  campuses  across  the 
country  as  a  guest  lecturer;  Mon- 
day's lecture  will  be  the  occasion 
of  his  first  return  to  the  Berk- 
shires  since  teaching  at  Benning- 
ton. The  Danforth  Visiting  Lec- 
turers project  under  which  he 
comes  to  Willlamstown  is  spon- 
sored jointly  by  the  Danforth 
Foundation  and  the  Association 
of  American  Colleges,  and  is  in- 
tended "to  strengthen  the  intel- 
lectual, the  religious  and  the  cul- 
tural aspects  of  liberal  education

members  of  the  houses  must  elUi- 
er  leave  the  house  during  the  20 
minutes,  or  else  remain  out  of 
sight  in  their  rooms. 

The  freshmen  will  be  sliown  the 
first  floor,  the  basement,  meaning 
the  party  room,  and  one  typical 
bedroom  complex. 

No  Junior  adviser  will  be  per- 
mitted to  take  his  entry  to  hi.s 
own  house,  the  feeling  being  that 
a  member  of  another  liouse  would 
not  be  inclined  to  rush  the  fresh- 
men for  the  house  wliich  they  are 
touring.  No  fre.shman  will  be  al- 
lowed to  visit  any  other  hou.se  and 
shall  not  tour  except  with  his 
group. 

A  Special  Occasion 

In  proposing  this  resolution,  the 
members  of  the  College  Council 
and  the  Social  Council  felt  that 
freshmen  had  been  permitted  in 
houses  on  "special  occasions," 
such  as  symposiums,  while  houses 
have  occasionally  been  opened  to 
freshmen  following  some  all-col- 
lege function  sponsored  by  a  fra- 
ternity. 


Special  permission  liud  to  be 
secured  from  Dean  Brooks  before 
freshmen  were  permitted  to  enter 
any  house.  Dean  Brooks  could 
temporarily  suspend  the  Rushing 
Agreement,  under  whlcli  no  fresh- 
man is  permitted  in  a  fraternity, 
for  a  special  occasion  such  as  a 
symposium.  The  two  councils 
planned  to  submit  such  a  request 
to  Dean  Brooks  last  night;  the 
results  of  his  decision  will  be  pub- 
lislied  in  Friday's  RECORD. 

Touring  Guidr 

The  plan  call  for  the  following 
entries  to  visit  the  specified  hous- 
es: Sage  A,  Alpha  Delta  Phi;  Sage 
B,  Zeta  Psi;  Sage  C,  Saint  An- 
tliony  Hall;  Sage  D,  Delta  Upsi-

Pay  Rates  Hiked 

Williams  College  has  Just  hiked 
pay  scales  for  most  campus  Jobs 
twenty  per  cent. 

The  increase  came  as  a  move 
to  smooth  out  discrepancies  In 
rate-for  Jobs  of  equal  difficulty, 
and  to  keep  abreast  of  a  general 
trend. 

The  old  pay  scale  of  75  to  80 
cents  for  the  lowest  paid  Jobs 
(monitoring,  morning  service  on 
the  library  reserve  desk)  has  been 
increased  to  95  cents.  More  de- 
manding tasks  (correction  of  lab 
reports  and  papers)  have  been  a- 
warded  $1.10  an  hour  liike  over 
tile  old  90  cent   an  hour  scale. 

The  increases  will  not  affect  the 
traditional  practice  of  awarding  a 
10  cent  wage  tioost  for  each  year 
of  service. 

Waiters,  who  two  years  ago  re- 
ceived an  increase,  and  carriers 
for  campus  mail,  who.se  pay  was 
boosted  earlier  this  year,  were  un- 
affected by  the  cliange. 

Students  now  work  in  eight  ma- 
jor college  departments,  with  the 
Stetson  library  employing  the 
greatest  number  for  one  year  -  45.

tunity to  I'.vamine  tlie  new  Spitz  planetarium,  recently  installed 
in  tlie  H(>i)kins  Observatory. 

Last  Wednesday,  20  members  of  the  faculty  and  administra- 
tion, alone  \vith  other  invited  mests,  witncs.sed  the  first  demon- 
stration wliieh  was  conducted  Ijy  Dr.  Theodore  C  .Melilin,  the 
I'ield  Memorial  Professor  of  Astronomy. 

In  a  brief  address,  President  Sawyer  expressed  appreciation 
for  the  gifts  which  niiide  possible  the  planetarium,  named  in 
honor  of  the  late  Professor  Willis 


IsbJster  Milham,  Field  Memorial 
Professor  of  Astronomy,  who 
taught  at  Williams  from  1895  to 
1942.  The  Spitz  Model  A-3-P 
planetarium  projector,  capable  of 
projecting  on  the  dome  of  the  ob- 
servatory all  the  stars  visible  to 
the  naked  eye,  was  given  by  Mrs. 
Milham.  The  James  Foundation 
of  New  York,  Inc.,  and  Frederick 
H.  Brandi  of  New  York  City, 
father  of  Fred  Brandi  '63,  who  has 
been  working  as  a  lab  assistant

Dedication  Ceremonies 

In  asking  Henry  N.  Flynt  '16  of 
Deerf ield,  senior  member  of  t  h  e 
Board  of  Trustees,  to  say  a  few 
words.  President  Sawyer  praised 
Plynt's  "skillful  and  tenacious 
leadership"  in  all  matters  relating 
to  buildings  and  grounds.  Flynt 
recalled  the  great  deal  of  affec- 
tion which  so  many  WiUiams  a- 
lumni  had  for  Professor  Milham 
and  noted  how  appropriate  the 
planetarium  is  to  commemorate 
that  memory.  Flynt  also  introduc- 
ed Wilmarth  Sheldon  Lewis, 
Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Over- 
seers of  Yale  University,  who  is 
visiting  Williamstown,  and  stated 
tliat  the  presence  of  a  Yale  man 
was  appropriate  because  the  first 
President  and  Trustees  of  Wil- 
liams College  were  Yale  alumni. 

The  new  planetarium  has  been 
used  by  the  astronomy  classes 
this  week.  Another  demonstration 
for  the  rest  of  the  faculty  and 
other  members  of  the  administra- 
tion is  planned  before  the  general 
public  is  invited.

Ron's  move  as  well  as  the  de- 
mise of  The  Square  Deal  Store 
comes  as  a  result  of  the  college's

block  of  "decaying  wooden  eye- 
sores" which  are  located  directly 
south  of  the  squash  courts  on  the 
east  side  of  Williamstown's  an- 
swer to  Fifth  Avenue. 

The  two-story  building  which 
is  being  razed  is  known  as  the 
Bastien  Block  and  is  over  one 
hundred  years  old.  The  Board  of 
Trustees  decided  to  take  action  in 
light  of  a  long  history  of  com- 
plaints and  pressure  by  various 
aesthetically  oriented  citizens,  and 
have  no  immediate  plans  for  the

inembors  of  Uil-  housus  must  fith- 
n-  leave  the  house  during  the  20 
minutes,  or  else  remain  out  oil 
sight  in  their  rooms. 

The  freshmen  will  be  shown  the 
first  floor,  the  basement,  meaning 
the  party  room,  and  one  typical 
Ijedroom  complex. 

No  junior  advi.ser  will  be  per- 
mitted to  lake  his  entry  to  his 
own  house,  the  feeling  being  thai 
a  member  of  another  house  would 
not  be  inclined  to  rush  the  fresh- 
men for  the  liou.se  which  Ihey  are 
touring.  No  freshman  will  be  al- 
lowed to  visit  any  other  hou.sc  and 
shall  not  tour  except  with  his 
group. 

A  Special  Occasion 

In  proposing  this  resolution,  the 
members  of  the  College  Council 
and  the  Social  Council  felt  thai 
freshmen  had  been  permitted  in 
houses  on  "special  occasions," 
such  as  symposiums,  while  hou.sos 
have  occasionally  been  opened  to 
freshmen  following  .some  all-col- 
lege function  spon.sored  by  a  fra- 
ternity. 


Special  permission  had  to  be 
secured  from  Dean  Brooks  before 
freshmen  were  permiltcd  to  enter 
any  hou.se.  Dean  Brooks  could 
temporurily  suspend  the  Rushing 
Agreement,  under  which  no  fresh- 
man is  permitted  in  a  fraternity, 
for  a  special  occasion  such  as  a 
symposium.  The  two  councils 
planned  to  submit  such  a  request 
to  Dean  Brooks  last  night;  the 
lesults  of  his  decision  will  be  pub- 
lished in  Piidays  RECORD.

Williams  College  has  just  hiked 
pay  scales  for  most  campus  jobs 
twenty  per  cent. 

The  Increase  came  as  a  move 
to  .smooth  out  discreiiancics  in 
rate-for  Jobs  of  equal  difficulty, 
and  to  keep  abreast  of  a  general 
trend. 

The  old  i^ay  scale  of  15  to  80 
cents  for  the  lowest  paid  jobs 
^monitoring,  morning  service  on 
the  library  reserve  deski  has  been 
increased  to  95  cents.  More  de- 
manding tasks  (correction  of  lab 
reports  and  liapersi  have  been  a- 
warded  $1.10  an  hour  hike  over 
the  old  90  cent  an   hour  scale. 

The  increases  will  not  affect  the 
traditional  practice  of  awarding  a 
10  cent  wage  boost  for  each  year 
of  .service. 

Waiters,  who  two  years  ago  re- 
ceived an  increase,  and  carriers 
for  campus  mail,  whose  pay  was 
boosted  earlier  this  year,  were  un- 
affected by  the  change. 

Students  now  work  in  eight  ma- 
jor college  departments,  with  the 
Stetson  library  employing  the 
greatest  number  for  one  year  -  45.

In  a  brief  address,  Fresidi'nt  Sawyer  <'.\pn'ssed  appreeialion 
for  the  shifts  which  made  possible  the  planetarium,  iiiimed  in 
honor  of  the  late  Professor  Willis

Dedication  Ceremonies 

In  asking  Henry  N.  Flynt  '16  of 
Deerf ield,  senior  member  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees,  to  say  a  few 
words,  President  Sawyer  prai.sed 
Plynt's  "skillful  and  tenacious 
leadership"  in  all  matters  relating 
to  buildings  and  grounds.  Flynt 
recalled  the  great  deal  of  affec- 
tion which  so  many  Williams  a- 
lumni  had  for  Professor  Milham 
and  noted  how  appropriate  the 
planetarium  is  to  commemorate 
that  memory.  Flynt  al.so  introduc- 
ed Wilmartli  Sheldon  Lewis. 
Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Over- 
seers of  Yale  University,  who  is 
visiting  Williamstown,  and  staled 
that  the  presence  of  a  Yale  man 
was  appropriate  because  the  first 
President  and  Trustees  of  Wil- 
liams College  were  Yale  alumni. 

The  new  planetarium  has  been 
used  by  the  astronomy  classes 
this  week.  Another  demonstration 
for  the  rest  of  the  faculty  and 
other  members  of  the  administra- 
tion is  planned  before  the  general 
public  is  invited.

Relay   Runners  Third 
In  Their  IC4A  Heat 


The  Winter  Relay  finished  a 
mediocre  season  Saturday  night 
at  the  ICAAAA  Championships  in 
Madison  Square  Garden  placine 
third  in  their  mile  relay  heat 
while  falling  to  reach  the  finals  in 
any  Individual  events. 

Ephs  Out  Of  Running 

Pitted  against  two  of  the  East's 
top  relay  teams,  the  Ephmen  were 
able  to  keep  within  striking  range 
for  only  the  first  quarter  of  the 
feature  event.  Thereafter  Vil- 
lanova  and  St.  John's  ran  away 
from  the  pack,  running  their  races 
in  3:21.0.  Williams'  3:28.6  was  not 
its  finest  of  the  season,  but  was 
good  enough  to  trounce  Lafayette. 

Karl  Neuse  gave  the  Ephs  its 
strongest  lead-off  leg  of  the  sea- 


son, finishing  with  the  leaders  in 
51.4.  But  on  the  next  two  legs  the 
superior  ixiwer  of  the  winners 
turned  the  race  into  a  rout  and 
left  the  Ephmen  far  behind.  Cap- 
Lam  John  Osborne  ran  anchor  for 
the  Ephs,  but  was  unable  to  sal- 
vage a  60  yard  deficit. 

Deichman  Takes  Heat 

In  the  individual  events,  only 
Boots  Deichman  was  able  to  ad- 
vance beyond  the  qualifying 
rounds.  Deichman  won  his  first 
heat  in  the  60  yard  dash,  but  was 
eliminated  moments  later  in  the 
semi-finals. 

In  the  600  yard  run,  both  Neuse 
and  Osborne  failed  to  break  1:14 
and  were  thus  eliminated  from  the 
finals.  Bill  Roberts  in  the  high 
jump  fouled  out  at  six  feet.

Continued  from  Page  I,  Col.  3 
The  Purple's  Dick  Holme  paced 
the  qualifiers  in  the  diving,  but 
was  unable  to  edge  the  final  form 
of  Amherst  sophomore  Duncan 
MacDougall,  who  outstripped  him 
by  one  point,  355.3  to  354.3. 
Connard  Superb  In  Butterfly 
Supporting  the  local  claim  that 
he  is  New  England's  finest  swim- 
mer, Connard  slashed  into  his 
own  butterfly  record  of  2:08.8 
with  a  sensational  2:05.5.  After 
trailing  Brown's  Wally  Ingram  for 
the  first  lap,  the  superbly  condi- 
tioned Connard  bolted  ahead  and 
into  the  pages  of  New  England 
swimming  history  with  a  time  that 
left  Ingram  four  seconds  behind 
in  his  wake. 

Larry,  blazing  through  the  100 
freestyle  with  a  creditable  50.6, 
was  unable  to  touch  out  the  Polar 
Bears'  Tim  Robinson,  who  was 
victorious  in  49.8  and  Amherst's 
Osborne,  who  copped  second. 
Bond  In  Record 

Leading  the  qualifiers  with  a 
2:11.0,  soph  Jerry  Bond  set  a  Wil- 
liams College  record,  but  in  the 
finals  he  fell  behind  Connecticut's 
Busher,  who  forced  Bowdoin's 
Coots  to  a  New  England  record  of 
2:08.6. 

Recovered  from  a  win  in  the 
grueling  1650  yard  freestyle  on 
Thursday,  Bowdoin  powerhouse 
Pete  Seaver  became  the  meet's 
second  double  winner  by  taking 
the  500  yard  freestyle  in  New 
England  record  time:  5:17.4.  Wil- 
liams' Wester  nabbed  sixth. 

With  the  events  running  out 
and  the  scores  close,  all  eyes  were 
focused  on  the  200  yard  breast- 
stroke,  a  struggle  between  Bow- 
doin's Leach  and  Wester.  When 
the  spray  cleared.  Leach's  efforts 
had  succeeded  in  pushing  the  Eph 
ace  to  the  New  England  mark  of 
2:25.8. 

The  tension  lapsed  momentar- 
ily for  all  the  teams  as  the  fresh- 


Swimming  coach  Bob  Muir  is  flanlced  by  co-captain<  Moron  and  Connard 
Muir's  cliorges  took  the  New  England:  swimming  meet  lost  weekend,  pre- 
senting him  with  his  fifteenth  New  Engionds  championship  while  at  Wil- 
liams . 


men  waded  into  combat  In  their 
400  yard  freestyle  relay,  which  did 
not  figure  in  the  official  scoring. 
The  Little  Three  foursomes,  in  the 
order  of  Wesleyan,  Amherst,  Wil- 
liams, all  crashed  through  the  ex- 
isting barrier  of  3:35.4  set  by  the 
Ephs  in  1959.  Van  Keenan  led 
the  Cardinals,  who  triumphed  in 
3:27.9.  Jim  Rider,  Doug  Stevens. 
Lew  Sears,  and  Ken  Kurtz  com- 
bined for  the  Ephlet  third. 

Bowdoin's  58-57  lead  going  into 
the  final  relay  put  the  pressure 
on  the  Ephs  to  produce  a  win 
and  the  accompanying  14  points. 
After  spurting  ahead  in  the  first 
fifty  yards,  Larry  was  touched  out 
by  the  Polar  Bears'  Robinson. 
Kasten  took  over  and  stayed  even 
with  Coots  until  co-captain  John 


Moran  came  Into  action  to  gain 
on  Tllton  in  a  grueling  third  leg. 
Connard  put  the  Icing  on  his 
spectacular  day's  performance 
with  a  48  second  plus  unofficial 
final  tour.  Along  with  the  victory 
came  a  time  just  .2  seconds  off 
the  3:21.0  N.E.  record  the  Ephs 
set  last  year  at  the  Easterns. 

While  Williams  with  71  points 
and  Bowdoin  with  68  dominated 
the  spotlight,  several  other  con- 
tingents made  good  showing.s. 
UConn  amassed  40  points,  Am- 
herst -37,  and  Brown  27  while 
Springfield  with  20,  UMas.s  with 
16,  and  Wesleyan  with  ten  points 
each  demonstrated  that  they  liad 
not  been  overwhelmed  in  the  best 
field  of  New  England  swimmers 
ever  to  meet.

Wlnfield  beat  Saunders,  the  on-

as  champion,  in  his  first  bout,  3-1. 
In  the  semi-finals  he  bowed  to 
Chatwin  of  MIT,  the  eventual 
winner,  5-2.  Hred  from  two  tough 
bouts,  he  got  past  Slsson  of

one-point  escape  and  riding  time 
by  Myers  of  Wesleyan  to  take

Summersgill  Reveals 
1963  'Gulielmensian' 
To  Appear  Next  Fall 


The  1963  Gulielmensian,  the 
college  yearbook,  will  be  distribut- 
ed next  fall  iiLstead  of  the  sprins, 
as  has  been  the  custom  in  past 
years.  Copies  will  be  mailed  to  the 
graduating  seniors  and  passed  out 
to  the  remainuiB  three  classes  af- 
ter the  return  to  school  next  fall. 

Spring-  Sports 

Gul  Editor-In-C  h  i  e  f  Robert 
Summersgill  '64  says  that,  "the 
primary  reason  for  this  change  is 
that  it  will  allow  the  inclusion  of 
this  year's  spring  sports  in  the 
1963  Gul.  It  will  also  make  pos- 
sible a  more  complete  coverage  of 
winter  sports  and  of  any  impor- 
tant events  that  occur  in  the 
spring." 

Fall  Decision 

The  decision  was  made  last  fall 
when  the  realization  of  the  dif- 
ficulties and  incompleteness  of  the 
.spring  yearbook  were  considered 
by  the  board.  Other  Gul  officers 
are,  Peter  Branch.  '64  Managing 
Editor,  and  Jay  H,  Keller.  '64 
Business  Manager. 

Finances 

The  Gul  is  subsidized  by  the 
Student  Activities  tax  and  what- 
ever revenue  the  advertising  staff, 
headed  by  Vlnce  Parley  '64,  can 
gather.  It  is  distributed  without 
charge  to  the  student  body.

Stifles  Initiative,  Creates  Contusion  ^^^^^  f „^,..    j.,-^; 

Poet,  aiitlior,  teacher,  and  general  critic  Paul  Goodman 
warned  an  overflow  [esiip  Hall  crowd  Monday  night  that  cen- 
tralization by  no  means  equals  efficiency. 

In  "A  Theory  of  Decentralization",  Goodman  attacked   the  ricu'iar'"to"the "extracurricular  in 
"ahno.st  unstoppable"  popular  notion  that  organization  with   the  a  discussion  of  "Sex  Ethics."  The 
"main  center  of  initiative  at  the  top"  produces  the  best  result.s. 
ideally,  ideas  well  up  from  the  bottom  of  any  organization,  ak 
acted  on  by  the  top,  and  policies  diffused  back  down  to  the  ori- 
ginal base  of  action. 

The  ]jroblem  lies  with  the  middleman. 

Inherent  in  larger  and  larger  organizations  are  more  and  more 
|)eople  between  the  bases  of  information  and  those  who  make  the 
final  decisions.  The  result,  however  well-intentioned,  is  that  tlii' 


In  his  lecture  Tuesday  noon  at 
the  Student  Union,  Paul  Good- 
man moved  blithely  from  the  cm-- 


Former  CC  Chairmen  Reminisce; 
Bygone  Age  Compared  With  New 

btj  Rick  Conlei/ 
From  attic  apartments  and  basement  reading  rooms  campus 
leaders  of  the  class  of  1963  emerged  to  utter  their  final   words 
on  the  activities  of  the  College  Council  committees  during  the 
past  year.  Defrocked  by  the  wings 
of   time   the  ex-committee  chair- 
men   took    off     the     rose-colored 
glasses  of  student  involvementism 
and  looked  at  their  achievements 
and  shortcomings  with  the  objec- 
tivity of  historians. 

Former  Pi-esident  of  the  College 
Council  Stu  Brown,  found  perus- 
ing the  latest  issue  of  the  REC'. 
ORD  in  his  air-cooled  office  in 
the  Chemistry  l^b  building,  offered 
mixed  opinions  of  the  various 
committees.  "The  hard  core  of  the 
work  of  the  committees  is  just 
done,  and  the  student  body  is 
rarely  aware  of  the  effects  their 
government  has  on  the  College." 

Cites  Difficulty 

Brown  believes  that  the  com- 
mittees "perform  a  worthwhile 
function  but  are  caught  up  in 
the  difficulty  that  most  student 
groups  are  guilty  of,  this  being 
that  of  not  devoting  enough  time 
to  really  getting  something  done." 

During  a  coke  and  popcorn  in- 
terview In  the  snack  bar,  lanky 
Oordie  Davis  got  down  to  brass 
tacks  on  the  whole  committee  out- 
look. Ex-chairman  of  the  Rules, 
Nominations,  and  Elections  Com 
mlttee,  Davis  was  largely  respon 
sible  for  the  selection  of  members 
of  the  other  Council  committees 

Most  Powerful 

Davis'  next  statement  was  ob- 
vious: "Perhaps  the  Rules  Com- 
mittee is  the  most  powerful  of  all 
the  committees."  However,  none  of 
them  does  that  much,  due  to  the 
"sickness  of  the  Council  itself." 
And,  continued  Davis,  "No  matter 
what  positions  the  students  hold, 
they  will  have  no  responsibility 
unless  they  hold  the  respect  dT 
the  Administration." 

He  maintains  that  the  Ange- 
vine  Report  has  put  everything  on 
a  "shaky  plane"  and  that  his  com- 
mittee wanted  to  do  something  to 
improve  the  election  procedure  but

combination  of  Goodman's  repu-

caused  an  overflow  crowd  of  stu- 
dents and  faculty. 

Basing  his  argument  on  a  Freu-

fective  communication  is  a  mess. 

Such  happens  in  the  largest  of 
them  all  -  the  government.  The 
chief  requirement  for  a  President 
becomes  the  ability  to  read  three 
pages  of  mimeographed  super- 
summaries.  "Fortunately,  we  now 
have  one  who  can  -  Eisenhower 
couldn't,"  said  Goodman. 

With  more  and  more  decisions 
necessarily  having  to  be  referred 
to  the  top,  the  work  on  the  bot- 


things  as  pre-marital  sex  were  re- 
pressing natural  urges  and  were 
causing  anxiety  in  people  who 
broke  with  tradition. 
Cognition  Through  Sex 
Goodman  said  that  "pleasure  is 
a  very  fine  guideline"  in  such  mat- 
ters, noting  that  "mere  pleasure 
doesn't  exist,  because  pleasure 
is  an  organic  response  to  any 
situation. 

Goodman  said  that  a  sexual  re- 
lation is   the  natural  culmination 


torn  gets  easier  and  the  executives  ^^  ^^  affectionate  relationship  be- 
tween two  people;  it  is  only  in 
sex  that  the  people  fully  "know" 


at  the  top  work  much  harder 

Overwork  and  Underthought 

For   instance,    the   man   in    the  ^ach  other 
plant  works  less  and  less  -  down 
to  25  hours  a   week    -   while   his 
boss  works  up  to  70  hours  or  more 

All  this  inefficiency  -  and  this                                     ^^^  .^^^^^^^^ 
Goodman  defined  as  less  and  less  ^ , ,^ _„  __  „,..,„„ 


He  cited  St.  Thomas  Acquinas 
as  a  man  who  espoused  an  "in- 
telligent" attitude  toward  sex,  be- 
cause the  Medieval  theologian 
said  that  copulation   was  the  re- 


"mind"  working  on  a  problem  - 
comes  from  too  much  centraliza- 
tion. 

The  solution?  Decentralize  as 
much  as  possible. 

Possibles  and  Impossibles 

"Some    organizations    you    ob-  .  , 

viously  can't  decentralize  like  the  """J'^'P;, 
airline  schedule   or  the  city   bus 
system."  The  results  would  be  a 
mess. 

But  in  others  -  like  cities  -  in- 
creasing centralization  means  not 
only  more  inefficiency  but  more 
expense.  Studies  estimate  that  by 
1970,  the  cost  to  the  public  in 
roads  and  land  of  bringing  one  car 
into  Washington,  D.C.  from  five 
miles  out  will  be  $3.50  per   trip. 


one's  hiunanity  as  well  as  giving 
pleasure. 

If  sex  is  the  way  to  fully  know 
another  person.  Goodman  said, 
then  an  advocacy  of  pre-marital 
sex  is  quite  reasonable,  since  mar- 
riages are  based  on   a   full    rela- 


Phi  Beta  Kappa 

The  following  members  of  the 
Class  of  1964  have  been  elected  to 
Phi  Beta  Kappa: 

Archibald  Allen,  Jeffrey  Appel, 
David  Appelbaum,  Carlton  Brown- 
stein.  David  Cornish,  Stephen 
Creekmore,  William  Friedman.

Richard  Hubbard,  Michael  Hud- 
dleson.  Barry  James,  Richard 
Lyon,  William  Steel,  Davis  Tay- 
lor, and  John  Wll.son. 


Stupificatlon 

Goodman  saw  the  whole  process 
of  centralization,  by  removing  the 
chiefs  from  the  information,  es- 
pecially In  the  electorate,  as  mak- 
ing not  only  for  inefficiency  but 
for  stupidity.  The  ones  on  the  bot- 
tom don't  think,  and  ones  on  the 
top  can't  think. 

To  his  mind,  this  process  is  of 
vast  danger  to  the  whole  Jeffer- 
sonian  ideal  of  democracy:  en- 
lightenment of  the  electorate.  By 
removing  decision  from  the  base 
to  the  top,  centralized  democracy 
stupifies  it. 

One  way  to  combat  both  these 

trends  is   to   reform    the   scheme 

of  higher  education,  the  purpose 

of  which  should  be,  in  Goodman's

Speeches  On  Geneva 

The  Northern  Berkshire  Com-

will  sponsor  a  symposium  in  Jesup 
Hall  on  March  19  at  8:00  on  "The 
Geneva  Disarmament  Talks:  Pro- 
gress or  Propaganda,"  Mrs.  Har- 
riet Simpson  said.  Mrs.  Simpson, 
wife  of  political  science  Professor 
Dwight  Simpson,  is  arrangements 
chairman  for  the  symposium. 

Professor  Frederick  L.  Schuman 
and  Jerome  King,  both  of  the  Pol- 
itical Science  department,  and 
John  T.  Connor  '63  will  lead  the 
symposium. 

Schuman  said  he  plans  to  pre- 
sent a  brief  historical  background 
of  the  Geneva  disarmament  talks, 
and  then  come  to  a  "pessimistic 
conclusion"  about  the  hopes  for 
any  success  in  disarmament. 

Schuman  holds  this  opinion  be- 
cause in  the  last  65  years  no  vol- 
untary international  disarmament 
agreements  have  been  reached,  ex- 
cept for  the  1922  Washington 
Naval  Treaty. 

Connor,  who  is  writing  his  sen- 
ior honors  thesis  on  the  Geneva 
talks,  will  make  general  observa- 
tions, and  King  will  reach  an  op- 
timistic conclusion,  Schuman  said.

Olmstead  Leaves 

Branch  replaced  outgoing  Pres-

ministration has  instituted  a  sys- 
tem of  collective  buying  of  every- 
thing from  nails  to  oil. 

Money  Saving 

Branch  estimated  that  the  new 
procedures  will  save  the  liouses 
"possibly  $500  to  $600  a  year  - 
maybe  more  -  apiece." 

To  meet  the  financial  threats 
of  the  Angevine  Report,  the  Coun- 
cil is  setting  up  cost-study  com- 
parisons and  expense  surveys  to 
cut  the  cost  of  fraternity  upkeep. 
"We  are  presenting  a  united 
front,"  .says  Branch.

Review 

'The  Waiting  Room'  At  The  AMT 

By  presenting  u  first-rate  production  ot  Peter  Simon's  extra- 
ordinary play,  "Tlie  Waiting  Room,"  tlie  Experimental  Theatre  of 
the  AMT  has  finally  lived  up  to  its  claim  of  being  the  place  where 
new  and  unconventional  plays  can  be  done.  Tnis  original  work, 
which  opened  Wednesday  evening  and  will  close  tomorrow  night 
after  a  quickly  schedulccl  performance,  was  excellent  and  prom- 
ises fine  things  from  its  writer. 

The  play  is  concerned  with  a  young  man  named  Joel,  whom 
we  follow  throut^h  a  series  of  vignettes,  which  show  him  bursting 
the  limits  of  his  restrictive  world,  thrashing  about  for  some  sort 
of  identity;  at  first,  the  whole  idea  of  the  play  may  not  seem  any- 
thing grand,  but  the  |)rescntation  was  so  exciting  that  one  (juickly 
forgives  whatever  shortcomings  may  arise. 

The  power  of  the  play  is  not  in  what  Simon  presents,  but 
in  how  he  presents  it:  he  seems  able  to  construct  fierce  and  won- 
derful dialogue  in  endless  quantities,  with  such  an  intensity  of 
expression  that,  although  the  running  time  of  the  play  is  some- 
thing more  than  two  hours,  it  seems  all  to  have  happened  in  little 
more  than  a  moment.  The  play  is,  above  all,  eminently  theatrical: 
seldom  has  the  experimental  stage  raised  such  a  clamor,  so  much 
rambunctious  and  passionate  motion,  combining  the  comic  and  the 
sardonic  in  the  manner  of  Brecht  and  Albee. 

The  sound  and  the  fury,  may,  in  the  end,  signify  next  to 
nothing,  but  no  one  was  bored,  surely.  The  play  runs  on  and  on, 
the  characters  scream  hoarsely  and  often  "obscenely"  at  one  an- 
other in  language  which  is  simultaneously  hilarious  and  biting. 
Indeed,  "The  Waiting  Room"  is  not  a  play  of  thought,  but  a  play 
of  language:  language  which  is  so  animated  that  one  is  quite 
willing  to  forgive  the  occasional  failings  of  the  play  as  a  whole. 

The  performance  fully  realized  the  fullest  limits  of  the  lan- 
guage, for  this  production  had  the  audience  laughing  continu- 
ously at  the  sight  of  human  beings  doing  their  best  to  slash  each 
other  to  pieces.  The  cast  was,  to  a  man,  worthy  of  its  task:  Chris 
Welch  as  Joel  was  occasionally  clumsy,  but  his  consistently  vital 
performance  did  much  to  sustain  the  play.  The  scene  involving 
Welch  and  Jim  de[ongh,  who  was  really  fine  in  his  first  large 
role  at  the  AMT,  was  the  best  in  the  play,  although  the  opening 
moments,  in  which  Welch  and  Jon  Spelman  battered  at  each 
other,  was  almost  its  equal.  Spelman,  who  seems  to  have  become 
a  member  of  the  AMT's  resident  company,  proved  to  be  a  superb 
foil  for  the  raving  of  the  central  character.  Anne  Andersen  and 
Jim  Wolfe,  the  latter  another  untested  actor,  certainly  showed 
as  well  as  the  rest,  and  one  soon  iiins  short  of  superlatives.  Al- 
though the  part  of  Ellen  was  not  fully  realized  by  the  playwright, 
Jackie  West  did  her  best.  As  a  group,  these  six  played  with  such 
dash  and  smashing  vitality  that  it  seemed  they  would  blow  down 
the  walls  of  the  set. 

To  pay  director  Phillip  Meeder  the  ultimate  compliment: 
the  play  seemed  not  to  have  been  directed  at  all;  the  characters 
seemed  to  have  lines  of  their  own.  Dismissing  a  few  heavy-handed 
moments— the  opening  tableau,  the  emphasis  on  the  already  glar- 
ing symbols— Meeder's  direction  enhanced  the  lusty  spontaneity 
of  the  work. 

There  were  several  notable  deficiencies  in  the  play,  however, 
none  of  which  impaired  the  immediate  enjoyment  of  the  per- 
formance. In  the  main,  it  seems  to  be  a  case  of  the  play's  virtues 
extending  to  be  its  faults;  too  much  of  a  good  thing,  in  many 
instances.  While  Simon  seems  to  have  a  limitless  capability  for 
smashing  repartee,  he  simply  doesn't  know  when  to  stop;  enough's 
enough,  and  all  that.  "Tlie  abruptness  which  he  so  deftly  employed 
to  turn  the  play  between  humor  and  nastiness  began  to  work 
against  him  when  he  attempted  the  shift  from  the  discordant  to 
the  soft  and  tender;  the  hush  falls  with  too  jarring  a  suddenness. 

Simon  certainly  knows  how  to  rave,  but  he  has  yet  to  learn 
the  art  of  being  serious  without  seeming  awkward,  of  being 
tender  without  being  mawkish;  in  short,  he  can  write  many  good 
words,  yet  one  cannot  call  him  fully  articulate. 

Moreover,  certain  scenes,  in  which  the  Message  is  pushed 
across,  seem  to  be  grab-bags  of  Angry  Young  Manisms:  "Is  the  life 
we're  living  here  really  worth  it?'  etc.  Tlie  main  character  takes 
himself  too  seriously  in  the  end,  and  it  seems  oiit  of  place  in  the 
bizarre  world  of  the  play. 

It  is  somewhat  difficult  to  dismiss  certain  inadequacies  in  the 
play  as  a  whole  because,  once  the  fire  and  the  color  have  faded, 
there  is  too  little  of  any  lasting  value.  The  affirmations  which  the 
play  makes  are  neither  profound  nor  original  but  the  hullabaloo 
was  fun  while  it  la.sted.  Simon  is,  of  course,  a  young  playwright 
and  one  praises  him  for  trying,  at  least,  to  provoke  rather  than 
simply  to  entertain,  while  hoping  that  mahirity  will  fulfill  his 
promise.  Until  then,  we  can  enjoy  what  we  had  for  all  its  worth, 
while  encouraging  Simon  to  heed  the  plea  of  one  of  his  own  char- 
acters: "Tell  us  a  story  with  a  point,  something  relevant."

The  Williams  College  Political 
Science  Department  will  welcome 
the  addition  of  political  scientist 
Norman  McKenzie  to  Its  staff  next 
year  as  a  visiting  professor.  Mc- 
Kenzie will  arrive  In  Williams- 
town  In  the  fall  with  excellent  ed- 
ucational and  academic  back- 
grounds. 

At  present,  McKenzie  is  teach- 
ing political  sociology  at  the  Un- 
iversity of  Sussex.  He  graduated 
from  the  London  School  of  Econ- 
omics, and  has  had  first  hand  ex- 
perience In  politics  himself,  hav- 
ing run  in  the  1951  and  1955  Par- 
liamentary elections  as  a  Labor 
candidate.  He  met  the  usual  fate 
of  academics  seeking  elective  of- 
fice, and  was  defeated  on  both  oc- 
casions, but  gained  valuable  know- 
ledge of  the  inner  workings  of 
British  pohtics. 

Experienced  Traveller 

McKenzie  has  been  a  commen- 
tator on  British  radio  and  TV, 
and  an  assistant  editor  of  the 
well-known  British  weekly,'  New 
Statesman.  He  has  travelled  wide- 
ly in  Europe,  on  both  sides  of  the 
Iron  Curtain,  and  since  1953  has 
visited  all  the  Communist  states

most  recent  trip  was  last  summer 
to  Russia,  where  lie  spent  a  month 
studying  the  present  slate  of  Sov- 
iet sociology,  psychology  and  opin- 
ion studies.  He  has  studied  and 
reported  elections  in  the  U.S., 
France,  Ireland,  Belgium,  Hol- 
land, Italy  and  Australia. 

Local  Knowledge 

He    is   not    a   stranger    to   this 


country  or  to  Williams  for  that

MARKING  ON  THE  CURVE— AND  WHAT 
TO  DO  ABOUT  IT 

Twonkey  Crimscott  was  a  professor.  Choate  Sigafoos  waa  a 
sophomore.  Twonkey  Crimscott  was  keen,  cold,  brilliant. 
Ciioate  Sigafoos  was  loose,  vague,  adenoidal.  Twonkey  Crim- 
scott believed  in  diligence,  discipline,  and  marking  on  the  curve. 
Choate  Sigafoos  believed  in  elves,  Julie  London,  and  thirteen 
hours  of  sleep  each  night. 

Yet  there  came  a  time  when  Twonkey  Crimscott— mentor, 
sage,  and  savant— was  thoroughly  outthought,  outfoxed,  out- 
nianeuvcrcd,  outployed,  and  outwitted  by  Choate  Sigafoos, 
soi)liomore. 


It  happened  one  day  when  Choate  was  at  the  library  studying 
for  one  of  Mr.  Crimscott's  exams  in  sociology.  Mr.  Crimscott's 
exams  were  murder— plain,  flat  murder.  They  consisted  of  one 
hundred  questions,  each  question  having  four  passible  answers 
—A,  B,  C,  and  D.  You  had  to  check  the  correct  answer,  but  the 
trouble  was  that  the  four  choices  were  so  subtly  shaded,  so 
intricately  worded,  tliat  students  more  clever  by  far  than  Choate 
Sigafoos  were  often  set  to  gibbering. 

So  on  this  day  Choute  sat  in  the  library  poring  over  his 
sociology  text,  his  tiny  brow  furrowed  with  concentration,  while 
all  around  him  sat  the  other  members  of  the  sociology  class, 
every  one  studying  like  crazy,  every  one  scared  and  pasty. 
Clioate  looked  sadly  at  their  stricken  faces.  "What  a  waste!" 
he  thought.  "All  this  youth,  this  verve,  this  bounce,  chained  to 
musty  books  in  a  musty  library!  We  should  be  out  singing  and 
dancing  and  cutting  (lidoes  on  the  greensward!  Instead  we 
are  here." 

Then,  suddenly,  an  absolute  gaaser  of  an  idea  hit  Choate. 
"Listen!"  he  shouted  to  his  classmates.  "Tomorrow  when  we 
take  the  exam,  let's  all— every  one  of  us— check  Choice  'A'  on 
every  question- every  one  of  them," 

"Huh?"  said  his  classmates. 

"Oh,  I  know  that  Choice  'A'  can't  be  the  right  answer  to 
every  question,"  said  Choate.  "But  what's  the  difference?  Mr. 
Crimscott  marks  on  the  curve.  If  we  all  check  the  same  an- 
swers, then  we  all  get  the  same  score,  and  everybody  in  the  class 
gets  a  'C'." 

"Hmm,"  said  his  classmates. 

"So  why  should  we  knock  ourselves  out  studying?"  said 
Choate.  "Let's  get  out  of  here  and  have  a  ball!" 

So  they  all  ran  out  and  lit  Marlboro  Cigarettes  and  had  a 
ball,  as  indeed,  you  will  too  when  you  light  a  Marlboro,  for  if 
there  ever  was  a  cigarette  to  lift  the  spirit  and  gladden  the 
heart,  to  dispel  the  shades  of  night,  to  knot  up  the  ravelled 
sleeve  of  care,  to  put  spring  in  your  gait  and  roses  in  your 
cheeks,  it  is  filtered  Marlboros— firm  and  pure  and  fragrant  and 
nlle(i  with  rich,  natural,  golden  tobacco.  And,  what's  more,  this 
darlin'  smoke  comes  in  soft  packs  that  are  actually  soft  and 
flip-top  boxes  that  actually  flip. 

Well  sir,  the  next  mormng  the  whole  class  did  what  Choate 
said,  and,  sure  enough,  they  all  got  'C's,  and  they  picked  Choate 
up  i"d  carried  him  on  their  shoulders  and  sang  "For  lie'.'!  a 
Jolly  Good  Fellow"  and  plied  hun  with  sweetmeats  and  Marl- 

CHOATP  >^''  '^^^  ""*  "^  ^^^^^  ^^'^'^  ^^^^  "^  ^°™  °^ 
But  they  were  celebrating  too  soon.  Because  the  next  time 
shrewd  old  Mr.  Crimscott  gave  them  a  test,  he  did  not  give 
them  one  hundred  multiple  choice  questions.  He  only  gave 
them  one  question— to  wit:  write  a  30,000  word  essay  on 
"Crime  Does  Not  Pay." 

"You  and  your  ideas,"  they  said  to  Choate  and  tore  off  his 

epauletfi  and  broke  his  sword  and  drummed  him  out  of  the 

school.  Today,  a  broken  man,  he  earns  a  living  as  a  camshaft

Geology  Professor 
Wins  NSF  Grant 

Dr.  John  A.  MacPadyen,  '48  as- 
sociate professor  of  geology  will 
attend  the  International  Third 
Institute  for  American  Colleges 
and  University  Geology  Teachers, 
to  be  held  in  Scandinavia  this 
summer. 

The  field  program  in  areas  of 
classic  geological  significance  is 
sponsored  by  the  American  Geo- 
logical Institute  under  a  grant 
from  the  National  Science  Foun- 
dation. A  selected  group  of  20  col- 
lege and  university  teachers  of 
geology  will  study  geological  fea- 
tures in  Norway.  Sweden  and  Pin- 
land,  leaving  New  York  City  July 
1  for  the  start  of  the  institute  in 
Oslo.  Norway,  on  July  5.  They  will 
return  to  the  United  States  by 
September  1. 

During  the  program,  the  Amer- 
ican teachers  will  be  accompanied 
by  outstanding  Norwegian,  Swed- 
ish and  Finnish  scientists.  The 
teachers  will  have  opportunities  to 
visit  academic  institutions,  re- 
search organizations  and  mu- 
seums of  geology. 

A  teacher  at  Williams  since 
1952.  Dr.  MacPadyen  took  his  Ph. 
D.  at  Columbia  University  in  1962 
with  a  doctoral  dissertation  on 
"The  Geology  of  the  Bennington 
(Vt.)  Area."  He  graduated  from 
WiUiams  in  1948  and  took  his  M.S. 
at  Lehigh  in  1950.  He  was  an  as- 
sistant in  geology  at  Lehigh  from 
1948-50.  and  a  Fellow  at  Woods 
Hole  Oceanographic  Institute  the 
summers  of  1950  and  1952  before 
coming  to  Williams.

it   is   there  did   not  seem   to   be 
much  sense  In  it. 

Barring  no  punches,  the  tall 
Chicagoan  stuck  his  neck  out  and 
ventured  his  opinion  that  with 
"the  UCBIWC  or  whatever  it  Is" 
on  the  scene  in  the  new  Council 
the  whole  aura  of  student  govern- 
ment will  change.  He  clarified  this 
by  saying  that  the  apparent  lack 
of  mutual  respect  between  the  Ad- 
ministration and  the  CC  would 
probably  result  in  the  latter  being 
pushed  to  the  outside  as  a  spec- 
tator and  a  loud  minority  voice, 
unheeded  by  the  real  Powers- 
That-Be. 

CiviUzed  Life 

Bill  Boyd  is  glad  that  his  chair- 
manship of  the  Honors  and  Dis- 
cipline Committee  had  shown  him 
two  things:  "The  students  are  liv- 
ing like  civilized  people,  and  the 
Administration  is  not  spending  all 
its  leisure  time  looking  for  student 
violations  of  College  rules."  Al- 
most all  the  offenses  during  the 
year  were  minor  items,  such  as 
damage  to  doors  and  windows, 
and  rarely  were  serious  cases  tried. 
A  security  clampdown  prevents  the 
relating  of  any  of  the  procedings 
before  this  committee,  which 
meets  jointly  with  a  faculty  group. 
The  only  non-personal  action  of 
note  was  the  extension  of  dorm 
hours  for  Saturday  nights. 

Boyd  claimed  that  his  commit- 
tee was  a  real  instance  of  student 
responsibility  because  "it  is  based 
on  the  idea  of  trial  by  peers."  He 
was  very  pleased  by   the  faculty

part  of  the  shared  workload,  and 
especially  Indicated  that  the 
spirit  instead  of  the  exact  letter 
of  the  law  was  observed  in  most 
cases.  "The  Big  Brother  image  of 
this  body,  especially  the  faculty 
half  of  it,  should  be  dispelled." 

Bureau  of  tlie  Budget 

John  Osborne's  Pniance  Com- 
mittee had  its  main  task  in  al- 
lotting the  annual  budget's  to 
campus  groups  such  as  Purple 
Key,  the  Gul,  the  Outing  Club, 
and  others.  The  money  came  from 
the  Student  Activities  tax.  and 
during  the  year  the  committee 
kept  an  eye  on  its  use.  No  large 
frauds  were  reported,  but  one  as- 
pect of  this  group's  work  was  tire 
handling  of  loans  to  student 
groups  with  adequate  plans  for 
worDhwhile  projects.  Under  this 
category  the  Council  stands  to 
lose  about  four  hundred  dollars  on 
Winter  Carnival  Weekend.  "The 
Sophomore  Class  is  not  to  blame, 
only  the  weather."  said  the  un- 
derstanding ex-chairman. 

Easy-going  Larry  Buxbaum,  ad- 
vocate of  the  myth-of-student-re- 
sponsibility-theory.  in  a  prepared 
stateftient  for  the  press  related 
that  his  Curriculum  Committee 
had  conducted  studies  on  the 
strengthening  of  the  Honors  pro- 
gram and  on  class  and  com'se 
scheduling,  with  perhaps  a  reduc- 
tion from  five  to  four  courses 
sometime  in  the  future.  He  stated 
that,  "Due  to  higher  averages  and 
potential  in  the  new  classes  at 
Williams  it  is  incumbent  upon  the 
Curriculum  Committee  to  inves- 
tigate new  and  more  challenging 
opportunities  for  the  intellectual 
community." 

Rushing  Smooth 

Roger  Warren  reported  over  the 
phone  that' the  main  work  of  his 
committee  was  done  during  its  one 
big  week  and  that  this  is  prob- 
ably quite  familiar  to  the  student 
body.  Here  a  large  part  of  the 
work  is  done  by  the  chairman  in 
conjunction  with  the  office  of  the 
Rushing  Arbiter,  which  is  theore- 
tically subordinate  to  the  student 
committee.  The  fall's  only  serious 
run-in  with  "Dirty  Rushing"  was 
settled  by  a  reprimand  to  the 
house  and  members  involved,  and 
since  the  rushee  failed  to  list  this 
house  on  the  final  sheet  the  prob- 
lem was  "ended  quite  peaceably." 

Weekly  meetings,  as  witnessed 
in  countless  Advisor  ads,  marked 
the  busy  calendar  of  Mike 
Collyer's  Student  Union  Commit- 
tee. "This  committee  is  the  only 
one  that  really  gives  the  imagina- 
tion free  reign."  volunteered  its 
former  head.  Many  mixers,  mov- 
ies, luncheons,  dances,  art  shows, 
and  other  activities  made  the 
shiplike  building  a  veritable  stu- 
dent center  on  a  reputedly  much-

Roused  from  the  pleasurable 
depths  of  a  familiar  bunny-bear- 
ing magazine.  Bill  Hubbard  of  the 
Foreign  Student  Committee  in- 
formed us  of  no  student  uprisings 
in  his  department.  "We  have  no 
real  guidelines  and  must  play  by 
ear  any  situations  that  arise,"  re- 
plied the  senior  to  a  question  of 
Administration  dominance.  During 
the  year  the  foreign  students  were 
"mixed"  once  at  a  social  gather- 
ing at  one  of  the  prestigious  wo- 
men's colleges  in  the  state.  Also 
a  picnic,  roommates,  and  a  sym- 
posium were  arranged  for  and 
with  the  students  themselves.

Granting  tliat  there  are  other 
factors  Involved  in  an  "ideal" 
marriage,  such  as  common  atti- 
tudes toward  other  people,  Good- 
man said  that  pre-marital  sex  was 
ultimately  the  only  way  to  know 
as  much  as  possible  about  an- 
other person. 

Social  Inhibitions 

Goodman  continued  that  the 
conventional  attitudes  toward 
such  things  as  pre-marital  sex 
often  cause  feelings  of  repressed 
guilt  and  anxiety  in  a  person  who 
"violated"  the  mores  of  a  society. 

He  noted  that  such  mores  are 
often  engendered  in  a  family,  and 
that  a  person  feels  guilty  towards 
his  parents  after  engaging  in  pre- 
marital relationship. 

Myth  of   Murriage 

Goodman  consequently  stated 
that  marriage  is  actually  "a  dead 
herring  institution,"  existing  only 
as  a  means  to  raising  children 
and  to  provide  security  against 
loneliness  in  old  age. 

Goodman  noted  that  the  mon- 
ogamous Western  family  is  the 
product  of  a  "farm"  age  and 
should  be  seen  as  absurd  where 
there  are  no  longer  people  living 
on  farms. 

He  feels  that  the  ideal  form  of 
society  is  the  one  existing  in  Is- 
rael, where  the  "kibbuths"  pro- 
vide a  child  with  a  family  as 
"protection"  while  allowing  him 
to   grow    up   on  his   own. 

Goodman  concluded  his  lecture 
by  saying  that  Western  society  is 
in  a  period  of  transition,  one 
which  would  not  be  concluded  un- 
til "your  generation."  that  of  the 
attending  students,  had  passed. 
He  feels  that  there  will  still  be 
feelings  of  guilt,  due  to  feeling 
encouraged   by  one's  parents. 

The  subsequent  questions  were 
concerned,  in  one  instance  with 
the  Freudian  basis  of  Goodman's 
thought  and.  in  a  second,  with 
the  place  and  importance  of  love 
in   the  ideal  marriage. 

In  answering  the  first  question, 
Goodman  simply  said  that  psycol- 
ogists  are  a  matter  of  preference 
and  that  he  preferred  Freud.  To 
the  latter  query,  he  replied  that 
"love  is  like  patriotism."  a  loyalty 
to  some  one  which  becomes  less 
conscious  in  later  years. 

Goodman  reiterated,  at  this 
point,  his  thesis  that  there  can 
be  no  love  without  a  sexual  re- 
lationship, because  tlie  sexual  part 
of  life  must  be  integrated  with 
the  other  parts  for  the  fullest 
possible  content.

words,  "to  make  good  citizens." 

Medieval  Ideal 

Goodman  chose  as  his  ideal  the 
European  medieval  University. 
Here  there  were  no  middlemen, 
only  faculty  and  students  operat- 
ing on  a  basis  of  free  exchange. 
To  graduate,  the  student  per- 
formed his  skill  before  a  panel  of 
professors.  When  he  was  good  en- 
ough -  he  "commenced."  The  only 
job  of  the  administrator  was  to 
protect  the  faculty  and  students 
from  the  hostile  influences  of  the 
world  outside. 

Angevine  Design 

Goodman  closed  his  lecture 
with  a  parting  shot  at  the  New 
Era.  He  felt  that  the  Angevine 
Report  contained  a  seemingly  fine 
idea  to  "make  for  better  Youth 
Houses"  and  remove  restrictions 
on  student  contact. 

But  he  gagged  on  the  sentence 
"the  academic  demands  made  up- 
on students  have  become  far 
greater,  and  the  interest  of  stu- 
dents in  graduate  work  requiring 
good  academic  records  has  caused 
a  decided  shift  In  interest." 

"If  that's  the  reason,"  Goodman 
snorted,  "better  give  up  the  whole 
Idea."

Hockey  AU-Star  Team  Includes 
Three  From  Undefeated  |Chipsie8 


Intramural  hockey  champion 
Chi  Psi  dominates  this  year's 
Hockey  All-Star  team,  placing 
three  members  of  its  undefeated 
squad  in  the  honored  sextet. 

Tom  Boyden,  Chi  Psl's  stellar 
defenseman,  and  John  Donovan  of 
Psi  U  led  the  selections,  being  sel- 
ected for  the  second  consecutive 
year.  High-scoring  lineman  Woody 
Knight  and  goalie  John  Foster, 
who  was  unscored  upon  during  the 
regular  season,  were  al.so  honored 
from  the  league  champions. 

Completing  the  intramural 
dream  team  are  Russ  Bradley  of 
Beta,  a  second  team  choice  last 
year,  and  Bruce  Buck  of  KA. 

Second  Team  Choices 

The  second  team  is  composed  of 
three  all-star  repeaters  and  three 
sophomores.  Harry  Hagey,  Chi 
Psi,  Stu  Jones,  Beta  and  John 
Sargent,  KA  were  all  members  of 
last  year's  all-star  team,  while 
sophomores  Bob  Elwell  and  John 
Gepson  of  DU  were  primarily  re- 
sponsible for  the  Zooman's  second 
place  finish. 

Chi  Psi,  now  undefeated  for  the 
past  two  seasons,  and  scored  up- 
on this  season  only  in  the  5-2 
championship  victory  over  DU, 
added  three  Honorable  Mentions 
to   place   seven   Chipsies    on   the 


squad.  The  Chipsies  finished  the 
season  with  a  perfect  10-0  slate. 
KA  had  the  second  largest  con- 
tingent, placing  five  men  in  the 
honored  slots. 

Runner-up  DU  and  Psi  U,  sec- 
ond in  their  league  behind  Chi 
Psi,  both  have  three  players  on 
the  dream  team.  Beta,  Phi  Sig  and 
Phi   Gam   have   two,  and  St.    A., 


Zeta.  and  Phi  Delt  complete  the 
roster  with  one  apiece. 

Looking  ahead  to  next  year,  on- 
ly Poster  of  the  first  team  and 
Gepson,  Worrall  and  Elwell  of  the 
second  team  will  be  back  next 
year.  Chi  Psi  will  be  the  hardest 
hit  by  graduation,  with  six  of  their 
seven  AU-Star  picks  to  be  missed 
next  year.

Phi  Sig  In  Squash,  B-Ball  Finals; 
Challenging  AD,  DU  For  Crowns 


Phi  Sig  will  be  shooting  for  two 
Intramural  championships  this 
week  and  possibly  a  third  as  the 
winter  Intramural  season  draws 
to  a  close. 

The  Phi  Sigs  will  challenge  AD 
for  the  Squash  crown,  and  also 
will  encounter  DU  to  decide  the 
basketball  championship.  Mean- 
while the  Pool  championships  are 
a  toss-up  between  Jim  Munroe  of 
Phi  Sig,  Harry  Lum  of  Phi  Gam 
and  Ted  Ebberts  of  Phi  Delt.  Lum 
and  Ebberts  also  will  vie  for  the 
billiards  crown. 

Spooner  &   Green  Waste  TDX 

Phi  Sig  scored  its  fourth 
straight  2-0  victory  in  the  squash 
preliminaries  this  week  to  advance 
to  the  final  rounds.  Al  Spooner 
won  the  first  match  for  Phi  Sig, 
wasting  John  Wilson  3-0.  Curt 
Green  followed  by  winning  the 
first  two  games  against  Tom  Gre- 
gory and  rallying  to  win  the  fifth 
to  seal  the  win  over  TDX  on  Tues- 
day. The  individual  wins  by 
Spooner  and  Green  made  a  doub- 
les match  unnecessary. 

AD  also  advanced  into  the 
squash  finals,  defeating  St.  A.  on 
Tuesday  by  2-1.  Rick  Berry  of  AD 
beat  Jim  Caldwell  in  the  first 
match  3-0.  However,  Sandy  Gra- 
ham of  the  Saints  nipped  Jim 
Sykes  3-2  in  the  other  singles 
match,  forcing  Sykes  and  Berry 
to  team  up  and  defeat  Graham 
and  Caldwell  3-1. 

In    basketball,   DU    gained   the

New  Dorm  Dungeon 
Rolls  And  Rocks  With 
Tarty-Of-The-Month' 

by  J.   H.  K.   Davis  II 

Where  do  faculty  menibor.s 
twist  while  their  studenl.s  go 
right  on  talking?  Where  do  beer 
and  Bennington  mingle  manically? 
Where  does  "whales  tails"  rival 
Pi-eedom  Rider  songs  for  popu- 
larity? 

For  the  unitiated.  these  remark- 
able phenomena  are  present  at  all 
gatherings  of  the  Party-of-the- 
Month  Club,  a  %iefarious,  pleasure 
seeking  group  that  gets  together 
regularly  in  the  basement  of  the 
New  Dorm  to  propogate  student- 
faculty  relations,  sample  the  best 
of  Cal'.s  winter  stocks,  and  enter- 
tain their  confederates  from  our 
favorite  scliool  in  Sjuthern  Ver- 
mont. 

Gnomes  And  Janitors 

It  all  started  wlien  a  nameless. 
gnome-like  inhabitant  of  the  New 
Dorm  wandered  downstairs  and 
wondered  at  the  huge  expan.se  of 
potential  party  space  spread  out 
before  him.  With  the  moral  and 
financial  suport  of  some  erstwhile 
friends,  a  farewell  celebration  for 
one  of  the  recently-departed  mem- 
bers of  the  academic  community 
was  held,  and  it  was  fun. 

When  this  same  individual  re- 
turned for  a  visit,  anotlier  cele- 
bration was  had  and,  by  gum,  it 
was  fun,  too.  Soon  the  idea  of 
monthly  reunions  was  conceived, 
resulting  in  an  extra  respwnsibility 
for  the  New  Dorm  janitors  and 
fun  and  games  for  the  students — 
every  month. 

This  meager  ration  is  supple- 
mented by  unorganized  individual 
efforts,  but  the  lure  of  the  big 
show  continues  to  draw  support. 

The  last  gathering  feted  Paul 
Goodman  and  the  return  of  Benn- 
ington. Diana  and  AppoUo  cavort- 
ed in  a  style  that  Marlowe  would 
have  envied,  Bacchus  was  there 
to  add  some  spice,  and  everyone 
was  happy.  Excepting  the  janitors, 
of  course. 

Word  of  impending  entertain- 
ment circulates  through  the 
grapevine.  Everyone  with  a  dollar 
and  some  without  are  invited,  ^ 
keep  your  eyes  tuned  to  ttie 
North  Wind  .  .  .

Committee  On  Student  Aid  Drops 
Scholarship  Grade  Requirements 


As  a  result  of  increasingly  ap- 
parent difficulties  with  scholar- 
ship renewal  requirements,  the  Of- 
fice of  Student  Aid  announced 
last  week  a  new  schedule  of  rates. 

The  new  requirements  are  in- 
tended to  simplify  the  renewal 
standards,  and  to  increase  the 
proportion  of  scholarship  aid  a- 
mong  students  receiving  financial 
assistance  from  the  College. 

The  principal  effect  of  the  new 
grade  standards  is  to  reduce  from 
9.0  to  8.0  the  minimum  index  re- 
quired of  upperclassmen  in  order 
to  receive  100  per  cent  renewal 
of  scholarship  for  the  subsequent 
year,  and  to  provide  the  possibil- 
ity for  freshmen  to  receive,  in 
their  sophomore  year,  60  per  cent 
renewal  with  a  4.0  index.  Previous- 
ly, the  minimum  standards  for 
any  freshman  renewal  were  5.4, 
which  yielded  80  per  cent  renewal. 

Henry  N.  Plynt,  Jr.,  Director  of 
the  Office  of  Student  Aid,  in  com- 
menting on  the  new  requirements, 
stated  that  they  would  place  Wil- 
liams "not  very  far  off  the  mark" 
of  offering  aid  comparable  to  that 
offered  by  other  colleges  similar 
to  Williams. 

Past  criticism  of  the  scholarship 
standards  centered  on  their  sev- 
erity. The  old  requirement  for  full 
senior  Scholarship  was  9.0,  a  full 
point  above  dean's  list,  and  only 
a  .25  of  a  point  below  the  four- 
year  average  grade  necessary  for 
Magna  Cum  Laude. 

One  scholarship  student  criti- 
cized the  revision  for  making  no 
provisions  for  married  students  or 
students  taking  more  than  the 
normal  number  of  courses. 

Nevertheless,  the  revision  ex- 
panded coverage  from  26  per  cent 
to  30  per  cent  of  the  student  body. 
The  changes  are  retroactive,  since 
the  1962-1963  grade  averages  will 
affect  the  character  of  aid  grant- 
ed in  1963-1964. 

In  individual  cases,  awards  may 
be  determined  on  the  basis  of  sec- 
ond term  averages  alone  if  the 
first  term  average  has  failed  to 
meet  the  minimum  expectation 
for  full  or  partial  scholarship  aid 

The  revised  schedule  of  per  cent 
of  scholareihlp  grant  to  total  need 
looks  like  this: 


Cheerful  brofhers  dispense  good  cheer  ond  information  on  their  house  to 
visiting  alien  from  the  frosh  squad.  Freshmen  toured  one  house  per  entry 
for  twenty  minutes  on  Sunday  to  show  them  the  "other  side." 


Student    Leaders    Consider    Government ; 
Consensus  Is  For  More  Student  Authority 


A  4.0-4.9  average  earns  60  per 
cent  direct  grant  sophomore  year, 
none  junior  and  senior  years.  A 
5.0-5.9  average  earns  80  per  cent 
sophomore  year,  60  per  cent  jun- 
ior year,  and  none  senior  year.  A 
6.0-6.9  index  earns  90  per  cent 
sophomore  year,  80  per  cent  jun- 
ior year,  and  60  per  cent  senior 
year. 

A  7.0-7.9  average  earns  100  per 
cent  sophomore  year,  90  per  cent 
junior  year,  80  per  cent  senior 
year.  And  an  8.0  average  earns 
full  grant  all  three  years.

Ephlats  To  Perform 
In  Jamaica,  Florida 

The  Williams  College  Ephlets, 
now  in  their  third  year  of  exis- 
tence, have  taken  to  the  road  to 
spread  their  already  international 
fame.  While  others  spend  their  va- 
cations basking  in  Bermuda  sun, 
or  busily  beginning  theses  and 
other  tem  papers,  the  singers  will 
head  south  to  Florida  and 
Jamaica  for  a  two-week  singing 
tour. 

Driving  to  Florida,  where  they 
will  be  engaged  at  the  Hills- 
borough Club,  the  group  will  then 
fly  to  Montego  Bay  in  Jamaica 
for  a  one-week  engagement  at  the 
Casa  Montego  Hotel.  Following 
their  Caribbean  adventure,  the 
group  will  return  to  Florida  and 
sing  at  the  Ocean  Club  In  Delray 
Beach  and  the  Ponte  Vedra  Club 
near  Jacksonville.

The  imminent  transition  in  the 
extra-curricular  Ufe  of  Williams, 
apparently  increasing  student  a- 
pathy  and  student  government  in- 
effectiveness, have  led  to  a  ques- 
tioning of  the  fate  of  student 
government  at  Williams. 

Seeking  an  answer  to  what 
should  be  or  will  be  the  role  of 
student  government,  the  Record 
interviewed  ten  men  on  campus 
who  are  or  have  been  involved 
with  student  government. 

Government  Necessary 

The  consensus  was  that  student 
government  is  necessary  at  two 
levels:  1)  serving  as  a  channel  in 
communicating  between  the  stu- 
dents and  the  administration,  and 
the  converse;  2)  exercising  "del- 
egated authority"  in  organizing 
and  carrying  out  functions  below 
the  level  of  administrative  policy 
making. 

The  administrative  and  student 
viewpoints  differed  as  to  whether 
the  present  government  fulfilled 
the  communication  function.  The 
administration  emphasized  the 
usefulness  of  the  views  of  the 
students;  the  students  spoke  of  the 
apparent  failure  to  communicate 
with   the  administration. 

CC  Absurd 

General  agreement  was  found  a- 
bout*  the  College  Council:  "Ob- 
viously, the  class  election  system 
is  absurd,"  said  Robert  Seidman, 
speaking  for  the  majority.  While 
emphasizing  the  usefulness  of  the 
CC  committees,  all  thought  a  sys- 
tem based  upon  representation  of 
real  interest  groups,  such  as  liv- 
ing units,  would  be  more  func- 
tional than  one  based  on  the  ar- 
bitrary class  division. 

The  ten  decided  that  the  ulti- 
mate decisions  must  lie  with  the 
administration,  but  that  students 
should  have  some  separate  respon- 
sibility in  fields  which  concerned 
their  extra-curricular  life. 
System  Change 

The  group  viewed  the  transition 
as  a  means  to  a  more  effective 
government  through  clearer  com- 
munication and  more  clearly  de- 
lineated lines  of  student  authority. 
Most  agreed  that  apathy  was  not 
a  unique  problem  of  the  present, 
but  that  initiative  for  change  us- 
ually came  from  the  students  or  a 
responsible  minority  thereof. 

The  Ineffectiveness  was  seen  as 
resulting  from  a  confusion  of  au 
thorlty  and  a  breakdown  in  com 
munications,  partly  attributable 
to  the  present  system.  Most 
thought  this  breakdown  could  be 
repaired  with  a  change  in  the 
present  organization.  Quotes  of 
some  of  the  views  of  the  ten  fol- 
low. 

"It's  an  odd  thing."  revealed 
College  Council  President  Scott 
Buchart,    'You  wait  around   for 


something  to  happen.  Yourc  not 
really  governing  the  campus.  Af- 
ter all,  how  many  issues  involve 
the  whole  college?  Now,  if  we  had 
more  authority  ..." 

President  Sawyer,  on  the  other 
hand,  sees  student  government  as 
an  active  force:  "This  college 
couldn't  carry  on  all  the  activities 
that  it  does  without  the  great  a- 
mount  of  student  Initiative  and 
responsibility  for  executing  large 
parts  of  the  program." 

Brokerage  Function 

Bill  Boyd,  president  of  the  class 
of  '63,  pointed  out  that  "the  stu- 
dent government  should  serve  a 
brokerage  function;  it  should 
communicate  up  and  down,  be  a 
liason  between  the  administration 
and  the  students.  Tlie  best  it  can 
do  Is  try  and  modify  the  stand 
of  the  administration." 

"The  standards  have  to  be  set 
by  the  administration  and  the 
trustees,"  emphasized  Dean  R.  R. 
R.  Brooks.  "The  students  should 
organize  and  run  their  own  af- 
fairs . .  .  the  social  life  and  the 
extra-curricular." 

Authority  Unclear 

Davis  Taylor,  chairman  of  the 
Steering  Committee  for  the  new 
social  units,  was  disturbed  over 
the  ambiguity  of  the  present  sit- 
uation: "The  student  government 
doesn't  know  precisely  where  It

Members  of  the  class  of  '66  and 
prospective  fraternity  brothers 
were  permitted  one  brief  glimpse 
into  the  mysterious  Greek-lettered 
houses  last  Sunday.  The  plan  for 
freshmen  to  tour  the  fraternities, 
devised  by  the  Social  and  Fresh- 
man Councils,  was  conceived  to 
allow  tlie  freshmen  to  view  one  of 
tiieir  alternatives  for  the  coming 
year. 

Frosh  gathered  by  entries  and 
marclied  to  their  assigned  houses, 
where,  in  a  twenty-minute  guided 
tour  given  by  the  president  or  an- 
other liouse  officer,  they  viewed 
the  advantages  of  horizontal, 
iiomey  living.  The  houses,  com- 
pletely void  of  all  forms  of  human 
life,  were  immaculately  prepared 
by  the  brothers. 

Bedrooms  were  spotless;  beds 
were  made;  books  were  casually 
thrown  around  to  prove  that  the 
houses  were  not  lacking  in  Intel- 
lectual life;  ash  trays  were  empty; 
in  the  recreation  rooms  a  jukebox 
might  casually  have  been  left 
playing  some  Ray  Charles  num- 
ber; bathrooms  were  lovely.  In 
short,  the  brothers  had,  in  the 
words  of  one  house  president, 
"come  down  at  eight  o'clock  to 
get  everything  cleaned  up  for  you 
guys,  because  tliey  take  pride  in 
something  which  belongs  to  them 
-  an  attitude  you  won't  find  in 
any  social  unit." 

Freshmen  were  riglitfuUy  im- 
pressed by  the  physical  plants  of 
the  houses  -  "You  have  to  be 
crazy  to  join  a  social  unit  after 
seeing  this,"  one  remarked.  Even 
the  loftiest  ideals  of  brotherhood 
seemed  to  permeate  the  house  at- 
mospheres, where  pictures  of  past 
years'  groups  lined  the  walls,  and 
presidents  spoke  in  glowing  terms 
of  the  warmth  and  friendship  and 
gaiety  which  filled  the  hallowed 
halls. 

One  guide  sF>oke  in  brotherly 
terms  of  the  annual  house  party 
given  in  honor  of  a  former  house 
member,  class  of  '57,  who  had 
been  the  house's  only  junior  Phi 
Bete  in  its  history.  The  party  had 
been  thrown  the  night  before  the 
freshman  visit,  and  "the  brothers 
all  pitched  In  to  clean  this  place 
up." 

A  large  number  of  freshmen 
felt  that  the  physical  plant  "is 
only  a  very  small  part  of  what 
comprises    a    fraternity."    Several

Quality  High  In  First  List  Of 
1575  Applicants  To  Class  Of  '67 


By  Tim  Lull 

Applications  for  places  in  the 
class  of  1967  are  up  about  ten 
per  cent  from  last  year  according 
to  Director  of  Admissions  Freder- 
ick C.  Copeland  '35  and  assistant 
director  Philip  K.  Smith  '56.  In  a 
joint  interview  this  week  they 
revealed  that  1575  completed  fold- 


Frederick 


Copelond 


ers  have  been  received  from  2760 
preliminary  applicants. 

Copeland  expressed  excitement 
about  the  quality  of  the  group  on 
the  basis  of  their  grades,  board 
scores  and  recommendations.  He 
discounted  the  rumor  that  appli- 
cations were  down  this  year  be- 
cause of  the  Angevine  uproar.  He 
did  note,  however,  that  many  ap- 
plicants are  very  interested  in  the 
situation  and  that  much  time  In 
interviews  has  been  spent  in  an- 
swering questions. 

The  class  of  '67  will  remain  at 
about  300,  and  Bascom  House  will 
be  used  again  next  year.  The  in- 
formation about  candidates  has 
been  fed  into  the  Data  Processing 
equipment,  revealing  that  once  a- 
galn  the  West  and  the  South  will 
be  spending  increasing  percentag- 
es to  Williams. 

College  Board  scores  for  this 
group  of  applicants  remain  high, 
but  Copeland  stressed  the  fact 
that  no  one  should  expect  higher 
and  higher  board  averages  every 
year.  This  is  merely  one  criterion, 
he  noted. 

Copeland  and  Smith  pointed  out 
that    they    had   visited   30   states 
and  47  major  cities  in  their  trav-

Goodman  And  The  New  Frontier 

Phi  Beta  Kappa  guest  Paul  Goodman  caint'  to  Williamstown 
like  an  early  hint  of  spring.  Goodman's  challenging  and  stimu- 
lating lectures  and  informal  discussions  with  students  were  a 
welcome  departure  from  a  long  series  of  speakers  in  the  tradition 
of  big  names  with  small  messages  that  has  included  obscure 
literati  discussing  even  more  obscure  poets  and  second-rate  T.V. 
"stars"  such  as  Bud  Collyer  and  Edward  R.  Murrow. 

Goodman's  luncheon  discussion  of  sexual  ethics  was  es- 
pecially refreshing.  He  dealt  frankly  and  intelhgently  with  a 
problem  that  is  not  often  discussed  at  Williams.  Not  only  is  the 
problem  not  discussed  formally,  but  judging  by  our,  resti-ictive 
social  regulations,  which  Goodman  would  characterize  as  the 
"provincial  attitudes  of  a  small  part  of  Europe  spread  to  this 
country  after  the  Reformation,"  i.e.  Puritanism,  sexual  adjust- 
ment is  not  even  considered  a  problem  here. 

Another  disturbing  aspect  of  the  discussion  of  the  Goodman 
visit  was  the  lack  of  interest  shown  by  most  of  the  faculty  and 
administration  New  Frontiersmen.  Supposedly  the  new  Williams 
will  be  fraught  with  the  give  and  take  of  discussion.  How  come 
no  challenging  questions  from  the  New  Frontier?  Not  only 
Goodman's  direct  and  implied  attack  on  Williams  as  an  exten- 
sion of  the  Establishment,  but  also  his  criticism  of  the  New  Wil- 
liams' equivalent  of  the  Ninety-nine  Theses,  the  Angevine  Report, 
was  greeted  with  stony  scowls.  Is  it  because  what  Goodman  says 
is  true  or  is  an  administration  already  set  in  its  ways  not  interested 
in  dealing  with  a  comprehensive  attack  on  its  position?

Theatre  Review 

French  Group  Affords  Entertaining  Fantasy 

Fantasy  was  the  order  of  the  day  at  the  AMT  Friday  as  Le 
Treteau  de  Paris  presented  Olradoux"  L'ApoUon  de  Bellao  and  Coc- 
teau's  Orphee.  Le  Ti-eteau  provided  Williamstown  audiences  with  a 
highly  polished  and  elegantly  stylized  evening  of  French  theatre. 

The  Glradoux  worlc,  a  pleasant  if  uninspired  piece  of  theatrical 
fluff,  lent  itself  well  to  the  particular  talents  of  the  troupe.  Glr- 
adoux Is  generally  more  talk  than  anything  else,  and  the  Fi'ench 
players  certainly  talk  well.  The  surface  of  witty  and  intelUgent,  per- 
haps even  wise,  conversation  glittered  pleasantly  in  a  precise  and 
mannered  performance. 

Nicole  Desimnont  was  marvelous  as  Agnes,  providing  just  the 
right  combination  of  charming  naivete  and  growing  cunning  as  she 
discovers  the  success  which  her  new  found  method  brings  her.  Jac- 
ques Ciron  as  the  crotchety  old  receptionist  was  a  comic  delight; 
and  Gaston  Vacchia  blustered  in  grand  style  as  the  president  of  the 
company,  Agnes'  prize.  As  the  man  from  Bellac  who  coaches  Agnes 
.hrough  her  succession  of  triumphs,  Jean-Pierre  Delage  supplied  the 
light  combination  of  good  advice  and  sad  acceptance  of  the  predic- 
table vanities  which  made   his  advice  sound. 

L'ApoUon  de  Bellac  was  at  its  best  in  the  comic  scenes.  The 
more  serious  dialogue  toward  the  conclusion  was  well  done,  but  hard- 
ly worth  listening  to.  Profundity  of  vision  is  not  Olradoux"  strong 
point;  the  message — that  beauty  is  in  the  eyes  of  the  beholder — is 
neither  terribly  original  nor  a  terribly  dramatic  idea.  Nonetheless, 
Le  Treteau  de  Paris  made  the  idle  talk  somehow  fun  to  hear. 

I„'s  really  rather  difficult  to  talk  about  Jean  Cocteau's  Orphee. 
The  play  is  eminently  theatrical,  filled  with  visual  and  auditory  gim- 
micks which  make  it  interesting  to  see.  It's  hard  to  tell  whether 
Cocteau  is  serious — and  in  that  case  incredibly  pretentious — or  whe- 
ther he  is  playing  an  elaborate  joke  on  his  audience.  This  up- 
dated (to  the  '40's  but  not  quite  to  the  '60's)  version  of  the  Or- 
pheus myth  includes  a  poetic  horse,  Eteath  in  an  evening  gown,  a 
guardian  angel,  a  magic  mirror,  and  a  bodiless  head  which  speaks. 

The  strong  point  is  spectacle,  and  the  technical  effects  were  well 
done.  Once  again  the  company  was  exceedingly  polished.  Jean  Pav- 
en's  Heurteblse  and  Christlane  Barry's  Death  were  outstanding.  Ber- 
nard Verley,  who  played  Orphee,  has  been  acclaimed  In  some  circles 
as  a  successor  to  Gerard  Philipe.  If  this  Is  the  cswe,  the  French 
theatre  Is  In  rather  desperate  straits. 

There  Is  no  questioning  the  competence  and  talent  of  Le  Tre- 
teau de  Paris.  But  the  French  drama  has  considerably  more  to  offer 
American  audiences  than  minor  plays  by  minor  playwrights  of  the 
twentieth  century.

Eusden  Talk  Deals 
With  Misconception 
Of  Puritan  Covenant 

By  Bob  Christiansen 

Professor  John  D.  Eusden  de- 
livered the  seventh  in  a  series  of 
eight  faculty  lectures  in  the 
Thompson  Biology  Laboratory  last 
Thursday  on  "The  Puritan  Cov- 
enant of  Grace." 

In  attempting  to  show  thai  Pur- 
itanism was  actually  far  different 
from  the  usual  impression  ii  casts 
on  people,  Eusden  drew  John  Cot- 
ten's  sermons  from  ila'  First 
Church  of  Boston  in  1640  into  his 
talk.  Pi-om  these  and  other  Puri- 
tan doctrines  Eusden  has  como  to 
profess  that  the  central  idea  of 
Puritanism,  a  theological  rntity, 
was  "God's  concern  for  man" 

According  to  the  lecturer  the 
typical  view  of  Puritanism  is  a 
misconception.  This  banal  opinion 
depicts  a  Puritan  as  an  individual 
with  extremely  strict  moral  and 
religious  values.  This  represenia- 
tlon  was  generally  true  only  for 
the  "best"  Puritans  who  were  pri- 
marily members  of  the  first  sen- 
eratlon  of  Puritans  -  those  of  the 
"first  flash  of  enthusiasm." 

The  "best"  Puritans  were  chief- 
ly identified  by  their  desire  for 
piU'iflcatlon.  They  were  self-pro- 
claimed evangelicals  who  sought 
simplicity.  Most  of  all  they  want- 
ed to  correct  the  evils  of  the 
church.  "These  people  felt  the 
Bible  to  be  an  inspiring  book,  but 
not  an  Inspired  book,"  said  Eus- 
den. 

The  stern  temper  of  the  Cal- 
vinist  In  early  history  is  read  into 
one's  opinion  of  the  Puritans  in 
most  cases.  Actually  the  Puritans 
were  not  as  harsh  or  strict  con- 
cerning such  things  as  drink  and 
sex  as  most  people  were  inclined  to 
believe.  On  many  occasions  the 
consumption  of  alcohol  was  con- 
sidered permissable,  and  sexual  re- 
lationships were  looked  upon  as 
being  very  sacred  and  beneficial. 
As  for  their  religion  the  Pur- 
itans obtained  the  classification 
of  an  Old  Testament  people.  With 
a  sharpness  of  mind  they  follow- 
ed the  principles  of  Augustinian  - 
"Theology  of  the  Father." 

Eusden  said  that  God  was  per- 
vasively related  to  all  men  and 
that  He  will  accept  all  men. 

The  lecturer  stated  that  the 
I*urltans  were  not  the  first  to  fol- 
low the  "Covenant  of  Grace."  Ac- 
tually it  began  In  the  second  cen- 
tury. 

According  to  this  covenant,  man 
does  not  have  to  fear  God  for  He 
Is  not  a  court  of  laws.  Man's  part 
is  to  receive  the  covenant  of  God. 
This  role  cannot  be  entirely  pas- 
sive. Man  must  also  take  an  ac- 
tive participation  In  the  covenant. 


'Superior  Risks'

els  this  year.  They  lauded  the  role 
of  alumni  in  each  of  these  places 
for  making  suggestions  as  to 
which  schools  to  visit  and  for  stir- 
ring up  interest  in  Williams. 

When  asked  about  how  schools 
were  chosen  for  visits,  they  ex- 
plained that  it  Involves  a  com- 
bination of  alumni  recommenda- 
tions, past  Interest  and  experi- 
mentation. Smith  stated  that  In 
some  areas,  such  as  Washington, 
D.  C,  It  was  necessary  to  stagger 
visits  from  year  to  year. 

Copeland  noted  that  candidates 
are  being  notified  as  soon  as  they 
are  no  longer  being  considered,  so 
that  they  can  make  other  plans. 
No  candidate  Is  forced  to  commit 
himself  to  Williams  before  the 
Uniform  Candidate's  Reply  Date 
of  May  1. 

Ten  Per  Cent  Plan 

Both  noted  that  the  first  steps 
have  been  taken  toward  selecting 
candidates  for  the  10  per  cent 
plan.  Interest  has  been  very  great 
In  this,  and  many  schools  have 
recommended  students  as  possible 
candidates  for  It.  Copeland  stress- 
ed the  fact  that  these  students

By  R.  Lisle  Baker 

Much  of  the  recent  muddle  over  freshman 
choice  between  the  social  units  and  the  houses 
comes  from  confusion  about  the  role  of  fraternities 
in  the  New  Williams. 

For  its  part,  the  administration  has  hung  an 
"either-or"  sign  over  the  freshman  options,  and 
worse,  the  pro-fraternity  people  have  swallowed 
this  hokum,  unwittingly  playing  into  the  admin- 
istration's hands  by  arguing  on  the  same  basis. 

The  Real  Situation 

In  fact,  the  Angevine  Report  envisioned  a  Wil- 
liams where  the  fraternities  (without  room  and 
board)  and  the  .social  units  would  exist  side  by 
side.  Conceivably,  the  Class  of  '66  could  be  fra- 
ternity members  and  live  In  the  social  units  at  the 
same   time. 

Nowhere  does  the  Report  say  that  a  fraternity 
man  cannot  eat  and  sleep  in  a  social  unit,  or  that 
a  member  of  a  social  unit  cannot  be  a  brother  in 
good  standing  in  a  house. 

The  college  is  doing  the  freshmen  a  disservice 
by  forcing  on  them  a  false  choice,  seemingly  aimed 
only  at  filling  the  first  social  units. 

But  if  the  sophomores  can  join  houses,  what 
will  fraternities  offer  them'  It's  certain  if  they  of- 
fer nothing,  without  the  props  of  room  and  board 
they'll  fade  out  in  no  time. 

But  there  is  yet  hope. 

Angevine  Advantages 

Houses  in  the  future  will  haye  one  large  ad- 
vantage over  houses  of  today.  Whereas  much  of 
the  vitality  of  the  fraternities  has  been  dissipated 
into  stuffing  the  face  and  the  mattress  of  eighty- 
five  per  cent  of  the  upperclass  college  community, 
houses  soon  may  be  able  to  limit  their  member- 
ship to  those  who  are  really  interested  in  joining 
a  fraternity,  rather  than  those  who  joined  because 
no  decent  alternative  existed. 

Now  you've  got  a  dedicated  membership.  What 
are  they  going  to  be  dedicated  to?  "Fraternity"  is 
an  awful  vague  term. 

The  trouble  is  that  a  fraternity  is  an  awful 


vague  institution.  They  can't  be  classified  easily  in 
a  pat  phrase. 

The  fraternities  appeal  lies  In  their  mystique. 
This  is  a  sense  of  community  arising  from  a  com- 
mon allegiance  to  third  entity  founded  on  tradition. 

The  fraternities,  like  the  Scottish  regiments, 
are  based  <if  they  are  to  be  at  all  successful)  on  a 
certain  esprit  de  corps.  Not  only  do  you  make 
good  friends  (which  you  can  do  just  as  easily  In  a 
social  unit)  but  ideally  you  commit  yourself  to 
something  higher  than  yourself  —  not  to  just  the 
welfare  of  you  and  your  immediate  cohorts. 

This  is  the  real  value  of  fraternities,  and  the 
one  on  which  they  have  built  their  traditions.  Now 
they  have  a  chance  to  reassert  them. 

In  fact,  the  Angevine  Report  may  prove  the 
houses'  salvation.  By  pumping  out  the  bilge,  it  may 
help  the  old  ships  to  float  again. 

CoUege  Aid 

And  it  is  In  the  Interest  of  the  college  to  help 
them  out.  The  futm-e  Williams  fraternities  can 
provide  a  haven  for  the  principle  of  service  beyond 
the  self.  And  an  education  that  does  not  teach  it 
can  do  more  harm  than  good. 

The  main  problem  is  financial.  First,  the  col- 
lege can  provide  some  increased  form  of  short-term 
aid  to  members  of  the  class  of  '66  who  do  join 
houses  next  September.  Since  the  college  doesn't 
expect  to  have  eating  and  sleeping  facilities  pro- 
vided for  everyone  by  1965,  or  even  1966,  some  of 
the  class  will  be  living  in  the  houses  as  Seniors. 
Since  the  tax  rates  and  maintenance  won't  decline, 
the  college  can't  expect  to  make  one  pledge  class 
pay  the  costs  of  three — -simply  because  it  is  the 
last  to  live  in. 

The  college  can  also  continue  the  regular  as- 
sistance it  now  gives  to  scholarship  students  who 
join.  If  fraternities  are  going  to  be  worthwhile, 
provision  should  be  made  to  insure  that  they  don't 
become  the  provinces  of  the  affluent  few. 

If  the  freshmen  can  get  some  definite  state- 
ment from  the  college  on  these  issues,  then  maybe 
they  can  better  decide  what  they  are  going  to  do.

has  responsibility  and  where  it 
doesn't.  The  students  should  have 
responsibility  where  the  ramifica- 
tions of  their  efforts  affect  only 
themselves." 

While  ex-CfC  President  D.  Gard- 
ner '57  didn't  "Icnow  if  any  of 
the  existing  regulations  will  be 
changed,"  he  brought  out  the  ne- 
cessity of  "the  college  setting  up 
very  general  standards;  those 
would  be  defined  in  more  detail 
by  the  students  themselves." 
Communication  Fails 
"Ideally,  the  students  should 
govern  the  campus  community." 
thought  B.M.O.C.  Robert  Seidman. 
"Now,  there  are  a  lot  of  peripheral 
things  that  can  be  dealt  with  . . . 
in  the  past,  the  government  ha.s 
not  worlced  as  an  organ  of  com- 
munications between  the  students 
and  the  administration." 

Future  Dean  of  Freshmen  John 
Hyde  was  (pore  optimistic  about 
the  student  government  as  a 
"channel  of  communication." 
Hyde  stated:  "It  is  necessary  for 
both  the  students  and  the  admin- 
istration to  have  some  means  to 
inform  each  other  for  decisions 
and  the  formation  of  student 
rules." 

"I  can't  see  a  situation  wheie 
the  students  should  have  com- 
plete authority,"  mused  ex-CC 
President  Stu  Brown  '63,  "but  in 
any  area  where  the  students  as- 
sume responsibility,  they  should  be 
held  to  it.  The  administration 
should  be  wary,  having  given  stu- 
dent responsibility,  of  taking  it  a- 
way." 

Universal  expert  Holt  Quinlan 
held  that  "Change  comes  because 
the  administration  wants  it  ... 
the  administration  should  lay 
down  all  policy,  but  they  should 
consult  the  students."  Quinlan 
sees  the  government  as  an  instru- 
ment to  "plan  Its  own  positive  ex- 
tracurricular functions,  but  it 
should  not  be  a  police  force."

Press  Prints  Glee  Club  Withdrawal 
From  Concert ;  Virginians  Disturbed 


By  John  D.  Rawls 

The  recent  cancellation  of  the 
Williams  Glee  Club's  concert  at 
Mary  Washington  College  of  the 
University  of  Virginia  has  been 
reported  in  several  newspapers  and 
carried  on  national  newswires. 
The  story  was  first  published  in 
the  March  13  issue  of  the  Wil- 
liams Record. 

At  least  four  Boston  papers 
printed  the  story,  under  such 
lieadllnes  as  "Williams  Cancels 
Virginia  Concert  Over  Racial  Dis- 
pute" and  "WiUiams  Glee  Club 
Cancels  Visit  Due  To  Southern 
Bias."  The  Associated  Press  re- 
lease was  carried  in  the  Rich- 
mond Times-Dispatch  under  a 
lieadline  reading  "Glee  Club  Not 
to  Sing  At  College."  The  United 
Press  International  also  printed  a 
release. 

Lively  R«action  in  Virginia 

The  Washington  Post  reported 
the  incident  on  the  first  page  of 
its  Sunday  issue.  Referring  to  "the 
Williams  College  (IWass.)  Glee 
Club."  the  article  quoted  a  Mary 
Washington  spokesman  in  saying 
that  the  women's  college's  direc- 
tor of  music,  George  Lundtz,  was 
unaware  that  there  were  Negroes 
ill  the  Williams  group  when  the 
concert  was  scheduled. 

Poet  Kunitz  Speaks 
On  Russian  Artists, 
Freedom,    Scientists 

By  S.  Torrey  Orton 

Pulitzer  Pi-ize-winning  poet 
Stanley  Kunitz  characterized  the 
poet  as  "the  representative  free 
man  of  our  time"  in  his  lecture 
delivered  Monday  evening  in  Jesup 
Hall.  Kunitz  ranged  from  modem 
politics  to  modern  art  in  his  ap 
proach  to  the  problem  of  "Order 
and  Disorder." 

The  recent  upwurge  of  the  Rus- 
sian creative  arts  received  little 
approbation,  as  Evgeny  Yevtu- 
shenko  was  remarked  to  be  mere- 
ly a  "hero,"  but  little  more  for 
his  failure  to  escape  the  "rhetoric 
of  socialist  realism."  Kunitz  had 
Icind  words  for  the  recently  pub- 
lished The  Triangular  Pear,  which 
was  condemned  along  with  ab- 
stract painting  by  Chairman 
Khrushchev  for  being  "unpatrio- 
tic formalist  art." 

The  excessive  obscurity  and  am- 
biguity of  many  modern  poets  was 
credited  as  being  elemental  to  the 
freedom  of  expression  possessed  by 
poets.  They  tend  to  "cultivate  the 
myth  of  their  difficulty"  as  a  re- 
sult. 

Beats  are  Best 

Kunitz  described  the  business  of 
the  artist  to  be  the  constant 
testing  of  the  limits  of  style  with- 
in the  confines  of  any  generation. 
For  this  reason  he  lauded  the  pre- 
sent avant-garde  of  the  beat  set 
for  providing  constant  prodding 
and  criticism  of  contemporary  art 
forms. 

"Artists  and  scientists  comprise 
a  fraternity  of  the  imagination." 
On  this  basis  Kunitz  went  on  to 
point  out  the  relation  of  modern 
scientific  understanding  to  move- 
ments In  modern  poetry  and  art. 
Artistic  absurdity  was  held  to  be 
a  development  of  the  discrediting 
of  "the  concept  of  the  truly  real" 
by  modern  physics. 

The  great  problem  of  modern 
art  is  that  "Freedom  has  a  little 
brother  whose  name  Is  Respon- 
sibility." An  artist  alone  can  pre- 
sent the  whole  of  the  human  con- 
dition, but  for  the  art  to  be  real 
it  must  Involve  a  commitment  of 
the  artist  (poet,  painter  or  what- 
ever), or  the  art  becomes  mere 
form  with  no  content. 

But  to  commit  oneself  to  the 
material  presented  may  mean  the 
breakdown  of  the  disinterested  ar- 
tistic point  of  view.  Kunitz  thus 
characterized  poetry  as  an  "In- 
strument of  transcendence." 


Interest  in  the  incident  wa.s 
strong  on  the  Fredericksburg 
campus  of  the  girl's  school.  Lottei  s 
were  mailed  to  the  Record  asking 
for  details  and  student  reaction 
in  Williamstown.  In  a  letter  pub-

freshman  stated  that:

By  Steve  Gillespie 

The  Non-Affiliates,  perennially 
a  seat  of  opposition  to  college 
policy,  are  now  the  center  of  a 
new  protest.  The  administration, 
while  understandably  harassed  by 
loyalties  to  institutionalized  fra- 
ternization, had  hoped  that  the 
Non-Affiliates  would  welcome  the 
Angevine  Committee  Report  and 
subsequent  conclusions  of  the 
Trustees.  But,  though  many  en- 
thusiastic supporters  of  the  "social 
units"  are  N.A.'s,  a  small  "hard 
core"  remains  hostile  to  the  new 
units. 

Radical  members  resent  the  en- 
forced demise  of  the  fraternity 
system  itself.  Tliey  maintain  that 
the  college  should  have  ignor- 
ed the  students  who  did  not  recog- 
nize the  disadvantages  of  the 
fraternity. 

Oppose  Student  Rule 

Moderates  see  in  the  new  units 
an  effort  on  the  part  of  the  ad- 
ministration further  to  extend  its 
discipline  over  the  student  body. 
These  dissenters  paradoxically  feel 
that  they  do  not  want  to  be  re- 
sponsible to  other  students,  i.e.  the 
Steering  Conunittees.  but  would 
instead  like  to  answer  directly  to 
the  administration  for  their  be- 
havior. They  see  the  social  units 
as     "institutional"     surroundings 


with  a  communal  way  of  living 
fundamentally  incompatible  with 
healthy  individual  development  - 
both  morally  and  intellectually.

Those  opposed  to  the  new  social 


"It  will  be  interesting  to  see 
how  the  houses  weather  the 
storm"  remarked  Greg  Sweatland, 
editor  of  the  Amherst  Student,  to 
the  inquiries  of  the  Record  on 
Wednesday  evening.  He  continued 
units  and  resentful  of  "College  to  make  interesting  comments 
Paternalism."  would  prefer  a  cam-  concerning  Amherst's  plans  for 
pus  of  Morgan  Halls.  Each  indi-  construction  of  three  "luxurious" 
vidual  would  be  allowed  to  fulfill  new  living  units,  planned  to  be

These  free  thinkers  argue  that  all  four  classes,  in  the  new  units;

his  own  mistakes  as  well  as  in  re- 


ceiving the   maximum  opportuni- 
ties of  his  Williams  education. 

Principal  to  the  thinking  of 
these  hostiles  is  an  abhorrence  of 
the  college's  effort  to  alleviate  in- 
evitable pains  and  trials  of  matur-  fraternitiesT  Before 'room-di'awing'

attention  be  turned  toward  an  im- 


proved curriculum  and  better 
teaching  salaries  -  issues  far  more 
fundamental  to  the  existence  of

Like,  Man,  It's  Spring 


First  Spring  Meeting  of  the  Morgon  Hall  Glee  and  Perloo  Society  took  ploce 
on  this  unoutpicioui  Kre  eieope.  Two  members,  less  eager  for  public  acclaim 
than  their  fellows,  requested  the  RECORD  to  preserve  their  anonymity.  Each 
year,  said  society  welcomes  the  first  bright  doys  heralding  the  end  of  the 
long,  hard,  arduous  and  extremely  messy  Williamstown  Winter.  Wistful 
(ovont  Bill  Boyd,  for  right,  ponders  the  ponderous.  Murray  Ross,  center, 
hides  behind  hit  shodes  from  inquiring  RECORD  photographer.  True  to  cli- 
matic pattern,  it  snowed  the  day  after  the  Society  held  its  annual  gathering. 


The  first  report  has  been  released  by  the  Standing  Com- 
niittee  to  inform  students  and  uhiinni  that  the  Class  of  1967, 
wliich  will  enter  the  eollege  as  freshmen  next  fall,  will  be  housed 
and  fed  by  tlie  college  for  all  four  years  of  their  undergraduate 
career.  Tliis  reijort  also  stated  that  facilities  may  be  ready  by  tlie 
lull  of  1965  which  will  enable  tlie  college  to  house  and  feed  all 
of  the  undergraduates.  By  1966-67,  all  undergraduates  will  be  out 
of  fraternities  and  into  college-operated  social  units. 

This  schedule,  which  was  combined  with  several  proposals 
to  the  fraternities  concerning  the  dis|50sal  of  their  property, 
was  released  at  two  separate  meetings  on  Tuesday  afternoon. 

In  WilliamstowTi,  D.  Gardner,  representative  of  the  Standing 
Committee,  met  with  the  combined  College  Council-Social  Coun- 
cil to  discuss  the  projjosals.  In  New  York  City,  President  Sawyer, 
Talcott  M.  Banks  '29,  chairman  of  the  Standing  Committee,  and 
Henry  N.  Flynt,  Sr.  '16,  senior  member  of  the  Boartl  of  Trustees, 
met  with  the  Graduate  Committee  on  Fraternities. 

While  this  timetable  was  not  unexpected,  many  shidents 
were  surprised  by  the  proposal  to  allow  fraternities  to  combine  as 
organizations  of  some  influence.  Under  these  coiKhtions,  a  fra- 
ternity would  sponsor  a  new  residential  unit  to  effect  the  transi- 
tion to  small  group  living.  In  es- 
sence, this  means  that  a  fraterni- 
ty, after  turning  over  its  property 
to  the  college,  could  still  main- 
tain some  control  over  how  the 
hou.se  is  run  by  the  college.  It 
would  also  allow  fraternity  alum- 
ni to  exercise  some  control. 

According  to  this  proposal,  the 
decision  by  a  house  to  sponsor  a 
residential  unit  (newspeak  for  soc- 
ial unit)  would  enable  members 
to  assure  sophomores  next  fall 
that  they  can  remain  for  three 
years  in   the    house. 

Maintain  Chapter  Rooms 
The  college  has  also  expressed 
a  desli'e  to  aid  any  house  which 
turns  its  property  over  for  use  as 
a  residential  unit.  Fraternities 
would  be  allowed  to  maintain  a 
chapter  room  as  well  as  what- 
ever fraternity  memorabilia  the 
house  might  have  accumulated. 

The  Trustees  and  the  standing 
committee  have  also  been  working 
on  plans  to  convert  the  fraternity 
properties  into  buildings  which 
will  function  as  part  of  a  long- 
range  plan  of  college  organization. 
Certain  houses  will  become  resi- 
dential units,  while  others  will  be 
converted  into  language  labora- 
tories, centers  for  student  activi- 
ties, buildings  for  honors  seminars 
and  faculty  offices. 

An  important  consideration  is 
the  cash  payment  which  the  col- 
lege proposes  to  remit  to  any 
house  to  alleviate  financial  strain, 
which  is  inevitable  during  the 
transition.  While  it  is  hoped  that 
the  fraternities  will  simply  pre- 
sent the  college  with  their  proper- 
ty, any  demands  for  retribution 
will  be  considered. 

This  money  may  be  used  to  con- 
struct a  smaller  building  which 
the  fraternity  will  use  for  social 
purposes,  or  else  it  may  be  given 
back  to  the  college  to  establish 
memorial  scholarships.  These 
Continued   on  Page  2,  Col.    1 


stated  that,  inasmuch  as  these 
new  buildings  will  be  "the  best 
places  to  live"  on  campus,  there 
will  probably  be  a  large  number 
of  students  from  the  Class  of  '64 
who  will  wish  to  take  advantage 
of   the  situation   and   drop  from 


this  spring,  a  greater  than  nor- 
mal number  of  f  rosh  independents 
are  expected  to  blossom  forth  a- 
long  with  all  the  other  buds. 
This  is   the  first  time  in  Am- 


seemed  to  think  that  in  reaction 
to  the  Angevine  Report  and  Am- 
herst's desire  for  a  "redefinition" 
of  the  fraternities'  position  on 
campus,  and  due  to  competition 
bix)ught  into  play  by  the  new 
units,  two  or  three  of  the  weaker 
houses  may  fold  in  the  near  fu- 
ture.

Cancellation  Reaction  .  . . 


Editorial 

Out  With  Old,  In  With  The  New 

Spring  may  be  a  little  late  this  year,  and  indeed  we  wonder 
if  it  will  ever  arrive,  but  the  New  Williams,  which  neither  rain 
nor  sleet  nor  snow  can  deter,  is  right  on  schedule.  Tlie  release 
earlier  this  week  of  a  series  of  definite  plans,  with  more  promised 
within  the  next  two  months,  would  seem  to  indicate  that  every- 
thing is  well  under  control,  which  we  at  times  feared  was  not 
the  case. 

The  plans  are  encouraging  in  several  respects  and  all  con- 
cerned deserve  a  tip  of  tlie  editorial  hat,  although  it  pains  us  to 
admit  that  anyone  else  could  be  right,  or  even  partially  so.  What 
we  find  surprising  about  the  statement  was  the  consideration  of 
student  responsibility  and  student  initiative  reflected  in  the  num- 
ber of  alternatives  left  open  to  the  fraternities.  After  making  most 
of  the  decisions  u]5  to  this  ]3oint  on  the  fraternity  problem,  the 
powers-that-be  have  ajDparently  decided  to  leave  the  rest  up  to 
the  students.  Moreover,  they  have  shown  a  touching  consideration 
for  fraternity  "sacredness"  by  encouraging  such  institutions  as 
chapter  rooms  and  trophy  halls  within  the  residential  units. 

By  offering  any  number  of  alternatives,  the  next  move  has 
been  left  up  to  fraternities  to  save  themselves  from  extinction. 
By  next  fall,  the  houses  must  submit  some  sort  of  plan  to  explain 
precisely  how  and  where  they  plan,  if  at  all,  to  continue.  Perhaps 
some  of  the  seemingly  boundless  fraternity  energy,  which  has 
heretofore  been  devoted  to  obstinancy  and  intramurals,  may  be 
directed  into  more  constructive  areas. 

The  fraternities  have  been  notably  delinquent  about  adapt- 
ing themselves  to  any  new  situation,  a  complacency  which,  in  a 
large  measure,  brought  on  tlie  Angevine  Beport,  Fraternities  re- 
fused to  "mature,"  as  it  were,  into  organizations  capable  of  exist- 
ing within  an  academic  community.  This  may  be  their  last  chance 
because,  if  no  one  believed  it  before,  the  Trustees  were  in  deadly 
earnest  when  they  approved  the  Angevine  Beport, 

The  college  must  continue  to  encourage  student  responsi- 
bility by  offering  as  many  alternatives  as  possible.  The  possibility 
of  being  a  non-affiliate,  a  member  of  neither  a  fraternity  nor  a 
social  unit,  must  continue  since  many  students  have  no  intention 
of  becoming  involved  in  the  administrative  boggle  which  other 
students,  not  surprisingly,  plan  to  impose  on  themselves  in  the 
social  units.  The  best  plan  would  be  to  leave  at  least  one  dormi- 
tory, possibly  either  Morgan  Hall  or  West  College,  open  to  non- 
affiliates  who  simply  can't  be  bothered  with  the  social  units. 

Another  possibility  would  be  to  permit  off-campus  living 
again.  To  alleviate  crowding  when  tlie  college  expands  and  no 
suitable  facilities  have  yet  been  constructed,  this  seems  feasible. 
It  would  simply  not  be  a  bad  idea  to  allow  students,  seniors  at 
leasts  to  live  off-campus  as  they  did  several  years  ago,  opening 
yet  another  alternative. 

Finally,  we  would  encourage  the  faculty,  as  a  mass  and  as 
scattered  committees,  to  keep  u|i  with  the  architects  in  their 
planning  the  curriculum  and  other  ancillary  institutions.  The  de- 
cisive meetings  are  coming  up,  so  be  prepared. 

Until  then,  gentle  readers,  may  you  all  return  sunburned  and 
hung-over.

plan  for  new  construction  on  the 
campus.  At  least  one  new  residen- 
tial unit  will  be  built  by  the  fall 
of  1964,  probably  on  the  Greylock 
corner.  This  unit  will  be  comprised 
on  three  or  four  smaller  living 
units  which  will  share  certain 
communal  properties:  dining

spring  vacation,  when  ground  will 
be  broken  for  the  new  dining

and  the  New  Dorm.  These  three 
buildings  will  comprise  the  first 
social  unit,  which  will  be  in  oper- 
ation next  fall  and  which  will 
serve  approximately  150  students. 


Letter  To  The  Editor 

Alumni  President 
Oi  Kappa  Alpha 
Clarifies  Position 

The  Editors: 

At  the  present  stage  of  the  dis- 
cussion of  tlie  fraternity  system 
at  Williams  College,  it  may  be 
helpful  to  reiterate  the  position 
taken  by  the  Trustees  of  the  Kap- 
pa Alpha  Society  of  Williams- 
town,  Massachusetts, 

Last  July,  following  the  an- 
nouncement by  the  Trustees  of 
Williams  College  of  their  decision 
to  implement  the  recommen- 
dations made  by  the  Angevine 
Committee,  the  Ti'ustees  of  the 
Kappa  Alpha  Society  offered  to 
donate  its  house  and  the  adjacent 
lot  at  the  corner  of  Main  and 
North  Streets  to  Williams  College 
when  they  could  be  incorporated 
in  plans  to  implement  the  recom- 
mendations of  the  Angevine  Com- 
mittee, 

It  was  made  clear,  however,  that 
this  offer  was  contingent  upon 
the  adoption  of  a  comprehensive 
program  whereby  all  undergrad- 
uates will  be  obliged  to  live  and 
eat  in  facilities  provided  by  Wil- 
liams College,  Consequently,  the 
gift  would  not  take  effect  until 
the  adoption  of  a  program  appli- 
cable to  all  Williams  fraternities. 

One  of  the  recommendations  of 
the  Angevine  Committee  was  that 
fraternities  "be  allowed  to  con- 
tinue to  function  with  maximum 
freedom,"  In  our  offer  to  the  Col- 
lege, it  was  stated  that  it  was 
our  intent  to  endeavor  to  continue 
the  Kappa  Alpha  Society  at  Wil- 
liams College  in  accordance  with 
the  recommendations  of  the  An- 
gevine Report, 

The  Kappa  Alpha  Society  is  the 
first  of  the  college  social  frater- 
nities with  Greek  letter  designa- 
tions, and  its  Williams  Chapter, 
established  in  1833,  was  the  first 
fraternity  at  Williams  College 
Throughout  its  history,  our  Soc- 
iety has  sought  to  serve  the  high- 
est interests  of  Williams,  and  this 
is  and  will  continue  to  be  a  con 
trolling  purpose  of  our  organiza- 
tion. 

Very  truly  yours,

Its  "distinguished  alumni." 

The  college  aUso  plans  to  re- 
tain any  fraternity  employees, 
such  as  caretakers  or  cooks,  to 
work  in  the  new  system. 

■Intellisrent.  Not  Hostile' 

D.  Gardner  said,  after  his  meet- 
ing, that  the  reactions  were  "in- 
telligent and  not  hostile."  It  is 
understood  that  most  of  the 
houses  plan  to  consider  the  col- 
lege offer  in  meetings  over  the 
Spring  recess  and  house  state- 
ments should  be  forthcoming  after 
vacation.

SANE   Analyzes  Nuclear  Madness 


By  George  Fourier 

Quoting  the  words  of  a  well- 
known  Cheshire  cat,  "We're  all 
mad  here,"  Woodrow  Wilson  Pro- 
fessor of  Government  Frederick  L. 
Schuman  opened  the  panel  on  the 
Geneva  Disarmament  Talks  pre- 
sented by  the  Northern  Berkshire 
Chapter  of  SANE  Tuesday  even- 
ing in  Jesup  Hall. 

Schuman's  pessimistic  position 
on  the  topic  underscored  frighten- 
ingly  the  madness  of  the  world  in 
which  we  live.  The  alternative 
position  to  madness,  hope  and  ne- 


gotiation, was  presented  by  John 
Connor  '63,  and  Jerome  King  of 
the  Political  Science  Department. 

The  present  "long  and  melan- 
choly" disarmament  talks  are  pre- 
cedentcd  by  no  less  than  863  such 
conferences  in  the  past  64  years, 
Scliuman  stated.  An  end  to  the 
"monstrous  and  dangerous"  arms 
race  is  nowhere  in  sight,  despite 
the  wordy  efforts  of  the  17-mem- 
ber  conference  now  convened  in 
Geneva. 

The  reason  for  the  present 
deadlock   is,  as  the  "negotiators"

put  it,  disagreement  on  inspection 
and  conti-ol  of  disarmament.  This 
is  in  actuality  an  artificial  im- 
passe created  by  the  two  super- 
powers, each  of  whose  particular 
military  startegies  would  be  des- 
troyed if  the  specific  demands  of 
the  other  were  met.  Each  side  is 
thus  striving:  for  military  advan- 
tage, not  disarmament  based  on 
mutual  confidence;  "negotiators" 
is  a  misnomer  and  the  prospect  of 
disarmament  an  illusion. 

Limited  Warfare 

John  Connor  '63,  provided  a 
possible  alternative  to  nuclear  hol- 
ocaust in  the  concept  of  limited 
war,  in  the  form  of  a  dialogue. 
Quoting  from  his  honors  thesis, 
Connor  proposed  that  future  mil- 
itary planners  recognize  the  ob- 
jectives of  war,  and  the  madness 
of  having  those  objectives  include 
the  annihilation  of  the  human 
race. 

As  a  sobering  note,  Connor  not- 
ed the  possibility  that  a  limited 
war  might  not  necessarily  stay 
limited  once  defeat  of  a  pow- 
er was  imminent.  The  horrors  of 
even  a  small  "limited"  nuclear 
weapon  were  underscored  by  the 
fact  that  Hiroshima  and  Nagasaki 
were  victims  of  relatively  tiny 
bombs. 

United  Nations  Optimism 

King,  answering  the  dire  fore- 
cast of  history,  stressed  that  wider 
education  and  United  Nations  dip- 
lomacy provided  a  workable  means 
of  effecting  disarmament.  "We 
must  learn  to  compromise  with 
nations  we  don't  like,"  and  in  this 
way  end  the  madness  of  man.

Spring  Sports  Set  To  Start  Season  In  South 


By  Poek  Otis 

Six  Williams  Teams  are  going 
South  this  vacation. 
BaiiebaU 

The  baseball  team,  led  by  cap- 
tains George  Mayer  and  John 
Donovan,  heads  for  Dixie  next 
week.  Coach  Coombs  and  nearly 
all  of  the  25 -man  squad  will  cover 


most  of  North  Carolina  during 
their  thirteen  day  schedule  of  fif- 
teen games. 

The  team  plans  to  be  in  Gull- 
ford,  N.C.  the  25th  and  26th  of 
March;  Louisburg  the  27th  and 
28th;  and  Wilmington  the  29th 
and  30th.  On  April  1st  and  2nd 
they   will  be   at  Pfeiffer  College, 


the  3rd  and  4th  at  Pembroke  Col- 
lege, and  will  finish  on  the  6th 
and  6th  at  Elon  College.  Each  of 
the  six  college  teams  will  play 
Williams  twice  with  at  least  two 
double  headers  scheduled. 

Outlook  for  the  post-vacation 
twelve  game  season  is  bright.

pitching  staff  to  use,  and  some 
good  new  bench  strength.  The 
toughest  games  coming  up  seem  to 
be:  Springfield,  armed  with  re- 
turning All-American  Archie 
Moore;  Holy  Cross  and  its  "bonus 
babies";  Amherst,  and  U.  Mass. 
Lacrosse 

The  25-man  Lacrosse  team  un- 
der Coach  Art  Robinson  is  going 
only  as  far  as  tlie  "Shallow 
South."  Leaving  March  23rd,  they 
plan  to  travel  directly  to  Rutgers 
in  New  Jersey,  there  to  play  Cor- 
nell on  the  Rutgers  field. 

Marcli  25  will  bring  the  regular 
workouts,  to  be  followed  by  a 
contest  with  Rutgers  on  the  26th. 
More  routine  workouts  at  Rutgers 
on  the  27th  precede  a  game  with 
Kenyon  College  at  Baltimore  on 
the  28th. 

The  team  will  play  its  first  of- 
ficial game  at  Baltimore  against 
Baltimore  on  April  2.  Next  comes 
an  unofficial  match  on  the  3rd 
and  a  scrimmage  on  the  4tli  with 
Princeton.  The  team  meets  Uni- 
versity of  Massachusetts  on  the 
5th  and  caps  the  sequence  with  a 
final  match  against  Union  at  U. 
Mass,  on  April  6th. 
Track 

The  15-man  track  team  goes  to 
Florida  for  a  three  meet  schedule 
next  week. 

The  first  meet  is  at  Miami  with 
Ferman  on  March  27th.  The  sec- 
ond is  with  Miami  at  Miami  on 
April  2nd.  The  last  is  a  triangular 
meet  on  April  7th  with  Miami  and 
U.  Mass. 

Prospects  are  cloudy  at  this 
moment.  The  loss  of  Hufnagel 
and  the  possible  loss  of  Osborn 
(who  runs  the  quarter  and  half- 
mile)  has  left  the  team,  hard 
pressed  for  new  talent  to  fill  the 
vacuum. 
Golf 

The  Golf  team  plus  coach  goes 
to  Boca  Raton  for  the  holiday. 
Although  no  organized  matches 
will  be  played,  practice  will  be  ser- 
ious, as  the  team  aims  at  a  "no 
loss"  season. 

With  a  good  number  of  return- 
ing lettermen  plus  newcomers 
Chapman  and  Alexander  joining 
the  force,  the  New  Englands  are 
"close  enough  to  taste." 

In  the  upcoming  post-holiday 
season,  the  team  is  favored  to 
win  all  of  its  home  meets,  with

Tennis 

In  keeping  with  tradition,  the 
tennis  team  plans  its  annual  jaunt 
South  over  the  break.  Leaving 
Coach  Chaffee  behind  this  time, 
Captain  Brooks  Goddard  and  his 
8-man  squad  will  start  by  playing 
William  and  Mary  in  Williams- 
burg, Va.,  on  March  25th. 

It  next  encounters  the  Army 
team  from  Eustis  on  the  27th,  On

Country  Club  of  Richmond  is  ho.«t 
for  another  match. 

April  1st  and  2nd  the  team  will 
be  at  North  Carolina  and  Duke, 
respectively.  The  final  match  will 
be  against  North  Carolina  ifor  a 
second  time),  making  9  matches 
in  all, 

Rugby  ' 

Instead  of  England,  the  rugger 
team  has  its  eye  on  Bennuda  this 
Spring.  Led  by  captain  Chuck 
Probst,  the  team  plans  a  stay  on 
the  island  lasting  from  the  24th 
of  March  until  the  3rd  of  April, 

Sixteen  strong,  the  team  has  a 
four  game  schedule.  Originally  it 
was  slated  against  Dartmouth, 
Hai-vard,  and  Amherst.  Technical 
difficulties  may  cut  this  down. 

After  the  break,  the  team  has 
6  "official"  games  which  will  be 
played  with  Brown.  Dartmouth, 
Boston  University,  Amherst,  Wes- 
leyan,  and  MJ.T.

Architects  Submit  Draft  Of  IVew  Unit  As  Construction  Starts 


Yes,    Virginio,    they    really    mean    it.    Here,    candidly    caught,    is    the    steam 
shovel   which  broke  ground   recently  for  the  social  unit 

Freshmen  Voice  Opinions  On  Frats ; 
35  Seek  ^Eph  Future'  In  Social  Units 


By  Alan  Finckc 

In  a  poll  taken  of  the  Class  of 
1966  concerning  their  residen- 
tial plans  next  year,  thirty-five 
members  indicated  that  their  fu- 
ture would  be  in  social  unit  liv- 
inR.  With  the  exception  of  ten  to 
twenty  fr3.=h  who  are  either  un- 
decided cr  prospective  N.A.'s,  the 
remainder  of  the  class  is  headed 
for  the  Greek-letter  institutions. 

D.  Gardner  expressed  no  dissap- 
pointment  at  freshmen  response  to 
the  social  units.  He  stated  there 
is  no  pressure  to  fill  all  of  the 
social  units'  140  places,  while  add- 
ing that  the  opportunity  to  enter 
a  unit  would  still  be  available  af- 
ter April  15  if  all  the  places  were 
not  taken  up.  Including  freshmen 
applications,  eighty-seven  occu- 
pancies had  been  assured  up  to 
spring   vacation. 

Gardner  felt  that  the  imple- 
mentation schedule  released  last 
month  prompted  many  freshmen 
to  go  fraternity  since  the  pressure 
was  released  and  it  no  longer  be- 
came a  question  of  where  they 
were  going  to  spend  the  rest  of 
their  college  career.  He  suggested 
that  many  in  the  Class  of  '66  de- 
cided to  see  what  fraternities  are 
like  since  they'll  be  gone  in  a 
short  time,  anyway. 

Frosh  Hit  College  Control 

Fraternity-bound  freshmen 
generally  based  their  decision  on 
arguments  reminiscent  of  College 
Council  President  Scott  Buchart's 
speech  and  numerous  "dirty-rush" 
bull  sessions.  Nearly  one-fourth  of 
the  class  agreed  that  fraternities 
provided  "more  freedom,  respon- 
.sibility,  and  individuaUty"  than 
would  the  social  units.  There 
seemed  to  be  a  predominate  opin- 


ion that  the  social  units  would  be 
under  increased  college  con- 
trol, resulting  in  a  "paternalistic, 
slorified  prep  school"  atmosphere. 

Many  freshmen  disliked  the  way 
in  which  the  administration  has 
handled  the  transition  situation. 
One  commented  that  the  college's 
"arbitrary,  thoughtless,  and  cost- 
ly" actions  had  antagonized  him 
against  the  whole  social  unit  plan. 

No  Finks.  Better  Social  Life 

Superior  .social  life,  better  facil- 
ities and  food,  "going  where 
friends  are  going."  and  brotlier- 
hood  then  followed  as  criteria  for 
the  cla.ss'  future  fraternity  men. 
A  goodly  number  expressed  a  sim- 
ple desire  to  experience  fraternity 
living  and  made  a  decision  on 
their  own. 

"If  I  dislike  fraternity  life,  I 
can  always  drop  out  and  join  a 
social  unit,"  was  the  comment  of 
a  few. 

Another  group  does  not  wish  to 
be  associated  with  the  type  of  in- 
dividual to  inhabit  the  social 
units.  "I  don't  want  to  live  in  the 
same  dorm  with  those  'finks'  and 
'flaming  liberals',"  as.serted  one 
freshman. 

The  consensus  among  many  was 
that  social  unit  living  was  too 
uncertain  and  they  would  prefer 
to  stick  with  a  sure  thing.  "I  have 
no  pioneering  spirit,  I  confess,  but 
especially  not  for  a  program 
which  I'm  not  convinced  is  best," 
was  the  .statement  of  one  ephlet. 

What  About  Unity? 

Another  valid  though  less  wide- 
spread doubt  freshmen  have  about 
social  units  is  the  question  of 
group_  unity.  Some  wonder  what 
kind  of  unity  can  be  developed  in

"ready  for  the  fall  of  1963." 

Mr.  Welanetz  added  that  the  construction  crew  had  rerouted 
the  luiderlying  steam  lines  during  spring  recess  and  that  it  is 
now  preparing  footings  for  the  building,  despite  the  lack  of  final 
interior  plans. 

D.  Gardiner,  administrative  assistant,  estimated  that  the 
total  cost  of  the  imit  would  run  about  $275,000.  The  renovations 
in  Berkshire  Hall  will  cost  between  $125,000  and  $150,000 

Welanetz  was  not  so  optimistic  about  the  chances  of  having 
the  existing  building  finished  by  the  September  deadline.  "The .

Implementation  Plan 

Moves    Frat    Groups 

ToSeeAdministration 

The  Administrations  recently 
revealed  program  for  implemen- 
tation stirred  up  a  new  swirl  of 
fraternity  activity,  as  the  houses 
and  tlieir  alumni  made  policy  de- 
cisions in  the  walce  of  College  pro- 
nouncements. 

Six  fraternity  alumni  groups 
met  with  President  Sawyer,  Tal- 
cott  Banks,  and  Henry  Flynt,  Sr. 
over  vacation  in  an  attempt  to 
reconcile  fraternity  policy  with 
the  goals  of  Williams.  D.  Gardner 
was  "encouraged"  by  the  talks, 
seeing  the  definite  possibility  of 
several  houses  converting  to  soc- 
ial units  next  year  or  in  '64. 

Undergraduate  fraternity  reac- 
tion was  varied,  with  at  least  four 
houses  holding  or  planning  meet- 
ings to  discover  present  member- 
ship opinion  on  the  possibility  of 
converting  to  social  units  or  al- 
ternative  possibilities. 

Three  houses  are  waiting  for 
alumni  action  before  any  decision 
is  made  regarding  policy  for  the 
future.  The  comments  elicited 
from  the  individual  fraternities  by 
the  Record  are  printed  in  part 
below.

Bloodmobile  Officials 
Seek   Student   Blood 

The  Red  Cross  Bloodmobile  will 
roll  onto  the  campus  of  Williams 
College  once  again  this  Monday 
and  Tuesday,  April  15  and  16.  The

In  the  last  ten  annual  visits 
the  Bloodmobile  has  collected 
2156  pints,  of  which  1452  have 
been  contributed  by  Williams  stu-

said,  however,  that  he  could  fore-

In  Vacation  Accident 

Bob  Seidman  '63,  was  seriously 
injured  in  a  car-motorcycle  col- 
lision in  Trenton.  N.  J.,  last  Mar 
24.  He  was  on  his  way  home  to 
Philadelphia  for  spring  vacation 
when   the  accident  occurred. 

Seidman  was  traveling  in  the 
passing  lane  near  a  car  in  the 
right-hand  lane  at  the  time,  when 
the  women  driving  the  car  behind 
them  tried  to  pass  the  other  car 
without  seeing  him.  He  was  admit-

Ti-enton  with  two  broken  legs. 

He  is  expected  to  remain  there 
for  six  weeks.  Despite  the  serious 
nature  of  the  accident  he  suffer-

By  Rick  Dodge 

The  wheels  of  Williamstown's 
provincial  bureaucracy  turned 
slightly  towards  progress  late 
Monday  evening.  Around  midnight 
the  Selectmen  approved  the 
transfer  of  two  local  businesses, 
and  the  respective  liquor  licenses 
involved,  in  a  meeting  at  the 
town  offices. 

The  issue  at  hand  centered  a- 
round  the  transfer  of  the  business 
belonging  to  Mrs.  Alice  Moon,  the 
Square  Deal  store,  and  the  liquor 
license  held  by  Mrs.  Moon  to  Earl 
F.  King,  who  is  presently  operat- 
ing  King's   Package   Store. 

The  second  transfer  is  of  King's 
present  business,  and  the  seasonal 
liquor  license  he  holds,  to  Mr.  C. 
Anthony  Prieri,  of  Spring  Street 
of  Williamstown. 

Wide  Field  of  Business 

Soon  Mr.  Frieri  will  be  opening 
the  Taconic  Package  Store  to  the 
North  of  town  near  Pownal,  and 
the  new  race  track,  with  the  lic- 
ense being  transferred  from  King. 
He  hopes  to  tap  the  summer  flood 
of  race  fans  which  will  be  moving 
Into   the   area. 

With  Allsop's  to  the  northeast 
Thomason's  to  the  east  and  King's 


Liquor  Store,  Inc.  at  the  present 
location,   local   citizens   will    find 
oases    spotted    throughout     their 
various  neighborhoods. 
King  Dynasty 

What  seems  to  be  a  monopo- 
listic control  of  the  liquor  busi- 
ness on  Spring  Street  by  King  is 
looked  upon  as  quite  an  achieve- 
ment by  this  man  who  has  been 
working  toward  such  a  goal  for 
seventeen  years.  In  1946,  Cal  King, 
Sr.  acquired  the  business,  and  ap- 
plied for,  and  received,  a  license  to 
sell  malt  and  wine.  The  elder 
King,  who  presently  owns  the 
building  which  is  the  site  of  the 
package  store,  the  pizza  store  and 
the  Walden  Theater,  sold  the  bus- 
iness to  his  sons.

CivU  Rights,  Here  And  There 

The  architects  have  finally  put  down  their  tinker-toys  long 
enough  to  present  us  with  a  new  dining  room  palatial  enough  to 
rival  anything  in  Miami  Beach,  but  while  happy  visions  of  a  splendi- 
ferous campus  dance  through  students'  dreams,  there  is  an  under- 
lying ugliness  which  turns  euphoria  into  a  nightmare.  The  Issue  in 
question  is  that  of  civil  rights,  or  more  precisely,  the  lack  of  civil 
rights,  both  at  Williams  and  in  other  colleges  and  towns  in  the 
country.  The  most  disappointing  aspect  of  the  whole  situation  is 
the  opposition  and  timidity  which  militant  students  have  encounter- 
ed from  administrators  and  other  students. 

Several  incidents  in  the  past  month  have  destroyed  the  smug- 
ness which  many  students  feel  at  living  in  the  "artificial"  atmosphere 
of  the  college.  Some  are  lulled  into  the  false  sense  of  security  by 
the  superficial  acceptance  which  minority  groups  find  at  Williams. 
Some  actually  seem  to  think  that  there  is  neither  a  problem  here 
nor  anywhere  else.  Other  students  are  content  to  sit  back  and  say 
"Here  we  are,  so  far  away  from  everything.  What  can  we  do  about 
civil  rights?  Let's  play  monopoly  instead." 

The  "civil  rights  push,"  as  some  have  hopefully  called  it,  through 
such  programs  as  the  exchange  with  Morehouse  College,  has  met 
with  opposition  from  an  unsuspected  quarter  when  President  Saw- 
yer suggested  that  perhaps  such  a  trip  would  not  be  a  good  idea 
because  it  would  offend  some  of  the  alumni  who  might  be  willing 
to  give  money  if  Williams  remains  aloof  in  civil  rights  affairs. 

For  the  college  to  pander  to  such  alumni,  who  probably  never 
plan  to  donate  anyhow,  is  disgusting.  We  realize  that  the  college  is 
pressed  for  funds,  particularly  with  so  much  contemplated  con- 
struction, but  there  is  a  point,  as  Paul  Goodman  would  say,  to  draw 
the  line,  to  say  "this  is  too  much."  Admittedly,  we  are  idealists,  and 
Impecunious  idealists  at  that,  but  it  seems  it  would  be  better  for  the 
college  to  close  up  altogether,  rather  than  allow  certain  alumni  to 
influence  such  matters  by  the  mere  promise  of  dirty  old  money.  The 
loss  of  pride  and  self-respect  which  should  accompany  the  acceptance 
of  any  such  "tribute  money"  would  be  overwhelming,  and  particular- 
ly so  for  a  place  which  is  so  concerned  about  its  "corporate  image." 

The  college  has  admirably  withstood  all  of  the  nastiness  and  in- 
sults mustered  by  the  alumni  on  the  fraternity  question  and  it 
would  be  a  shame,  nothing  less,  to  make  any  concession  in  other 
important  areas.  We  are  glad  that  the  alumni  are  interested  in  the 
college,  but  there  is  a  point  at  which  interest  becomes  insult  and 
finally,  obstruction,  a  point  at  which  the  very  presence  of  such 
people  becomes  intolerable. 

Another  distressing  perspective  was  the  recent  attempt  to  man- 
age the  news  concerning  the  cancellation  of  a  glee  club  concert  over 
the  race  issue.  The  administration  made  it  clear  that  nothing  was 
to  be  published,  again  so  as  not  to  aggravate  alumni  bigotry.  It  is 
difficult  not  to  be  somewhat  indignent  and  if  there  were  not  an 
absurd  comic  aspect  to  the  whole  business  to  temper  our  wrath, 
we  would  be  mightily  so. 

Meanwhile,  back  in    the   South,  the   editors   of  THE   BUIiiET, 
the  student  paper  at  Mary  Washington  College,  attempted  a   half 
hearted  defense  of  themselves,  stating  that  "the  Mary  Washington 
administration  had  nothing  to  do  with  this  decision  to  cancel.  Wil 
liams  College  cancelled  when  it  realized  the  possibility  of  causing 
an  embarassing   situation."  This  is  ridiculous,   for  several  reasons. 

In  the  first  place,  the  decision  to  cancel  the  concert  was  probably 
a  wise  one,  because  the  music  department  was  not  running  a  free^ 
dom  bus,  but  merely  a  spring  tour.  They  might  have  forced  the  is 
sue,  which  the  college  claims  was  due  to  the  unwillingness  of  towns 
people  to  put  up  the  two  members  of  the  Glee  Club,  but  received 
no  support  from  the  officials  of  Mary  Washington. 

By  failing  to  secure  accommodations,  it  would  seem  that  no 
other  plan  was  devised,  but  it  seems  unlikely  that  no  space  could 
be  found  anywhere  in  the  area.  It  is  reasonable  to  assume  that  at 
least  one  faculty  member  would  have  been  willing  to  offer  rooms? 
Better  yet,  since  Chancellor  Simpson  was  falling  all  over  himself  with 
good  will  and  liberal  spirit — "Dr.  Simpson  would  have  been  strongly 
in  favor  of  having  the  integrated  chorus  sing  here"  says  the  editorial 
—he  could  have  offered  space. 

The  most  blatant  failing  of  the  editorial  is  the  statement  that 
"our  college  has  not  acted  in  a  prejudiced  or  intolerant  manner," 
which  defends,  and  even  extols  the  timidity  of  the  college,  a  state 
ment  to  which  we  reply  "O  come  on  girls,  enough's  enough."  By  re 
fusing  to  create,  either  now  or  at  any  other  time,  what  the  editorial 
calls  "an  embarrassing  situation,"  the  college  and  the  students 
have  done  nothing  to  protest  the  waywardness  of  the  state  and,  in 
doing  so,  grant  tacit  approval  of  the  whole  situation.  We  appreciate 
the  fact  that  the  girls  fear  to  sully  their  hands  and  to  ruffle  their 
Southern  composure  in  such  a  messy  problem,  but  we  would  remind 
them  that  being  thrown  into  jail  In  Mississippi  is  nothing  less  than 
"an  embarrassing  situation." 

The  editorial  continues  its  defense  of  the  chancellor  by  stating 
that  "the  girls  should  not  try  to  be  hostesses  when  such  an  awk 
ward  situation  would  force  them  to  do  less  than  a  perfect  job 
This  is  carrying  the  fabled  Southern  graciousness  a  bit  too  far  and 
it  would  seem  that  the  students  of  Mary  Washington  are  more  con- 
cerned with  propriety  than  with  civil  rights,  or  even  with  common 
decency.  Too  bad. 

We  close  with  an  encouragement  for  more  programs  such  as  the 
exchange  with  Morehouse,  because  racial  problems  will  not  simply 
"go  away"  in  Massachusetts,  any  more  than  they  will  in  Virginia, 
unless  students  are  willing  to  take  an  Interest.

Letter  To  The  Editor 


Block  Lashes  Civil  Rights  Coverup 


During  the  last  few  years  much 
has  been  said  and  written  about 
the  various  complexities  and  ur- 
gencies of  race  relations.  But 
while  the  ugliness  of  a  second- 
class  citizenry  persists,  the  "new 
line"  can  be  repeated  none  too 
often.  Tlie  most  immediate  domes- 
tic concern  of  the  United  States 
continues  to  be  the  status  of  the 
American  Negro.  There  is  no  area 
in  the  U.S.  today  which  can  claim 
Itself  free  of  some  kind  of  racial 
discrimination  -  regardless  of  how 
covered  up  by  "token"  integration 
or  "de  facto"  desegregation. 

New  York  City  and  Atlanta, 
Georgia,  supposedly  two  of  the 
most  progressive  cities  in  t  h  e  ir 
respective  areas,  present  living 
proof  of  the  limitations  of  insti- 
tutionalized desegregation.  Over 
the  yeai's  New  York  has  managed 
to  confine  the  majority  of  its  Ne- 
groes within  the  boundaries  of  a 
ghetto.  The  housing,  schooling, 
and  moral  shortcomings  of  Har- 
lem are  too  well  known  to  neces- 
sitate repitition  here;  Institution- 
al barriers  were  destroyed  long  a- 
go,  yet  the  more  subtle  forms  of 
discrimination  have  prevented  the 
Negro  community  from  realizing 
all  the  benefits  of  the  so-called 
American  Ideal. 

Seemingly  for  the  better,  but 
certainly  not  for  the  best,  Atlanta 
has  effected  in  the  last  few  years 
a  good  deal  of  desegregation  due 
mainly  however  to  the  presence  of 
the  most  able  Negro  leadership  in 
the  nation.  Yet  one-third  of  At- 
lanta's Negroes  live  below  the 
poverty  level;  Negro  schools  mine 
years  after  the  '54  Supreme  Court 
decision  only  forty-four  Negroes 
are  enrolled  in  previously  seg- 
regated schools)  are  horribly  over- 
crowded; the  entire  eighth  grade 
of  one  school  attends  its  classes 
three  blocks  from  the  school 
building  in  trailers;  and  the  some 
times  hidden  hostility  of  the  white 
community  continues  to  deprive 
the  Negro  of  total  acceptance  and 
flares  up  occasionally  with  such 
debacles  as  the  "Peyton  Road 
Blockade".  And  they  call  Atlanta 
the  most  advanced  city  in  the 
South! 

The  point  of  this  discussion 
should  become  obvious.  While 
legal  desegregation  is  necessary,  it 
nevertheless  is  but  a  step  toward 
a  real  solution.  With  the  realiza- 
tion that  stupidity  and  prejudice 
can  go  so  far  as  to  create,  In  the 
United  States  In  1963,  a  gestapo- 
like state  in  Mississippi  where 
Negroes  dare  not  walk  the  streets 
at  night,  this  real  solution  can 
only  be  achieved  when  the  white 
community  is  finally  ready  to  ac- 
cept the  Negro  as  a  brother,  when 
a  complete  mixture  of  manpower  - 
economically,  politically,  educa- 
tionally, and  socially  -  becomes  a 
reality.  This  will  demand  of  course 
a  wide-spread  re -orientation  of 
Individual  opinion,  attitude,  and 
action.  Spending  a  week  at  More- 
house College  observing  the  vast 
similarities  between  their  student 
body  and  Williams'  has  strength- 
ened my  belief  that  such  a  re- 
orientation CAN  be  effected,  the 
all-important  ingredient  being 
"exposure." 

A  change  In  traditional  attitud- 
es can  only  be  brought  about  by 
action  from  the  top  of  the  white 
community.  The  leaders  of  the 
nation  must  do  more  than  "al- 
most" pay  lip-service  to  the  nec- 
essity and  benefits  of  complete 
racial  amalgamation.  While  real- 
izing the  hopelessness  of  attempt- 
ing to  persuade  present  leaders  of 
the  urgency  of  such  a  change,  we 
must  look  to  the  leaders  of  to- 
morrow, more  specifically  to  the 
builders  of  these  leaders,  the  col- 
leges and  universities,  to  fos- 
ter the  new  spirit. 

We  look  at  the  tenor  of  Wil- 
liams which  harbors  the  preten- 
tion of  small-college  leadership, 
and  our  observations  give  cause 
for  wonder!  Rather  than  take  an 
Initiative,  the  administration 
seems  to  oppose  the  creation  of  a 
meaningful  cl  v  1 1-rlghts  spirit. 
There    is    a    grand    total    of    six 


American  Negroes  in  the  student 
body.  The  Admissions  Department 
continually  presents  Itself  as  sym- 
pathetic, but  a  victim  of  circum- 
stances. This,  of  course,  is  ridicu- 
lous. There  are  thousands  of  qual- 
ified Negroes  throughout  the  na- 
tion, some  who  can  afford  a  Wil- 
liams education,  many  others  who 
ought  to  receive  scholarships.  A 
genuine  desire  by  the  admissions 
people  would  see  a  genuine  effort 
to  attract  Negro  students  to  Wil- 
liams, and  a  substantial  rise  in 
Negro  enrollment. 

With  the  realization  that  the 
four  undergraduate  years  are  the 
most  impressionable  and  the  most 
idealistic  in  the  life  of  the  indi- 
vidual, it  is  the  moral  obligation 
of  the  Williams  faculty  and  ad- 
ministration to  encourage  a  wide- 


spread concern  and,  wherever  pos- 
sible, an  active  participation  in 
the  civil-rights  movement;  yet  tlie 
President  of  our  sheltered  insliiu- 
tion  actually  suggested  the  cancel- 
lation of  the  Morehouse  Excluinge, 
and  further,  attempted  to  suppress 
the  publication  of  the  Glee  Club's 
trouble  with  Mary  Washington 
College!!  It  Is  the  self-avowed 
puriKJse  of  higher  education  to 
prepare  young  men  and  women  to 
take  a  meaningful  role  in  society, 
and  certainly  this  preparation  in- 
cludes the  creation  of  an  aware- 
ness, and  imparting  the  know- 
ledge to  solve  the  most  glaring 
moral  shortcomings  of  American 
society. 

Respectfully, 
I         Steve  Block  '65

Exchange  Students  Meet  Politicians 


By  Lee  Richmond 

Two  weeks  ago  a  small  bat- 
talion of  six  Williams  men  de- 
tached itself  from  the  rising  tide 
of  southward-migrating  collegiate 
ixioplc,  veered  to  the  right,  and 
descended  on  Morehouse  College 
111  Atlanta,  Georgia,  for  a  week  of 
discussion  and  participation  in 
the  political,  intellectual  and  so- 
cial life  of  an  all-Negro  college 
in  the  deep  South. 

The  Williams  students  -  Jim 
Pilgrim  '63,  Rich  Lyons  '64,  Steve 
Block  and  Lee  Richmond  '65, 
Warren  Brodhead  and  Andreas 
Eshete  '66  -  were  greeted  witli 
much  Interest  and  hospitality,  and 
virtually  given  the  keys  to  the 
city  In  a  week-long  tour  that  took 
them  from  the  state  capitol  to  the 
office  of  Martin  Luther  King,  Jr. 

Mornings  were  spent  attending 
classes  at  Morehouse  or  Spelman 
College,  a  neighboring  woman's  in- 
stitution. Evenings  would  often 
find  the  more  hardy  members  en- 
thusiastically pursuing  interracial 
understanding,  again  at  Spelman. 

Sandwiched  in  between  the 
scheduled  events,  at  meals,  over 
coffee,  or  in  the  inevitable  and 
interminable  midnight  bull-ses- 
sions, were  discussions  of  the  two 
topics  that  most  occupied  the  Wil- 
liams students  and  their  hosts: 
the  meaning  of  a  college  educa- 
tion, and  the  progress  in  the  fight 
for  civil  rights. 

The  Progressive  City 

Atlanta  is  considered  by  Negroes 


and  whites  alike  to  be  a  haven 
in  the  Southern  storm  of  racial 
tensions.  The  Negro  population  of 
Atlanta  is  united  and  organized, 
and  is  able  to  use  the  vote  and 
the  boycott  to  great  advantage. 
The  people  are  spurred  on  and 
given  direction  by  a  powerful  and 
effective  student  movement  which, 
through  sit-ins  and  other  means 
of  protest  has  managed  to  achieve 
at  least  nominal  Integration 
everywhere  except  In  the  hotels  of 
Atlanta. 

A  central  figure  in  the  Atlanta 
Negro's  emancipation  Is  state  Sen- 
ator Leroy  Johnson,  the  first 
Negro  to  be  elected  to  the  Atlanta 
Senate  since  Reconstruction. 
Johnson  took  most  of  one  day  off 
to  show  exchange  students  from 
Williams  and  Bowdoin  around  the 
state  capitol.  He  spoke  eloquently 
and  hopefully  of  the  Negro's 
plight:  "injustice  anywhere  is  a 
threat  to  justice  everywhere",  but 
"the  minds  of  men  are  changint; 
in  the  South"  and  resistance  will 
never  again  be  as  violent  as  it  has 
been  in  the  past. 

Lincoln  Disagrees 

C.  Eric  Lincoln,  a  young  Negro 
intellectual  well-lcnown  for  his 
study  of  the  Black  Muslim  in 
America,  sounded  a  less  hopeful 
note  in  a  luncheon  talk  the  next 
day.  "America  has  had  a  hundred 
years  of  grace,  but  she  gave  it  to 
the  winds",  he  stated.  "The  free- 
dom we  would  celebrate  remains 
more   fictional    than    real",    and 


even  today  no  Negro  can  forget 
"the  terror  that  rode  by  night,  the 
shame  that  stalked  by  day." 

When,  that  afternoon,  Mayor  of 
Atlanta  Ivan  Allen,  Jr.,  was  asked 
for  his  personal  opinion  on  the 
virtues  of  desegregation,  he  re- 
plied, "I'm  not  going  to  get  into  a 
soul-searching  contest".  However, 
he  observed  that  he  saw  change 
coming  and  was  ready  to  meet 
it.  "These  things  don't  worry  me  - 
I've  had  some  very  firm  friend- 
ships with  all  the  people  in  the 
city  and  I  feel  that  it's  my  re- 
sponsibility as  an  elected  official 
to  see  that  these  things  come  a- 
bout." 

World-Perspective  Needed 

In  a  final  interview,  the  ex- 
change students  talked  with  Mar- 
tin Luther  King,  Jr.,  who  admit- 
ted that  "you're  dealing  with 
something  that  can  pi'obably  never 
be  solved".  He  believes,  however, 
in  continued  non-violent  struggle, 
for  "love  must  regulate  our  me- 
thods". Most  important,  in  order 
to  maintain  sensitivity  to  each 
other,  "we  must  develop  and  main- 
tain a  world-perspective". 

The  North-South  exchange,  or- 
ganized by  William  Boyd  '63,  will 
be  completed  this  week  when  four 
Morehouse  students  arrive  at  Wil- 
liams for  a  return  visit.

KEErSAKE  DIAMOND  DINGS.  SYRACUSE  1,  N.  Y. 


Two  Brandeis  Professors  Resign; 
Claim  Intimidation  On  Cuban  Views 


Interest  ha.s  grown  concerning 
the  resignation  of  the  chainnan 
of  the  anthroix>logy  department 
and  his  wife  at  Brandei.s  Univer- 
.sity.  The  resignations  of  David 
and  Kathleen  Aberle  followed  a 
dLspute  between  Dr.  Abram  Sac- 
har,  Brandeis  president,  and  Mrs. 
Aberle,  assistant  professor  of  an- 
thropology, over  the  views  she  ex- 
pre.s.sed   during    the   Cuban    crLsls. 

President  Accused 

Sachar  was  accused  by  Mrs. 
Aberle  of  "intimidating  me  to  keep 
me  from  expressing  my  political 
views."  During  the  Cuban  crisis, 
Mrs.  Aberle  stated  that  In  the 
event  of  a  limited  war  between 
Cuba  and  the  United  States, 
"Cuba  will  win  and  the  United 
States  will  be  shamed  befoie  all 
the  world  and  its  imperial  hege- 
mony ended  forever  in  Latin  Am- 
erica ..." 

In  the  same  student  address  she 
added  that  "I  wLsh  to  make  it 
clear  that  I  do  not  support  or 
praise  Castro  for  equipping  Cuba 
with  nuclear  weapons."  Mrs.  Ab- 
erle stated  that  she  had  no  in- 
tention of  attempting  to  incite  the 
students  by  her  remarks. 

Sachar  Calls  Speech  Reckless 
Sachar  reacted  to  the  resigna- 
tions with  the  following  state- 
ment: "On  Oct.  24,  1962,  at  the 
climax  of  the  national  anxiety 
which  resulted  from  the  Cuban 
situation,  Mrs.  Aberle,  addi-essing 
an  audience  of  students,  spoke  in 


a  manner  which,  in  my  judgment, 
was  dangerous,  reckless  and  un- 
disciplined." Sachar  added  that 
"some  of  her  statements,  express- 
ing the  hope  for  an  American  de- 
feat and  sliame  before  the  world, 
were  astonishing,  especially  from 
a  faculty  member." 

Sachar  remarked  that  "other 
faculty  members  who  had  address- 
ed the  student  gathering  had  been 
critical  of  the  policies  of  the 
United  States  government.  They 
refrained  from  statements  that 
were  reckless  and  provocative  and 
they  were  judged  to  be  entirely 
within  their  rights." 

Mrs.  Aberle  said  that  in  a  dis- 
cussion with  Sacher  following  her 
speech,  "his  anger  made  me  feel 
that  bad  things  would  happen  If 
I  continued  to  express  my  politi- 
cal opinions." 

Students  Protest 

Brandeis  students  have  pro- 
tested violently  against  Sachar's 
remarks.  Obscenities  have  been 
marked  on  the  UUman  Am- 
phitheatre, and  Ink  smears  have 
defaced  a  large  pwrtrait  of  Sachar. 

The  Brandeis  faculty  is  now  dis- 
cussing the  general  problems  of 
academic  freedom.  No  action  has 
been  taken  concerning  the  resig- 
nations. Sachar  was  reported  to 
be  astonished  at  recent  remarks 
accusing  him  of  infringing  upon 
academic  freedom.  It  was  also  re- 
ported that  the  faculty  asked  Sac- 
har to  leave  the  faculty  meeting 
during  a  part  of  the  discussion. 


Professor  Grant  Talks  On  Man  And  Nature 
In  Terms  Of  Threats  To  Human  Existence 


The  Student  Union  luncheon  on 
Wednesday  afternoon  featured 
Professor  Grant  of  the  Biology 
Department  on  the  subject  of 
biology  as  it  affects  man's  view 
of  himself  in  relation  to  the  rest 
of  the  natural  world.  He  stated, 
first,  that  there  has  been  a  major 
revolution  in  man's  thinking  on 
this  subject.  This  revolution  has 
originated  in  the  two  major  areas 
of  genetics  and  anthropology. 

Within  the  last  fifteen  years, 
scientists  have  found  that  hered- 
ity is  responsible  for  more  than 
simply  superficial  factors,  such  as 
eye  color.  It  has  been  proven  that 
there  is  a  genetic  basis  for  be- 
havior and  disease.  Moreover,  we 
can  now  speak  of  gene  action  in 
terms  of  molecules  and  even 
atoms.  These  discoveries  have 
helped  the  geneticist  to  extend  his 
science  from  studies  in  animals  to 
studies  in  man. 

In  the  field  of  anthropology, 
relatively  recent  discoveries  have 
made  it  possible  to  trace  man's 
origins  through  thousands  of 
years.  The  result  of  this  new 
knowledge,  according  to  Professor 
Grant,  is  that  man  has  become 
completely  natural;  no  longer  can 
he  claim  supernatural  origins. 
There  has  been  a  unidirectional 
evolutionary  progression.  However, 
though  this  progression  follows  a

single  direction  the  direction  is 
indefinite.  Man's  very  existence 
cannot  have  been  predetermined, 
but  resulted  from  chance  evolu- 
tion. 

Dilemna  of  Adaptability 
Dr.  Grant  described  the  evolu- 
tionary process  as  adaptation:  en- 
vironments change  and  organisms 
adapt  through  genetic  changes. 
However,  the  sui-est  way  to  ex- 
tinction is  through  over-spec- 
ialization In  adapting  to  particu- 
lar environmental  factors.  Profes- 
sor Grant  pointed  out  that  man 
is  one  of  the  least  specialized  an- 
imals. 

Because  of  the  superiority  of 
the  hiunan  mind,  however,  man 
can  find  himself  a  stranger  out- 
side of  nature;  he  can  create  ex- 
tra-n  a  t  u  r  a  1  circumstances  to 
which  he  must  adapt.  Man  "lives 
on  the  borderline  of  flesh  and 
spirit."  When  circumstances  call 
upon  him  to  exist  in  both  worlds, 
he  can  become  Inadaptable. 

Man  has  long  sought  order.  His 
adaptability  Is  hampered  by  his 
imagination  and  this  quest  for  or- 
der. Man  has  lost  sight  of  the  In- 
surmountable fact  that  he  cannot 
control  nature  and,  therefore,  has 
restricted  his  adaptability. 
Relates  to  Present  Problems 
Dr.  Grant  cited  such  present 
problems  as  industrial  waste  and 
the  Indescriminate  use  of  pesti- 
cides. He  pointed  out  that  these 
are  cases  of  man  tampering  with

ForeignStudentGroup 
Plans  First  Gathering 
In  Upperclass  Lounge 

TlH'  recently  formed  ForeiBii 
Student  Association  will  sponsor 
a  tea  party  next  Thursday  after- 
noon for  all  members  of  the  fac- 
ulty, their  families,  and  student 
body.  This  ethnic  "happening" 
which  will  be  held  from  4  to  6 
p.m.  in  the  Student  Union  Lounge, 
will  feature  an  exhibit  in  the  ABC 
rooms  of  costumes  and  souvenirs 
from  the  areas  of  the  world  rep- 
resented by  the  foreign  students 
at  Williams. 

The  president  of  the  assoc- 
iation, Ben  Kofi  '63  of  Ghana, 
said  that  the  formation  of  the 
group  is  the  result  of  "a  spontan- 
eous movement"  by  several  of  the 
seniors,  who  felt  that  too  little 
was  being  done  to  integrate  for- 
eign students  into  campus  activi- 
ties. 

'Long  Overdue' 

Kofi  said  the  group  felt  such  a 
-plan  was  "long  overdue"  because 
the  American  students  could  not 
be  expected  to  make  the  first 
move.  He  noted  that  the  small 
number  of  foreign  students  at 
Williams  makes  it  particularly  dif- 
ficult for  foreign  students  to  be- 
come part  of  the  campus. 

There  are  18  foreign  students  at 
Williams  as  undergraduates  and 
20  fellows  at  the  Cluett  Center. 
All  these  students  are  members 
of  the  association. 

Kofi  hopes  that  the  association 
will  be  an  enduring  institution,  so 
that  experienced  students  can  give 
advice  to  new  students  on  such 
matters  as  course  selection  and 
general  orientation.

Colleges  Meet  Demand  For  Dorms

Cal  Jr.,  and  Earl  ran  the  bus 
iness    together    from    1948    until 
1958,  when  Earl  bought  his  broth 
er's  half  interest  for  a  consider 
able  sum.  In  1952,  they  were  is- 
sued   an    all    liquor    seasonal    11 
cense   which   is   at  present  being 
transferred  to  the  Taconic  Pack 
age    Store.    This    season    license 
runs  from  April  1st  to  November 
30  of  each  year,  and   was  issued 
due  to  an  increase  in  population 

Mr.  Pi'ieri,  who  is  leasing  a 
store  from  Mr.  Mason  of  Mason's 
Market  at  65  Simons  Road,  is  a 
native  of  Pittsfield.  He  has  work- 
ed as  a  supervisor  for  Sears-Roe 
buck,  and  is  now  on  tenure  with 
the  public  school  system  in  Pitts- 
field,  where  he  will  continue 
teaching.  His  wife  has  taught 
French  in  Pittsfield,  at  the  Berk 
shire  Community  College  and  is 
teaching  the  introductory  courses 
this  year. 

Concern  Over  Future 

The  selectmen  meeting  involved 
some  discussion  of  the  futui-e  of 
the  Williamstown  area,  especially 
considering  the  Influx  of  business 
being  brought  in  by  the  new  race 
track  In  Pownal.  Comments  were 
made  concerning  keeping  tax 
money  which  a  liquor  business  Is 
Involved  with  directly,  in  the  state 
of  Massachusetts.  Persons  living 
away  from  town  could  cross  Into 
Vermont,  were  a  new  store  -  open 
ed  there,  more  easily  than  come  in 
to  Spring  Street. 

It  was  also  noted  that  Inasmuch 
as  the  college  owns  the  Square 
Deal  property,  and  wishes  the 
building  demolished,  a  delay  In 
the  transfer  of  licenses  would  in 
terrupt  college  plans,  and  as  one 
lawyer  stated,  "we  want  no  dif- 
ficulty with  the  college." 

'PreatiKe  Brands' 

King's  new  stock  Is  in  the  store 
and  in  a  discussion  of  his  plans 
for  the  future  he  said  that  he 
would  be  stocking  all  of  the  "pres 
tige  brands"  which  are  in  demand 
In  Williamstown.  He  would  also 
stock  a  lower  price  range  for  less 
discerning  customers. 

The  transfers,  which  were  pass- 
ed by  the  .selectmen,  are  now  un- 
der summary  consideration  by  the 
Alcoholic  Beverage  Commission  in 
Boston,  and  should  be  processed 
by  the  beginning  of  next  week. 


A  "pay  as  you  go"  plan  that 
would  permit  colleges  and  prepar- 
atory schools  to  construct  dormi- 
tories without  capital  outlays  was 
announced  last  Thursday  by  the 
C.  I.  T.  Financial  Corporation. 

The  only  funds  required  would 
be  the  normal  student  room  rent 
ranging  from  $225  to  $250  a  year. 
An  institution  would  pay  this  rent 
for  a  maximum  of  twelve  years 
after  which  ownership  of  the 
building  would  revert  to  the 
school. 

To  Meet  Demand 

President  L.  Walter  Lundell 
made  the  announcement  of  the 
plan  at  the  C.  I.  T.  offices,  650 
Madison  Avenue.  The  program  Is 
aimed  at  helping  colleges  meet  the 
increasing  demand  for  student  liv- 
ing quarters.  The  corporation  is 
said  to  be  the  nation's  largest  in- 
dustrial and  commercial  financ- 
ing concern. 

It  was  announced  that  the  plan 
has  already  been  adopted  by  two 
small  colleges  which  expect  to 
have  buildings  completed  in  the 
fall. 

Unique  Plan 

"This  unique  self-liquidating 
plan,"  Mr.  Lundell  said,  "will 
make    a    significant    contribution 


to  solving  the  serious  and  growing 
student  residence  problems  facing 
many  colleges  and  schools.  It  is 
the  essence  of  the  plan  that 
standard  room  rentals,  approx- 
imating those  charged  students 
occupying  other  rooms  on  I  h  e 
same  campus,  should  be  sufficient 
to  cover  all  the  rental  payments 
undei^  the  same  lease.  Included 
In  the  payment  plan  is  sufficient 
excess  yearly  to  allow  the  college 
to  maintain  the  buildings  without 
loss. 

Air  Conditioning 

The  buildings  are  to  be  com- 
plete except  for  furnishings.  E- 
qulpment  is  to  include  heating 
plant  and,  where  desired,  aircon- 
ditioning. 

A.  R.  Tandy,  president  of  South- 
ern Mill  and  Manufacturing  Com- 
pany, "I'ulsa,  Oklahoma,  builder  of 
the  first  two  projects,  estimated 
that  the  total  cost  over  the  twelve 
year  period  would  be  about  $3,000 
a  student. 

Under  a  Government-financed,

Haystack  Fund  Drive  Announced: 
Rokay  Kamyar,  Aighan  Case  Study 


The  Haystack  Fund  Drive  will 
begin  on  Monday,  April  15,  and 
continue  through  Friday,  April  19. 
The  goal  this  year  will  be  a  con- 
tribution of  five  dollars  per  stu- 
dent. 

The  Haystack  Program  pays  for 
the  room  and  board  of  foreign 
students,  and  the  college  provides 
free  tuition  for  every  Haystack 
scholar  whom  the  Fund  can  sup- 
port. Ben  Kofi,  Klat  Tan,  and 
Glen  Ma  are  the  current  Hay- 
stack grant-holders. 

At  present  the  admissions  office 
has  been  in  contact  with  Ron 
Steegh,  a  Williams  alumnus  living 
in  Afghanistan,  concerning  an 
Afghan,  named  Rokay  Kamyar 
Rokay,  now  studying  at  the  law 
school  in  Kabul,  is  a  likely  can- 
didate for  the  Haystack  Program. 

Rokay  was  the  ranking  student 
in  his  secondary  school.  He  was 
subsequently   given   a  four  year

the  ninety  man  new  dorm  unit, 
while  vaguely  remembering  some 
college  promise  about  "small 
group  living." 

One  freshman  couldn't  see  "how 
the  unity  in  fraternities  could 
ever  be  achieved  in  social  unit 
living."  Others  fear  that  unity  In 
social  units  will  degenerate  into 
dormitory  cllquelsm. 

Although  the  Implementation 
plans  call  for  small  group  living, 
the  college  eventually  plans  to 
have  ten  social  units  for  the  en- 
tire student  body.  In  the  words 
of  Mr,  Gardner,  "Anything  under 
100  Is  small  group  living." 

Nearly  a  third  of  the  class  fail- 
ed to  list  reasons  for  their  mo- 
mentous decision,  or  gave  unprint- 
able ones.  Attacking  the  social 
units,  their  future  members,  and 
the  administration  In  the  most 
vehement  of  terms,  one  ephman 
scribbled  out  his  journalistic  en- 
deavor In  orange  crayon. 

Unlters  Prefer  Future,  Not  Past 

The  heroes  of  future  Ephland 
had  fairly  uniform  reasons  for 
their  farslghted,  courageous  de- 
cision. "Fraternities  are  dying  or- 
ganizations" and  "they're  not 
worth  the  time  and  expense"  were 
the  two  predominate  criticisms. 
These  men  desire  to  be  the  lead- 
ers of  the  "New  Williams"  rather 
than  remain  with  the  old. 

One  fre.shman  succinctly  sum- 
med up  the  reasons  for  his  de- 
cision. "First,  they,  the  fraterni- 
ties are  dying  out;  second,  they 
waste  a  lot  of  time;  third,  their 
extra  expense  isn't  worth  it;  and 
fourth,  I  don't  see  much  use  for 
them  under  any  situation." 

Another  was  worried  about 
"wasting  time  on  rituals  of  fra- 
ternity life."  A  few  disliked  the 
alleged  forced  friendships  and  Urn-

scholarship  to  the  Sorbonne,  but 
was  unable  to  get  clearance  from 
the  Afghan  government.  At  the 
same  time,  he  was  offered  a  full 
seven-year  scholarship  to  Russia, 
but  neither  he  nor  his  parents 
were  interested  In  the  strings  at- 
tached. This  year,  the  Afghan  gov- 
ernment has  accepted  a  scholar- 
ship for  Rokay  from  the  Japanese 
government;  the  scholarship  calls 
for  eight  years  of  medical  study 
In  Japanese.  Rokay  neither  knows 
nor  has  a  desire  to  learn  Japanese 
His  English  Is  good  and  would 
prefer  studying  in  the  United 
States  In  a  liberal  arts  institution 

Rokay,  highly  touted  by  Mr. 
Steegh,  Is  in  fact,  "the  only  stu- 
dent in  the  entire  country"  whom 
the  alumnus  would  recommend 
for  Williams.  The  Afghan  Is  an 
expert  on  local  music  and  Is  some- 
what of  a  national  authority  on 
Indian  ballads.  His  drama  pro- 
duced on  Radio  Kabul  and  in- 
cantation of  the  Koran  at  public 
gatherings  have  made  him  justly 
famous.  When  his  plans  for  the 
Sorbonne  fell  through  last  year, 
he  learned  that  a  professor  from 
the  Sorbonne  would  teach  a 
course  at  his  law  school  in  French 
this  year;  Rokay  learned  French 
over  the  summer  on  his  own  and 
is  now  getting  an  A  in  the  course. 

The  Afghan's  opportunity  to 
come  to  WilUams  rests  precarious- 
ly with  his  government;  the 
chance  that  he  will  be  able  to 
turn  down  the  Japanese  offer  ap- 
pears slim.  If  he  Is  able  to  grace 
these  Ivled  halls,  the  Haystack 
Program  will  deserve  great  credit. 
In  the  words  of  Mr.  Steegh,  "I 
think  that  Rokay  would  add  a 
great  deal  to  Williams  and  that 
Williams  could  not  be  making  a 
better  investment  as  far  as  this 
country  (Afghanistan)  Is  concern- 
ed."

Zoito,  Legion  Hero 
Promoted  To  Chief 
Of    BillsviUe    Police 

J.  Maynard  Austin,  Town  Man- 
ager of  Williamstown,  recently  an- 
nounced the  promotion  of  former 
patrolman  Joseph  O.  Zolto  to  the 
position  of  Chief  of  the  Williams- 
town police  force.  The  new  chief 
succeeds  John  D.  Courtney,  Jr., 
who  was  elected  Sheriff  of  Berk- 
shire County  last  fall. 

Zolto  competed  for  this  position 
with  seven  other  candidates  from 
different  sections  of  the  state. 
These  eight  men  took  an  exam- 
ination last  January. 

Prior  to  his  promotion,  Zolto 
has  assumed  control  of  the  force 
on  two  occasions.  Last  year  he  fill- 
ed in  for  Courtney  while  the  lat- 
ter took  time  off  to  campaign  for 
his  election,  and  he  has  acted  as 
chief  during  this  recent  interreg- 
num. At  present  Zoito  is  In  his 
ninth  year  of  service  on  the  Wil- 
liamstown police  force. 

Twice  Honored  For  Heroism 

This  World  War  II  veteran  has 
twice  been  honored  for  his  hero- 
Ism.  In  1960  Zolto  received  the 
American  Legion  Medal  for  Out- 
standing Heroism  for  rescuing 
four  year  old  Kenneth  Ware  from 
a  fire.  Previously  he  was  honored 
for  assisting  in  the  capture  of  an 
armed  man. 

The  new  chief  Is  a  graduate  of 
the  State  Police  Training  School 
In  Framingham.  Last  Spring  he 
also  took  part  in  a  oneweek  Po- 
lice Interrogation  Seminar  at 
Northeastern  University.  Zolto  e- 
merged  from  this  course  with  sev- 
eral high  recommendations  from 
his  instructors.

Beatrice  Hecht  Stone's  Sculpture 
On  Exhibit  At  Lawrence  Museum 

Visitors  will  have  an  opportiuiily  to  vifw  the  late  licatricf 
Ik'cht  Stone's  sculpture  I'rom  April  10-28  at  the  VVilliaiiis  College 
Museum  of  Art  in  Lawrence  Hall.  Arrangements  have  been  made 
to  enable  rejiresentatives  ol  institutions  to  elioose  one  of  the 
sculptures  as  a  ^ift  to  tiieir  institution. 

Tbe  twenty-six  pieces  in  the  exhibition  were  selected  to  il- 
lustrate the  rauj^e  and  (piality  of  Mrs.  Stone's  work.  The  College 
Museum  owns  one  of  her  works,  a  small  bronw  called  "beda." 


Attended  Smith 

A  member  of  the  National 
Sculpture  Society  and  the  Nation- 
nl  Association  pf  Women  Artists, 
Mrs.  Stone  had  a  nationwide  rep- 
utation In  art  circles.  She  attend- 
ed Smith  College  and  studied  with 
Heinz  Warneke  and  Jacques  Lou- 
chansky  in  Paris.  Whereas  she  re- 
flects an  admiration  for  Bourdel- 
le  and  Maillol  in  her  early  work, 
lier  later  sculpture  is  expressionist, 
characterized  by  restraint  and 
control.  In  addition  to  one-man 
shows  at  the  Van-Dlemen  Lilien- 
feld  Gallery  in  New  York,  the 
San  Diego  Museum  of  Art,  the  De 
Young  Museum  in  San  Francisco, 
the  Atlanta  Art  Association,  and 
other  galleries,  Mrs.  Stone  exhi- 
bited at  many  general  shows. 

Husband  A  Trustee 

Mrs.  Stone's  heirs,  including  her 
liusband,  Jacob  C.  Stone  of  New 
York  City,  a  Trustee  and  1914 
alumnus  of  Williams,  made  ar- 
rangements for  the  unique  exhibi- 
tion. The  Museum  will  be  open 
to  tlie  public,  free  of  charge,  daily 
from  9-12  and  2-4,  except  Sun- 
days, when  hours  are  2-5. 


Inco  Grants  Williams 
$3,000,    Unrestricted 

Proclaiming,  "This  is  the  best 
type  of  grant  that  can  be  given 
to  a  college,"  President  John  E. 
Sawyer  announced  a  $3,000  un- 
restricted grant  to  Williams  Col- 
lege by  the  International  Nickel 
Company,  Inc. 

Explaining  that  the  "best  type" 
clause  referred  not  to  the  size  but 
to  the  fact  that  the  grant  was  un- 
restricted, President  Sawyer  point- 
ed out  that  the  grant  could  be 
used  where  the  college  felt  it  mo.st 
needed  money. 

Many  grants  are  limited  in  use 
to  specific  departments  or  parti- 
cular projects  by  the  grantor. 
Sawyer  noted  that  the  College  of- 
ten feels  the  money  could  be  best 
used  elsewhere,  in  areas  of  great- 
er need.  How  the  Inco  grant  will 
be  used  is  yet  to  be  decided. 

The  grant  is  part  of  Inco's  pro- 
gram of  continuous  aid  to  U.  S. 
higher  education  and  supplements 
other  Inco  gifts  to  Williams  of 
preceding  years. 


Chapel  Busy  Jn  Year  Of  Trials; 
New  Activities  Broaden  Influence 


By  J.  H.  K.  Davis.  II 

Since  last  spring's  joyous  an- 
nouncement that  Williams  stu- 
dents would  not  have  to  spend 
14  dreary  Sundays  a  year  in  chap- 
el, much  has  been  done  to  re- 
cruit voluntary  attendance  at  the 
TMC.  Mrs.  Hannus,  the  Chap- 
lain's secretary,  says  she  is  "busy, 
busy,  bu.sy  ..."  A  cast  of  hun- 
dreds is  preparing  for  the  forth- 
coming production  of  "Noye's 
Fluddc."  And  while  student  senti- 
ment was  aptly  expressed  by  such 
statements  as,  "I've  never  had  so 
much  fun  on  Sundays  in  a  long 
time,"  there  has  been  encouraging 
support  for  the  more  esoteric  of- 
ferings of  the  chapel. 

I'erhaps  tlic  first  sign  tliat  vol- 
untary cliapel  could  mean  attend- 
ed cliapel  came  in  October  wlien 
400  people  turned  out  for  a  Ser- 
vice of  Music  featuring  James 
Johnson  '64  at  the  organ  and  Rob- 
ert Barrow  directing  a  string  or- 
chestra. 525  attended  the  lavish 
production  of  "the  Book  of  Job", 
275  heard  the  Women's  Faculty 
Club  perform  "A  Ceremony  of 
Carols",  and  225  townspeople  were 
present  at  a  Community  Carol 
Service  sponsored  jointly  by  the 
Williamstown  Protestant  Church- 
es and  the  TMC. 

The  annual  Glee  Club  Service 
of  Christmas  Music  filled  the 
chapel  as  the  Williams  and  Wells 
College  choruses  made  their  joy- 
ful noise.  While  there  was  a  mark- 


ed decrease  in  attendance  at  the 
various  guest  speakers'  appearan- 
ces, those  that  did  go  heard  the 
likes  of  Yale's  Rev.  Sidney  Lovett, 
Herbert  Oezork,  President  of  the 
Andover  Newton  Theological  Sem- 
inary, Chaplain  Eu.sden  and  Pres. 
Sawyer. 

Statistically  speaking:,  there  was 
an  average  turnout  of  240  at  all 
Sunday  services  and  special  e- 
vents,  and  140  for  preaching 
services  of  worship.  After  most 
preaching  services  the  facilities  of 
Baxter  Hall  were  used  for  inform- 
al discussions  that  were  attended 
by  from  10  to  40  interested  mem- 
bers of  the  Williams   community. 

Because  of  the  expected  de-em- 
phasis on  religious  matters  fol- 
lowing the  Tru.stees'  decision,  a 
new  group  was  formed  to  help 
the  College  Chapel  Board  and 
Chaplain  Eusden  fulfill  their 
function.  The  nebulous  but  im- 
pressive-.sounding  Williams  Col- 
lege Associated  Ministry,  a  collec- 
tion of  ministers  from  many  of 
the  Protestant  parishes  in  Wil- 
liamstown and  North  Adams  was 
the  result.  The  purpose  of  this 
cooperative  system  that  replaced 
the  competitive  efforts  of  by-gone 
days  is  to  "strengthen  the  Chris- 
tian witness  on  the  College  cam- 
pus and  to  coordinate  opportuni- 
ties for  Christian  service." 
Through  the  association's  work, 
the  schedules  of  all  Christian  ser- 
vices  in  the   area   were  compiled

and  made   available   to   the    Wil- 
liams community. 

Many  new  ideas  came  from  the 
WCAM  and  ttie  invigorated  WC- 
CB.  Perliaps  ttie  most  successful 
of  tiiese  was  an  expansion  of  tiie 
chapel  study  groups.  Six  profes- 
sors and  interested  professional 
men  taught  these  voluntary 
groups  during  the  first  semester, 
and  10  groups  recently  completed 
their  five-week  program  for  the 
second  semester.  These  gatherings, 
which  centered  around  required 
reading  and  lively  discussion,  were 
over-subscribed,  attesting  to  their 
popularity. 

Another  innovation  has  been 
clcse  cooperation  with  the  New- 
man Club,  the  college  club  for 
Catholic  students.  The  study 
groups  and  a  very  successful  din- 
ner featuring  Father  Anselm 
Burke  of  the  Carmelite  Monastery 
and  Dr.  Gezork  were  held  under 
the  joint  auspices  of  the  WOO 
and  the  Newman  Club. 

The  chapel  has  also  expanded 
its  summer  service  offerings.  Eight 
Williams  students  will  spend  the 
summer  months  in  Hong  Kong  as 
part  of  Operation  Haystack,  five 
will  be  members  of  a  Crossroads 
Africa  troupe,  several  have  ex- 
pressed interest  in  the  wide-spread 
programs  of  the  American  Friends 
Service  Committee,  and  others  are 
expected  to  serve  in  various  ser- 
vice projects.  The  Chapel  is  re- 
sponsible for  disseminating  infor- 
mation concerning  these  work  op- 
portunities. 

A  final  adjunct  of  the  Chapel  is 
the  daily  15-minute  service  of 
worship  held  in  the  TMC.  Under 
the  direction  of  the  Chaplain  and 
Phil  Reynolds  '63,  many  interest- 
ing speakers  have  been  gathered. 
The  most  successful  program  was 
a  week-long  discussion  of  "T  h  e 
Meaning  of  Jesus  Christ"  which 
featured  five  prominent  professors 
and  ministers  and  an  average 
daily  attendance  of  125.  Another 
week-long  discussion  of  religion 
in  foreign  lands,  handled  by  stu- 
dents from  the  Cluett  Center,  was 
not  as  successful. 

The  daily  chapel  service,  long 
an  interested  student  speaking  to 
rapidly  recruited  friends,  has  come 
under  serious  consideration  by  the 
Board.  A  service  of  Meditation 
with  Jim  Johnson  playing  the  ap- 
propriate music  on  the  organ  is 
now  held  every  Wednesday.  Future 
plans  are  expected  to  see  a  re- 
newed emphasis  on  worship  during 
the  service,  with  time  off  for  such 
special  programs  as  an  Easter 
Week  or  discussion  of  an  impor- 
tant issue. 

With  the  expanding  activities 
and  influence  of  the  Chapel,  a 
need  for  closer  communication 
with  interested  Christian  students 
was  seen.  Next  year  a  group  of 
undergraduates  will  form  the  Wil- 
liams Christian  Fellowship  and 
participate  in  more  strictly  Chris- 
tian and  personal  programs  than 
the  activities  now  offered  provide. 
These  will  Include  speakers  and 
intensive   Bible   study.

Phi  Sig  Captures  Basketball  Title ; 
Major  Leads  33-21  Rout  Of  DU 


Skip  Major  hit  on  five  of  six 
Jump  shots  in  the  first  half  to 
give  Phi  Sig  an  early  lead,  and 
they  went  on  to  trounce  DU  33- 
21  for  the  intramural  basketball 
championship,  Thur.sday,  March 
21. 

Major's  hot  shooting  gave  the 
Phi  Sigs  a  13-9  halftime  lead  and 
the  lead  was  quickly  opened  up  to 
16  points  early  in  the  second  half 
to  insure  the  victory.  Curt  Green 
and  Dave  Appelbaum  sparked  the 
second  half  surge,  Green  hitting 
on  four  long  outside  push  shots 
and  the  A-Bomb  scoring  twice 
from  underneath. 

Board  Control  Crucial 

Major  was  the  game's  leading 
scorer  with  12,  Green  had  8,  Ap- 
pelbaum 5,  and  Bill  Tuxbury, 
Steve  Bowling  and  Tim  Beichert 
had  2  apiece.  In  addition,  Tuxbury

and  Appelbaum  combined  to  con- 
trol the  boards,  which  becamo  a 
deciding  factor  against  the  cold- 
shooting  Zoomen. 

Bill  Chapman  was  outstanding 
for  DU,  hitting  on  several  long 
outside  shots  early  in  the  game, 
and  in  addition  he  did  a  great 
defensive  job  on  all-star  Bill 
Tuxbury,  the  league's  leading 
scorer,  limiting  him  to  two  points. 
Dave  Dillman  displayed  some  fine 
play-making,  and  Gerry  Wheaton 
and  Jim  Rankin  also  starred  for 
DU. 

The  game  had  a  slow  start,  with 
Phi  Sig  only  leading  4-2  after  four 
minutes.  Then  Major  went  to 
work  to  destroy  the  DU  challenge 
almost  single-handedly.  He  hit  on 
his  first  four  jump  shots  from  12 
feet,  missed  his  fifth  attempt  but 
added  another  at  the  halftime 
buzzer.  Only  some  good  outside 
shooting  by  Dillman  and  Chap- 
man kept  the  Zoomen  within 
striking  range. 

The  second  half  quickly  became 
a  rout  as  Major,  Green  and  Ap- 
pelbaum combined  for  a  ten  point 
lead  with  ten  minutes  left.  Later, 
with  three  minutes  left,  Tim 
Reichert's  fast  break  lay-up  gave 
the  Phi  Sigs  a  31-15  lead,  after 
which  they  coasted  home.

the  natural  world  and  thus  bring- 
ing upon  himself  unknown  conse- 
quences. 

The  answer  to  this  dilemna  lies 
in  man's  image  of  himself  and 
his  view  of  the  natural  world. 
Man  must  learn  from  the  past, 
he  must  see  nature  as  a  progres- 
sion, and  he  must  think  into  the 
future   with  an  eye   on   the   past. 

Finally,  Professor  Grant  em- 
phasized chat  the  balance  of  na- 
ture is,  and  always  will  be  im- 
portant, and  that  man  is  a  part 
of  the  balance.  "If  exploitation 
upsets  this  balance,"  he  said, 
"man  will  pass  from  the  earth 
and  evolution  will  not  see  him  a- 
gain,"

Six  Phi  Sigs  on  Squad 

League  champion  Phi  Sig  had 
the  most  choices  with  six.  Tux- 
bui'y  and  Skip  Major  led  the  Phi 
Sigs  in  scoring,  Steve  BowliuK 
was  its  ace  playmaker,  and  sky- 
scrapers Curt  Green,  Dave  Appel- 
baum, and  Tim  Reichert  domin- 
ated the   boards. 

Runner-up  DU  and  Phi  Gain 
took  second  honors  with  four  picks 
apiece.  Bill  Chapman's  outside 
Shooting  was  spectacular  through- 
out the  season,  and  the  Zoomen 
were  aided  by  Dave  Dillman's  ball- 
handling  and  the  reboundiiiR  of 
Gerry  Wheaton  and  Nick  Holmes. 
For  the  Fijis,  Lum  and  Prichett 
formed  a  fine  scoring  combina- 
tion, and  they  were  supplemented 
by  the  outside  shooting  of  Bob 
Stevens  and  John  MilhoUand.

Continued  from   Page   5,   Col.   5 

Chapel  Board  President  George 
Benwick  '63  sums  up  the  year's 
progress  as  follows:  "The  year  for 
the  Chapel  has  been  a  good  one. 
The  Board  lias  become  a  more 
effective  organization,  the  decline 
in  chapel  attendance  was  less 
than  many  expected,  and  the  real 
purpose  of  the  Chapel  to  provide 
religious  opportunities  for  those 
who  seek  them,  has  been  realized. 
It  is  clear,  therefore,  that  the 
Chapel  and  the  Board  will  con- 
tinue to  play  a  very  important 
role  in  college  and  community 
life."

there  would  be  more  "free  flow" 
among  social  units. 

A  few  even  put  forth  the  opin- 
ion that  the  social  unit  system 
would  allow  them  "a  better  chance 
of  personal  and  intellectual  ful- 
fillment." One  of  our  pioneers  con- 
fessed that  "everybody  hates  me" 
and  X'ed  in  the  social  unit  block. 
Another  social  uniteer  opined, 
"It's  a  screw  deal  no  matter  what 
I  do,"  then  somewhat  ironicly  con- 
cluded, "it's  a  thrilling  prospect 
to  be  a  leader  of  the  New  Wil-

RECORD  Plans^ 

New  Magazine 

The  RECORD  will  publish  the 
long-awaited  first  issue  of  their 
magazine  supplement  sometime 
early  next  week.  This  issue  will  be 
the  first  of  at  least  three  issues 
which  the  paper  hopes  to  publish 
before  the  end  of  this  semes- 
ter and  will  become  a  permanent 
publication  if  it  is  successful. 

The  first  issue  will  contain  a 
long  article  by  Lee  Richmond  on 
the  week  which  the  exchange  stu- 
dents spent  at  Morehouse  College 
during  spring  vacation,  an  analy- 
sis of  Richard  Nixon's  fall  from 
political  grace  by  Steve  Strauss 
and  reviews  of  several  of  Paul 
Goodman's  books  in  recognition 
of  his  recent  visit  to  Williams. 

For  succeeding  issues,  articles 
have  been  planned  on  the  Pownal 
Race  Track  and  the  problems  of 
the  unions,  the  Northern  Student 
Movement,  the  precarious  situa- 
tion of  Williams'  endowment  and 
the  new  movie  theatre  which  Pet- 
er Desmond  is  planning  to  open. 

Published  as  a  supplement  to 
the  paper,  the  magazine  will  per- 
mit staffers  to  explore  at  .some 
length  certain  problems  which 
cannot  be  fully  covered  due  to  the 
space  limitations  of  the  paper.  Al- 
tlioufih  wnrk  is  being  solicited 
from  outside  sources,  the  ma,iority 
of  the  work  will  be  done  by  mem- 
bers of  the  staff  of  THE  REC- 
ORD. 

In  publishing  the  magazine,  the 
RECORD  was  prompted  by  the 
immediate,  and  untimely,  cessa- 
tions of  virtually  all  other  campus 
publications.  Magazines  of  politi- 
cal opinion,  such  as  Nexus,  folded 
after  one  Lssue,  and  the  other 
magazines  such  as  The  Red  Bal- 
loon and  The  Purple  Cow  do  not 
publish  articles  of  journalistic  en- 
terprise.

President   Sawyer   greets   the    Morehouse   students. 


Pour  Morehouse  students  left 
Williamsbown  yesterday  after  a 
week-long  stay  In  the  Happy  Val- 
ley. Here  as  part  of  the  Gargoyle- 
sponsored  exchange  program  with 
the  Atlanta  University,  the  four 
students  attended  classes,  visited 
our  fair  sisters  from  the  North 
and,  in  general,  availed  themselves 
of  the  opportunities  Williams  of- 
fers. 

Morehouse  Student 

The  four  students  were:  Ed 
Curry  '63,  from  Bessemer,  Ala., 
Roland  Hart  '64  of  Jacksonville, 
Pla.,  John  smith  "63  of  Macon, 
Ga.,  and  Paul  Walker  '64  from 
Chatanooga,  Tenn. 

That  Morehouse  students 
brought  the  understanding  of 
Southern  Negroes  to  the  civil 
rights  issue  was  evidenced  In  a 
Student  Union  luncheon  held 
Monday  noon.  Speaking  on  the 
state  of  their  race  in  their  native 
states,  each  student  scored  the  ab- 
surdity of  the  racial  situation  in 
the  South. 


Small  Bequest 

"It's  just  plain  silly,"  said  John 
Smith,  as  he  described  the  South's 
reluctance  to  grant  first-class  cit- 
izenship to  its  Negro  population. 
"It's  a  small  request  to  ask  to  be 
able  to  live  as  the  white  folk  do, 
but  they  seem  mighty  unwilling  to 
grant  it." 

During  a  lengthy  question  and 
answer  period  that  followed  the 
speeches,  many  major  areas  of  the 
civil  rights  movement  were  discus- 
sed. The  participants  seemed  to 
agree  that  the  potential  for  united

N.  Y.  Times  Speaks 
On  College  Morality ; 
Williams  Is  Pictured 

The  New  York  Times  magazine 
section  of  April  14  Included  in 
its  learned  pages  a  brutally  frank 
story  on  college  morality.  The 
story,  by  Fred  M.  Hechinger,  ed- 
ucation editor  of  the  Times,  and 
his  wife,  Grace,  pointed  to  the 
"problem"  of  Increasing  sexual 
license  on  American  college  cam- 
puses. 

With  the  story  were  printed 
pictures  of  various  aspects  of  stu- 
dent social  intercourse,  taken  on 
the  Williams  College  campus.  In 
eluded  were  tltllating  shots  of  a 
twist  party  at  Kappa  Alpha  and 
of  "An  Undergraduate  Discussion" 
at  TDX. 

The  pictures  were  taken  by 
George  Zlmble,  Times  photograph- 
er, to  accompany  the  story  on 
fraternities  at  Williams  College 
which  appeared  during  the  fall 
of  last  year.  There  was  however, 
no  mention  made  of  where  the 
pictures  were  taken  or  under  what 
circumstances. 

Strangely  enough,  Williams  was 
not  even  mentioned  in  -the  article 
whose  focus  ranged  over  a  great 
deal  of  the  Eastern  Seaboard  and 
the  Midwest.  Examples  of  admin- 
istrative Intervention  and  admin- 
istrative permissiveness  were  tak- 
en from  Harvard,  Cornell,  Colum- 
bia, Radcllffe  and  numerous  oth- 
ers, but  Williams  and  its  prob- 
lems were  ignored.

"Social  hours  and  conduct  must 
be  enforced  by  the  house  as  a 
whole.  Some  means  of  informing 
of  the  house  hour  deadline  on 
big  weekends  will  be  arranged,  but 
the  house  as  a  whole,  not  merely 
the  officers,  are  responsible  in 
maintaining  college  hours  and  de- 
cent conduct,  for  where  hours  are 
broken  or  conduct  is  indecent,  the 
house  as  a  whole  will  be  subject  to 
punishment  by  the  College." 

$35  Per  Capita  Tax 

The  $9800  budget  was  estimated 
In  relation  to  both  units  only  as 
a  matter  of  convenience.  In  ac- 
tuality each  unit  will  have  its  own 
budget.  The  $35  tax  will  appear 
on  the  college  bill.  Steering  com- 
mittee chairman,  Davis  Taylor, 
'64,  estimated  that  this  tax  will 
represent  a  $200  to  $300  saving  in 
comparison  to  fraternity  expense. 

An  estimated  $4200  will  be  used 
for  social  purposes.  $600  will  be 
allocated  for  each  of  the  three 
big  weekends.  Homecoming,  Win- 
ter Carnival,  and  Spring  Weekend. 

For  cultural  activities,  such  as 
films  and  lectures,  $3500  Is  al- 
located. Tills  estimation  would  al- 
low lecturers  to  spend  an  extra 
day  at  each  unit  mixing  Inform- 
ally with  the  students.  There  Is 
already  a  possibility  that  play- 
write  Edward  Albee  will  lecture  in 
September.

The  Quota  System 


bt/  Dave  Appelbaum 

The  Rushinj^  Subconimittoe  of  the  College  Council  currently 
finds  itself  in  a  most  unenviable  jKisition.  To  it  is  relegated  the 
task  of  reforming  a  rushing  system  antedated  by  College  iniple- 
mentatiun  of  social  units  and  decreasing  numbers  of  rushees. 
More  importantly,  by  whatever  decision  it  arrives  at,  tlie  imme- 
diate future  of  the  fraternity  system  on  campus  will  be  determined. 

The  rushing  system  in  recent  times  has  been  the  nursemaid 
of  tlie  fraternity  system.  It  has  .served  its  jwtient  well.  While  it 
has  perhaps  stunted  the  growth  of  one  or  another  of  its  con- 
stituent jjarts,  all  in  all,  it  has  kept  the  system  alive  and  in  at 
least  superficial  good  health.  Functionally,  its  operation  is  simple: 
to  maintain  a  method  whereby  j)ros|)ective  candidates  for  fra- 
ternities may  in  some  orderly  fashion  compare  houses  and  pledge 
one  of  their  choice,  while  the  fraternities  may  concomitantly 
compare  and  choose  theii'  membership.  As  in  any  system  of 
bilateral  decision,  the  problems  arise  in  correlating  the  two  choices 
—that  of  the  candidate  for  his  house,  and  tliat  of  the  house  of 
its  candidates. 

The  system  since  the  fall  of  1960  has  fallen  under  tlie  aus- 
picious title  of  Total  Opportunity.  This  device  sought  to  resolve 
the  cross-interests  manifesting  themselves  by  the  dual  choice 
inherent  in  rushing.  As  a  device,  it  could  only  have  been  con- 
ceived by  Rube  Goldberg,  or  a  desperate  committee  of  men  in 
a  small  liberal  arts  college.  For  in  order  to  avoid  the  psychology 
and  emotion  brought  about  in  the  final  decision  of  which  can- 
didate pledged  which  house  (and  vice  versa),  it  replaced  the 
iiuman  factor  with  that  of  the  machine.  By  this  final  mechaniza- 
tion, ultimate  responsibility  for  ruptured  prides  and  hurt  feelings 
then  fell  on  an  inert  IBM  computer. 

The  consequences  of  this  move  have  been  many.  As  a  man- 
made  device.  Total  Opportunity  has  incorporated  several  of  the 
lunises  into  its  artificiality.  Some  houses  have  been  kept  artificially 
alive  under  Total  Opportunity;  for,  among  other  things,  it  ensures 
tlic  fraternity  system  of  quantitative,  though  not  qualitative,  equi- 
ty. Each  house  may  pledge  up  to  but  no  more  than  a  certain  quota, 
a  figure  arrived  at  by  dividing  the  number  of  rushees  by  the 
iimnber  of  houses.  The  difference,  then,  between  one  fraternity 
and  another  is  not  usually  numerical;  the  system  remains  bal- 
anced. But  more  importantly,  the  system  remains  on  an  even  keel. 
Most  houses  are  kept  on  nearly  the  same  level,  with  little  chance 
of  any  one  house  "controlling"  the  campus  over  an  extended  period 
of  time. 

Thus,  the  fraternity  system's  position  on  campus  has  been 
upheld  at  the  same  time  that  the  individual  fraternity's  position 
within  the  system  has  been  equalized.  The  outward  calm  pro- 
duced by  this  leveling  process  has  belied  the  basic  instability 
of  the  system.  The  fraternities,  after  all,  are  competitors;  in  order 
to  secure  the  highest  quality  of  membership,  they  extroverted 
themselves  on  campus  through  either  dirty  rushing,  or  social 
functions  open  to  prospective  candidates.  The  system  settled  down 
under  the  aegis  of  Total  Opportunity,  while  it  surreptitiously 
conducted  those  necessities  proscribed  to  it  by  the  same  Total 
Opportunity. 

The  situation  of  implementation  has  changed  all  of  tliis.  Al- 
though in  recent  years,  there  was  no  real  alternative  to  the  social 
life  of  fraternities,  prospective  fraternity  candidates  are  con- 
fronted with  the  reality  of  a  new  social  system.  Even  in  its  very 
formative  stages,  this  system  has  promised  a  social  life  comparable 
to  fraternal  iiffairs,  with  certain  side  benefits  not  present  in  the 
fraternity  itself.  Though  its  long-run  contributions  to  the  educa- 
tional process  of  the  College  will  be  numerous,  most  candidates 
find  themselves  deciding  on  this  concrete  social  function.  To 
further  complicate  any  decision,  however,  the  College  has  re- 
leased a  time-table  clearly  indicating  the  demise  of  the  present 
fraternity  system  within  three  years.  Consequently,  the  more- 
than-probable  outcome  of  these  alternatives  will  be  a  net  de- 
crease in  the  number  of  rushees  in  the  fall. 

The  Rushing  Committee,  headed  by  Ted  Ebberts  '64,  finds 
itself  in  a  rather  paradoxical  position.  Constituted  as  the  guardian 
of  the  rushing  system,  and  hence  the  fraternity  system,  it  must 
soon  make  a  decision  which  will  destroy  tlie  system  as  it  now 
stands.  It  will  recommend  a  plan  for  rushing,  next  fall,  which  will 
be  acted  upon  by  the  Social  Council.  The  dilemma  is  this:  to 
maintain  the  quota  system  or  to  abolish  tlie  quota  system.  The 
first  alternative  has  certain  well-defined  consequences;  although 
continuing  the  quantitative  equity,  the  system  as  a  whole  would 
be  fatally  weakened.  The  houses,  in  a  financial  bind,  need  as 
many  pledges  as  possible  to  offset  house  expenses  and  upkeep; 
the  quota  of  course  would  prevent  the  fulfilling  of  such  a  need 
for  the  greater  number  of  houses.  The  second  alternative  would 
sacrifice  the  system  as  a  whole  for  the  sake  of  a  few  strong  and 
deeply-endowed  houses.  Without  any  quota,  such  houses  could 
accumulate  membership,  much  as  the  hoarding  of  currency  in 
a  deflationary  period,  and  remain  finiincially  solvent  for  a  longer 
period  of  time.  Weaker  and  poorer  houses  could  collapse,  per- 
naps  opening  the  fatal  gap  of  property  negotiation  for  all  the 
houses.  Trustees  of  even  the  stronger  houses  would,  in  the  light 
of  large-scale  property  transference,  see  the  futility  of  their  fore- 
stalling, and  sell  to  the  College. 

Yet,  in  a  way,  the  decision,  whatever  it  may  be,  will  be  in- 
significant. For  ever  in  the  background  looms  the  im|)Iementa- 
tion  now  inevitable.  The  die  has  oeen  cast,  and  the  present  fra- 
ternity system,  with  its  fate  now  sealed,  may  at  best  maintain 
a  position  on  campus  for  a  year  longer,  at  worst,  lose  its  dignity 
as  financial  pressures  crack  the  bonds  of  brotherhood.  Interest 
now,  however  is  directed  toward  the  coming  fall  rush,  and  its 
Committee's  forthcoming  statement. 


fiew   Student  Group 
Sets  Freedom  Buses 


The  recently-formed  Students 
for  Passive  Action  on  Rebelliou^i 
Kauses  (SPARK)  will  sponsor  a 
schedule  of  Freedom  Buses, 
bound  for  Louisville,  Atlanta,  Lit- 
tle Rock,  Birmingham,  Greenwood 
and  points  south.  The  buses, 
which  will  be  chaperoned  by  facul 
ty  members,  will  leave  daily  at 
noon  from  in  front  of  Chapin 
Hall. 

Ronald  Dwirp  '64,  chairman  of 
the  group,  said  yesterday  that  he 
was  "fed  up  to  here"  with  the 
apathy  and  "intellectual  torpor" 
which  he  claims  "pervades  the 
campus." 

Dwirp  said  that  he  was  too 
busy  writing  a  Cant  paper  to  ride 
any  of  the  buses  himself,  but 
encouraged  students  to  sign  up. 
He  also  said  that  he  planned  a 
series  of  petitions  to  prominent 
Southerners,  protesting  racial  dis- 
crimination. 

"I  feel  confident  we  can  change 
the  course  of  history,"  he  said. 
"It's  really  a  good  thing." 


Letter  To  The  Editor 

Sawyer  Xorrects' 
Editorial,  Letter 


To  the  Editor: 

In  the  interests  of  accuracy  I 
would  like  to  give  you  these  facts 
as  the  basis  for  a  correction  in 
the  Record  regarding  the  editorial 
and  letter  appearing  in  the  April 
12    issue. 

1)  With  regard  to  the  Glee  Club 
trip:  As  soon  as  we  were  notified 
of  the  problem,  we  made  the  clear 
decision  that  if  all  members  of 
the  Glee  Club  were  not  welcome, 
the  group  would  not  participate. 
The  Glee  Club  Board  concurred 
in  this  decision  and  it  was  com- 
municated by  Professor  Barrow  to 
Mary  Washington  College  and  to 
the  entire  Williams  Glee  Club. 
There  was  no  attempt  to  suppress 
the  fact  and  inquiries  were  readily 
answered.  (A  call  from  the  Wash- 
ington Post,  for  example,  asked  if 
the  story  were  true  and  we  so  con- 
firmed it).  We  did  not  seek  to 
make  a  publicity  story  out  of  it, 
feeling  that  we  had  made  our  de- 
cision and  that  the  rest  was  up 
to  the  host  institution.  It  was 
their  concert,  not  ours. 

2)  With  regard  to  the  exchange 
of  visits  with  Morehouse  College: 
I  had  been  away  on  a  trip  until 
Friday  p.m.,  April  12,  and  had  not 
to  my  knowledge  been  consulted 
about  what  I  understand  has 
proved  a  successful  visit. 

Hence  any  suggestions  to  the 
contrary  are  inaccurate  and 
should  at  the  very  least  have  been 
checked  carefully  before  putting 
anything  of  this  kind  in  print. 
Sincerely, 
John  E.  Sawyer

Reily  In  Surgery  In  New  Orleans; 
Gridiron  Star  Sidelined  By  Lungs 


Mike  Reily  '64,  co-captaln- 
elect  of  the  Williams  football  team 
and  President  of  Alpha  Delta  Phi, 
underwent  an  operation  last  week 
for  treatment  of  a  lung  ailment 
contracted  last  winter. 

Reily,  who  IcJt  the  Williams 
campus  shortly  after  tlie  start  of 
the  second  .semester,  is  now  re- 
cuperating in  Turo  Hospital  in 
New  Orleans.  During  his  absence, 
expected  to  last  until  nexl  Jan- 
uary, the  presidency  of  AD  will 
be  a.s.sumed  by  present  vice-pres- 
ident Chris  Hagy  '64. 

The  215-pound  center,  who  .sci 
a  college  record  of  79  tackles  his 
sophomore  year,  was  elected  llie 
same  season  to  the  third  team 
of  the  Little  All  American  .squ.id 
and  was  awarded  Honorable  Men- 
tion for  the  squad  this  year.  In 
addition,  he  was  elected  to  the  first 
team  of  the  Little  All-New  Eng- 
land football  squad  in  both  his 
sophomore  and  junior  years. 

Reily  was  named  co-captain  of 
next  year's  football  squad  with 
Ben  Wagner,  also  a  junior,  at  the 
close  of  last  fall's  football  sea.son, 
during  which  the  Louisiana  Mon- 
ster was  second  in  tackles  to  Al 


Mike    Reily    before    his   illness 

Hageman.  A  replacement  for  Reily 
as  first-string  center  and  liiii'- 
backcr  has  not  yet  been  decided 
upon;  "the  prime  candidates,"  ac- 
cording to  Coach  Pete  deLisscr, 
will  probably  be  Al  Hageman  and 
Tom  Howell.

His  project  has  been  made  pas- 
sible by  a  sabbatical  grant  from 
Williams,  the  Lilly  Post-doctoral 
Fellowship  Proeram  in  Religion. 
and  a  Danforth  Campus  Ministry 
Grant.  Together  with  Mrs.  Eusdeu 
and  their  tour  children,  he  will 
live  in  Kyoto  but  he  also  will  trav- 
el to  other  reliniiius  centers  in 
Japan. 

Dr.  Eusden  also  will  work  pan- 
time  in  communily  .service  pro- 
srams  sponsored  by  the  Friends. 
and  will  investigate  future  service 
opportunities  in  the  Par  East  for 
Williams  students.  Before  depart- 
ing this  summer  for  Japan,  he 
will  continue  his  study  of  Japanese 
in  an  Intensive  course  at  Harvard. 

During  his  sabbatical,  Dr.  Eus- 
den plans  to  finish  a  book  on 
William  Ames,  the  influential  17th 
century  Puritan,  to  be  published 
In  the  fall  of  1964.  He  will  con- 
tinue work  on  another  book,  to 
be  called  "Male  and  Female:  A 
Christian  View,"  while  drafting  e'i- 
says  -  and  possibly  a  book  -  on 
Buddhism  and  Christianity. 

Dr.  Eusden  received  his  A.B.  at 
Harvard  in  1943,  studied  one  year 
at  Harvard  Law  School,  and  in 
1949  received  his  B.D.,  cum  laude, 
from  the  Yale  Divinity  School.  He 
attended  Yale  Graduate  Scliool 
part-time  from  1949-52  and  full- 
time  in  1952-53,  taking  his  Ph.D. 
there  in  1954.

Winch     Physics     Text 
Enters     New     Edition 

A  second  edition  of  Electricity 
and  Magnetism  by  Dr.  Ralph  P. 
Winch,  the  Baiclay  Jermain  Pro- 
fessor of  Natural  Philosophy  and 
Chairman  of  the  Physics  Depart- 
ment at  Williams,  was  published 
last  April  2  by  Prentice-Hall. 

The  first  edition  of  the  text,  is- 
sued in  1955,  went  through  six 
printings  and  at  one  point  was  in 
use  at  seventy-five  colleges  and 
universities. 

Makes  Major  Changes 

The  second  edition  has  been 
extensively  revised  and  rewritten. 
The  major  changes  are  contain- 
ed in  a  later  chapter  by  Dr.  David 
A.  Park,  also  of  the  Williams  Phy- 
sics Department,  in  which  Max- 
well's equations  in  differential 
form  are  derived  from  basic  facts 
concerning  fields  and  charges  by 
vector  analysis. 

These  equations  are  then  used 
to  discuss  the  transmission  of  the 
electro-magnetic  energy  through 
space  and  to  explain  some  relativ- 
istic  considerations  and  elemen- 
tary properties  of  light  waves. 

Cited  for  Contributions 

In  January,  1960,  Winch  was 
cited  by  the  Association  of  Physics 
Teachers  for  his  "contributions  to 
the  teaching  of  physics." 

He  has  been  Secretary  of  the 
American  Association  of  Physics 
Teachers  since  1961.  In  1931 
Winch  came  to  Williams  after  re- 
ceiving his  B.A.  from  Milton  Col- 
lege in  1927  and  his  M.A.  in  1929 
and  PhD.  in  1931,  both  from  the 
University  of  Wisconsin.  He  serv- 
ed as  a  visiting  professor  at 
Princeton  in  1942,  at  Brown  in 
1952,  and  has  taught  at  Wesleyan 
the  last  four  summers. 

Winch  is  also  author  of  16  arti- 
cles which  appear  in  the  1960  Mc- 
Graw-Hill Encyclopedia  of  Science 
and  Technology  and  of  articles 
published  in  various  scientific 
journals.

Dr.  Arthur  Mann  will  be  visit- 
ing professor  of  history  at  Wil- 
liams for  the  first  semester  of  the 
1963-64  academic  year.  Mann  has 
been  a  member  of  the  Smith  Col- 
lege  faculty  since   1955. 

He  will  teach  the  senior  course 
in  American  History  and  Litera- 
ture while  Professor  C.  Frederick 
Rudolph  is  on  sabbatical  leave. 

Two  Books   Published 

Mann's  field  of  research  is  Am- 
erican history,  and  he  is  engaged 
in  writing  a  two-volume  biography 
of  Piorello  LaGuardia.  The  first 
volume  was  published  in  1950  and 
received  wide  critical  appraise. 

He  is  also  the  author  of  two 
books  published  in  1954:  Yankee 
Reformers  in  the  Urban  Age,  Har- 
vard University  Press;  and 
Growth  and  Achievement:  Temple 
Israel   1854-1954,   Riverside   Press. 

He  also  has  written  articles  for 
the  New  England  Quarterly,  Anti- 
och  Review,  Commentary,  and 
other  publications.  In  1961  he  was 
named  to  the  executive  committee 
of  the  New  England  Association 
for  American  Studies. 

Taught  French 

In  World  War  II  Mann  taught 
French  for  six  months  at  Le 
Havre,  France,  at  the  U.S.  Army 
Port  of   the  Embarkation  School. 

He  graduated  summa  cum  laude 
from  Brooklyn  College  in  1944, 
and  received  his  M.A.  and  Ph.D. 
degrees  from  Harvard  University. 
He  was  a  recipient  of  the  Brook- 
lyn College  Alumni  Day  Award 
and  a  member  of  the  Proplaea, 
honorary  society  at  Brooklyn  Col- 
lege.

Before  joining  the  Smith  fac- 
ulty, Mann  had  taught  at  Mass- 
achusetts Institute  of  Technology 
since  1948.  In  the  summer  of  1960 
he   taught  a  course   in   American

professor,  but  he  has  been  ap- 
pointed full  professor  at  Smith  to 
take  effect  in  July. 

Rudolph  Comments  Most  Highly 

Dr.  Rudolph  commented  that 
Williams  is  "most  fortunate"  to 
have  Mann  for  a  semester, 

Rudolph  said  that  he  has  much 
enjoyed  talking  with  Mann  and 
reading  Mann's  books,  and  that  he 
trusts  Williams  students  will  pro- 
fit greatly  from  liim. 


Silcock  Explains  Malayan  Rubber 
As  Result  Of  Indentures,  Diffusion 

Prof.  Thomas  Silcock  of  tlie  University  of  Malaya  traced  the 
development  of  "Natural  Rubber  in  Malaya:  A  Case  Study  in 
Diffused  Cajiitalism"  in  Griffin  Hall  Monday  with  the  avowed  in- 
tention of  being  provocative;  the  reaction  of  the  largely  Cliiett 
Center  fellows  and  faculty  audience  in  questions  proved  that  his 
assertions  about  the  role  of  government  and  labor  relations  had 
aroused  interest  and  critical  evaluation. 

Sponsored  jointly  by  the  Williams  Lecture  Committee  and  the 
Cluett  Center,  Silcock  on  the  whole  dealt  with  formal  rather  than 
substantive  problems.  Emphasizing  the  difference  between  the 
development  of  a  region  in  a  well-defined  national  area  and  of 
an  amorphous  pre-national  group  of  nations,  he  attributed  the 
success  of  rubber  in  Malaya  to  the  activities  of  the  botanist  "Mad 
Gridley";  diseases  in  other  crops  and  the  develo|jment  of  the  jweu- 

matic  tire;  the  "agency  hou.ses"  or 


Cyclists    Compete ; 
Two    Men   Place 

The  Williams  Cycling  Club,  just 
out  of  hibernation,  gave  a  disap- 
pointing performance  in  its  first 
race  of  the  year  at  Princeton  last 
Sunday.  Jim  Caldwell  and  Dean 
Bandes  placed  thirteenth  and 
fourteenth  respectively  out  of 
nineteen  entrants,  while  Dennis 
Sullivan  was  prevented  from  fin- 
ishing by  chain  trouble  and  a 
spill.  Princeton  was  the  winning 
team  on  the  36  mile  course,  and 
Dan  Dimancescu  of  Dartmouth 
finished  first. 

The  race  was  run  over  seven 
laps  of  a  five-plus  mile  circuit, 
with  the  first  lap  "neutralized"  or 
run  at  a  slow  pace  so  all  riders 
could  keep  together  and  learn  the 
route.

connections  with  the  London 
money  market;  the  sinister  net- 
work of  labor  recruiting,  tax  form- 
ing, gambling,  and  opium  produc- 
tion; and  later  the  reaction  of 
government  to  the  extremes  of 
exploitation. 

Eventually  Secretaries  for 
Chinese  Affairs  stepped  in  to  reg- 
ulate the  complex  system  of  in- 
dentures transferred  from  owners 
of  Chinese  lodging  houses  all  the 
way  to  the  Malayan  plantation 
owners  through  a  host  of  middle- 
men and  eroded  corrupting  Influ- 
ence of  the  Secret  Societies,  in- 
efficient beclause  of  their  Inter- 
necine strife. 

By  contrast,  the  Indian  labor 
supply  was  always  strictly  subject 
to  government  control.  The  first 
imported  labor  was  convict,  but, 
when  this  supply  ran  out,  elabor- 
ate system  of  native  recruiters  was 
established.  Adverse  publicity  in 
India  itself  and  the  practice  of 
"crimping"  or  stealing  another 
employer's  recruited  labor  spurred 
reform  and  a  Labor  Code. 

Economic  questions  of  small 
holdings  versus  estates,  the  in- 
ability of  the  indigenous  popula- 
tion to  contribute  to  the  develop- 
ment In  an  executive  capacity,  and 
the  "reluctance"  of  the  British 
government  to  increase  its  colon- 
ial holdings  occupied  the  rest  of 
Prof.  Silcock's  talk. 


THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD 

WED.,   APRIL   17,    1963 


UWf   Students  Present 
World  Law  As  Solution 
Jo  Balance  Of  J  error 


Eskimo  Art  Now  At  College  Museum 


By  Doug  Rose 

"The  life  expectancy  of  an  A- 
merican  is  not  sixty-five  years." 
Learning  this.  Ji>n  Weiss,  '64, 
spent  March  29-31  as  one  of  55 
student  delegates  at  the  student 
conference  on  World  Law  and  Dis- 
armament discovering  possible 
-solutions  to  the  problems  posed 
by  international  tensions  that 
promise  short,  not  long,  lives  for 
Americans. 

The  conference  was  sponsored 
by  the  United  World  Federalists, 
an  affiliate  of  World  Association 
of  World  Federalists.  Dr.  John 
Toll,  former  Chairman  of  the  Fed- 
eration of  American  Scientists, 
opened  the  conference  with  a  talk 
on  "The  Dangers  of  the  Thermo 
Nuclear  Age." 

Disarmament  Not  Idealistic 

Making  the  point  that  nuclear 
war  was  a  greater  danger  than 
cancer  or  any  other  contemporary 
problem,  Toll  pointed  out  that 
attending  fully  and  thoroughly  to 
solutions  of  our  greatest  needs 
was  not  "idealistic".  Toll  was  fol- 
lowed by  Harvard  Professor  Louis 
B.  Sohn,  co-author  of  World 
Peace  Through  World  Law. 

Sohn's  five  point  solution  to  the 
balance  of  terror  was:  1)  general 
and  complete  disarmament;  2)  a 
UN  based  world  police  force;  3) 
administered  world  law;  4)  an  ef- 
fective world  court,  including  a 
world  equity  court;  5)  develop- 
ment of  the  "b.ickward"  countries. 

The  remainder  of  the  conference 
was  devoted  ta  analyzing  the  sit- 
uation of  the  Arms  Control  and 
Disarmament  Agency.  UWF  work 


on  and  through  the  88th  Congress 
and  student  action  on  campus. 
Peace  Is  Government 

Taking  "world  peace  through 
world  law"  as  its  slogan,  the  UWF 
emphasize  that  "peace  is  more 
than  the  absence  of  war.  Peace 
is  even  more  than  the  achieve- 
ment of  disarmament.  Peace  is 
the  presence  of  justice,  of  law,  of 
order  -  in  short,  of  government." 

Weiss  hopes  to  start  a  Williams- 
Bennington  or  Little  Three  Stu- 
dent Federalists  chapter  by  next 
fall.  Weiss  stated  that  the  UWF, 
started  in  1947,  has  more  than 
1200  student  members  at  various 
colleges  around  the  U.S. 

UWF  Program 

The  UWF  eleven  point  program 
includes  prohibiting  force  by  na- 
tions in  international  affairs,  giv- 
ing a  world  court  compulsory  jur- 
isdiction, modifying  the  one- 
nation,  one-vote  .system  in  the 
UN  General  Assembly,  eliminating 
single  nation  veto  iwwer  in  the 
Security  Council,  granting  limited, 
defined  taxing  power  to  the  UN, 
PROVIDrNG  A  Bill  of  Rights  pro- 
tecting individuals  against  the 
UN,  and  providing  for  universal 
UN  membership  without  rights  of 
secession. 

Pushing  for  a  complete  overhaul 
of  the  UN  Charter,  UWF  believes 
"world-wide  disarmament  without 
a  tJN  Police  Force  is  unrealistic 
A  world  police  force  not  subject 
to  world  law  is  an  invitation  for 
tyranny.  World  law  without  the 
means  for  its  enforcement  will 
command  neither  respect  nor  com- 
pliance." 


■Eskimo  Graphic  Art,"  an  ex- 
hibition of  50  stone-block  and 
sealskin  prints  in  color  and  in 
black  and  white,  has  opened  at 
the  Williams  College  Museum  of 
Art  and  will  continue  through 
April  22.  The  Museum  will  be  open 
on  weekdays  from  9-12  and  from 
2-4  and  on  Sundays  from  2-5. 
There  is  no  charge  for  admission 
and  the  public  is  invited. 

The    exhibition    is  part  of  the 


1960  collection  of  Eskimo  graphic 
art  from  Cape  Dorset,  a  small  and 
isolated  community  on  Baffin  Is- 
land in  the  Canadian  Arctic.  The 
exhibition  was  organized  by  Es- 
kimo Art,  Inc.,  under  the  super- 
vision of  Eugene  B.  Power,  and 
is  being  circulated  throughout  the 
country  by  the  Smithsonian  In- 
stitution Traveling  Exhibition  Ser- 
vice. 
Besides  using  wood  carvings,  the 


Eskimos  have  developed  two  new 
techniques  for  making  prints 
which  enable  them  to  provide  tex- 
tures as  well  as  subtle  tones  and 
shades.  In  one,  a  design  is  trans- 
ferred to  sealskin  which  is  cut  as 
a  stencil.  It  is  placed  on  paper, 
and  color  is  added  through  the 
stencil  openings.  In  the  .-jtone-cut 
process,  a  polished  and  flattened 
soapstone.  cut  in  low  relief,  is 
used  as  a  stencil. 


Professors  Winch,  Crawford  To  Go 
On  Sabbaticals ;  To  Study,  Write 


Two  members  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Physics  will  go  on  leave 
next  year. 

Ralph  P.  Winch,  Barclay  Ger- 
main Pi'ofessor  of  Natural  Phil- 
osophy and  chairman  of  the  De- 
partment of  Physics,  plans  a  trip 
to  India  during  the  first  semester. 
Professor  Winch  has  a  daughter 
who  has  lived  in  India  for  the 
past  six  years. 

Professor  and  Mrs.  Winch  will 
spend  the  first  two  months  of 
their  trip  touring  Europe  and  the 
Middle  East.  They  will  then  pro- 
ceed to  India  and  spend  Novem- 
ber and  December  with  their 
daughter.  They  will  return  to  Wil- 
liams via  the  Pacific  Ocean, 
thereby  completing  a  circuit  a- 
round  the  globe. 

WiU  Study  En  Route 

While  on  the  trip.  Professor 
Winch  plans  to  spend  part  of  his 
time  reviewing  some  of  the  re- 
cent developments  of  modern  phy 
sics.  He  will  utilize  the  reference 
facilities  of  various  libraries  along 
the  route. 

Pranzo  H.  Crawford,  Thomas  D 


Reed  Professor  of  Natural  Phil- 
osophy and  former  chairman  of 
the  Department  of  Physics,  will 
spend  the  second  semester  of  next 
year  preparing  a  text-book  in  el- 
ementary physics.  The  book  is  for 
non-science  majors  and  is  design- 
ed for  use  in  Physics  101-102. 


Braque  And  Bourdon 
Displayed  At  Museum 

Two  paintings,  "Landscape,"  by 
Sebastian  Bourdon,  and  "Still 
Life,"  by  Georges  Braque,  are  now 
being  displayed  in  the  Williams 
College  Museum  of  Art  in  addi 
tlon  to  the  two  present  ex 
hlbitions,  "Sculpture  by  Beatrice 
Stone,"  and  "Eskimo  Graphic 
Art."  The  public  is  cordially  in- 
vited, and  there  is  no  admission 
charge. 

The  paintings  are  on  loan  from 
the  Rhode  Island  School  of  De- 
sign where  three  paintings  by 
Coello,  van  der  Hamen  y  Leon,

MIT  Drops  Freshman  Track,  70-56 


Only  five  days  of  work  and  the 
absence  of  key  dash  men  spelled 
defeat  for  the  freshman  track 
team  in  their  initial  70-56 
collision  with  MIT  Saturday  on 
Weston  Field. 

The  Ephlets  garnered  only  five 
out  of  fourteen  firsts,  but  exhibi- 
ted a  depth  potential  that  stimu- 
lated optimism  about  their  chanc- 
es with  more  practice  and  the  re- 
turn of  sidelined  stalwarts  like 
dash  man  Nich  Browne.  Eight  sec- 
onds and  seven  thirds  indicates 
the  power  that  had  not  complete- 
ly developed  by  the  first  Saturday 
after  spring  vacation. 

John  Pryor,  Tom  Hellman.  and 
Tony  Ryan  contributed  five  points 
apiece  to  the  Purple  field  effort 
In  the  shot,  discus,  and  pole  vault 
respectively.  Hellman  also  nabbed 
a  second  In  the  javelin  while  Pry- 
or added  a  point  in  the  discus. 

Further  successes  were  register- 
ed by  Winnie  Kipp,  second  in  the 
hammer, the  high  Jumping  duo  of 
Bill  Bowden  and  Walt  Johnston 
who  vied  for  second  and  third, 
and  Con  G'Leary  and  Pete  Bagg 
who  did  the  same  in  the  broad 
jump.  Pole  vaulter  Dick  Mumane, 


kept  out  of  his  specialty  by  a 
pre-season  accident  in  the  pit, 
rounded  out  the  field  picture  with 
a  third  in  the  javelin. 

Lane  and  Rea  Take  Firsts 
The  sole  track  triumphs  came 
in  the  220  yard  dash  and  the  220 
low  hurdles.  Jack  "Rocky"  Lane 
blasted  through  the  sprint  in  23.0, 
and  hurdler  Kelley  Rea  barely  to 
his  own  amazement  nipped  his  op- 
ponent in  29.5.  Less  successful  in 
the  grueling'  440,  Lane  turned  in  a 
third  behind  a  winning  time  slow- 
er than  his  own  effort;  indoors  at 
the  Amherst  Relays. 

Weak  In  Distance  Events 
The  superior  conditioning  of  the 
MIT  men  was  evident  especially 
in  the  distance  events.  The 
Ephlets'  Jon  Smith  dropped  17 
seconds  from  his  best  mark  in 
taking  second  in  the  mile,  while 
880  man  Johnston  finished  in  ap- 
proximately 2:10  for  a  third. 
Dashmen  Ed  Coaxum  and  Tom 
Gunn  ate  the  dust  of  MIT's  Ross 
in  the  hundred  while  Bill  Bow- 
den's  strong  push  in  the  high 
hurdles  fell  short  of  victory. 

The  frosh  will  clash  next  with 
Mt.  Hermon  on  April  24.

Beat  Brown  3-0; 
Knight  Scores 

The  Williams  Rugby  Club  open- 
ed its  regular  season  Saturday 
with  a  3-0  victory  at  Brown.  The 
Kame,  played  in  a  strong  wind, 
was  marked  by  unimpressive  play 
on  both  sides. 

Knight   Tallies  Only   Score 

With  approximately  one  minute 
gone  in  the  first  of  two  30  minute 
periods,  Woody  Knight  split  the 
uprights  on  a  penalty  try  to  pro- 
vide what  proved  to  be  the  margin 
of  victory  for  Williams. 

Aided  by  the  wind  and  some 
.sloppy  passes  by  the  Williams  rug- 
gers, Brown  was  able  to  stave  off 
any  further  scoring  threats  in  the 
first  half. 

In  the  second  half  Brown  re- 
mained on  the  defensive  while 
Williams  narrowly  missed  scoring 
on  several  occasions.  The  Purple 
fifteen  kept  ball  close  to  their  op- 
ponent's goal  throughout  the 
greater  part  of  the  second  period. 
Twice  the  ball  even  went  into  the 
Brown  endzone,  but  Williams  was 
unable  to  touch  it  down  for  the 
score. 

Nagy  Run 

Though  the  Williams  scrum 
dominated  the  scrumming  and 
the  line-outs,  the  over  all  play  of 
the  team  was  not  outstanding.  In- 
dividually, Ash  Edwards  performed 
well  all  afternoon  while  Alex  Nagy 
turned  in  probably  the  finest  run 
of  the  day.  In  the  second   period, 


By  P.  E,  Bloom 

The  Williams  Rugby  Club,  tak- 
ing their  spring  trip  In  Bermuda, 
participated  in  the  island's  College 
Rugby  Week,  posting  a  2-2  record. 
Playing  only  Bermudian  teams  the 
ruggers  beat  the  best,  while  los- 
ing to  the  worst. 

Arriving  there  the  afternoon  of 
April  24,  the  team  was  scheduled 
to  play  within  an  hour;  only  some 
very  fast  talking  on  both  sides 
kept  what  would  have  been  a  very 
poor  show  from  taking  place. 

Ruggers  Take  First  Game 

On  Tuesday,  the  26th,  with  one 


Nagy  grabbed  the  ball  from  amid 
the  flailing  feet  of  an  informal 
scrum  and  streaked  30  yards  down 
the  side  line  before  he  was  finally 
brought  down. 

In  the  last  seconds  of  the  game 
Williams  had  the  ball  on  their  op- 
ponent's three  yard  line  and  at- 
tempted to  form  a  scrum  to  push 
the  ball  over  the  goal  line.  This 
final  scoring  effort  was  thwarted 
by  the  final  gun.

day's  practice,  Williams  drubbed 
Londonderry,  16-0,  in  a  ragged 
game.  It  was  the  only  game  Wil- 
liams played  at  full  strength,  al- 
though the  whole  team  was  nurs- 
ing varying  degrees  of  sunburn. 
Both  wings,  freshman  Lee  Comfort 
and  sophomore  Alex  Nagy  ran 
very  well.  Standoff  Steve  Kaagan 
scored  also,  along  with  lumbering 
Hugh  Bedford  (spelled  Hew  Red- 
path  by  the  Bermudian  newspa- 
pers). Left  prop,  Nick  Poster  suf- 
fered a  knee  injury  that  will  keep 
him  out  for  the  season. 

More  Injuries  In  Loss 

The  second  game,  against  Ren- 
egades, saw  Williams  fall  apart  in 
the  second  half,  losing  16-0.  Hook- 
er and  Captain  Chuck  Probst,  sep- 
arated his  shoulder;  right  prop, 
Dick  Magnuson  had  a  rib  injury; 
and  Bedford  bruised  a  bone  in 
his  foot.  Since  there  are  no  sub- 
stitutions in  rugby,  the  team's  ef- 
fectiveness, was  curbed  by  being 
down  players. 

The  climax  of  the  trip  came 
when  the  ruggers  beat  Police,  the 
island  champions,  in  a  bruising 
match,  6-0.  Williams  had  to  bor- 
row two  boys  from  Amherst 
(which  was  also  in  the  College 
Rugby  Week)  to  even  field  a  full 
team.  The  Police  were  out  to  re- 
venge a  previous  8-5  loss  to  Am- 
herst. 

Baseman  Scores  One    . . . 

The  game,  a  bone -crushing, 
sometimes  dirty  affair  was  score- 
less until  midway  in  the  second 
half.  Police  man  Davy  Jones,  the 
best  player  on  the  island,  was  in- 
jured and  had  to  leave  the  field. 
Unable  to  njove  the  ball  and  forc- 
ed deep  into  their  own  territory 
by  the  kicks  of  fullback,  Tom 
Howell,  the  Police  attempted  to 
kick  out  of  their  own  territory, 
Peb  Bloom  deflected  the  kick;  big 
Al  Hageman  picked  the  ball  up 
on  the  five,  and  wading  through 
a  swarm  of  Police  players,  scored. 

. . .  And  Another 

A  few  minutes  later,  the  same 
Hageman  picked  up  another  loose 
ball,  and  wavering  like  a  great 
sunflower  in  the  wind,  dragged 
four  Policemen  across  the  goal  for 
the  second  try.  The  game  ended 
with  Williams  still  deep  in  Police 
territory.  The  second  half  was  fif- 
teen minutes  longer  than  the  first, 
as  the  referee,  a  Policeman,  waited 
vainly  for  his  team  to  turn  the 
tide. 

Williams  Wilts 

The  final  game,  against  Ber- 
muda Athletic  Association  was  the 
nadir  of  the  trip.  Williams  had  to 
get  three  players  from  the  side- 
line to  fill  out  its  side.  The  team 
managed  to  play  a  decent  first 
half,  being  down  only  3-0.  In  the 
second  half  it  disintigrated  and 
B.A.A.  won  26-0. 

Socially,  the  trip  was  a  triumph, 
as  many  new  friendships  were 
forged;  and  at  the  end  of  the  ten 
day  trip  the  team  was  invited  to 
return  for  next  year's  College 
Rugtoy  Week.  Generally,  the  rug- 
by playing  was  a  ciualified  suc- 
cess. Playing  a  game  every  other 
day  with  no  practice  in  Williams- 
town,  the  club  impressed  the  local 
teams  with  Its  strength  and  po- 
tential.

Varsity  Track  Squad  Trounces  MIT,  77-58; 
Osborne,  Neuse,  Ash  Pace  Ephs  With  24  Points 


The  Eph  trackmen  hit  the  cin- 
ders In  their  season's  opener  Sat- 
urday afternoon  at  Weston  Field, 
and  ran  away  to  a  77-58  win  over 
MI.T.  Displaying  balanced  depth 
In  both  the  running  and  field  e- 
vents.  Williams  captured  eight 
first  place  positions. 

Ephs  Sweep  Weights 

It  was  In  the  weight  events  that 
the  Purple  built  up  there  biggest 
margin.  The  Ephs  swept  the  dis- 
cus behind  returning  Junior  Bill 
Pox,  John  Bell  and  John  Hohen- 
adel.  Bob  Warner  came  out  on  tou 
in  the  hammer  throw,  while  soph 
Hohenadcl  tossed  the  shot  47  feet 
8  inches  for  first  place. 

Williams  also  showed  surprising 
strength  in  the  middle  distance  e- 


vents.  John  Osborne,  followed  by 
Karl  Neuse  and  Phil  McKnlght, 
led  the  Ephs  in  a  sweep  of  the 
440.  Osborne  added  another  two 
points  to  his  total  with  a  second 
in  the  880  yard  run. 

The  Purple  were  hiwt  badly 
when  they  were  blanked  in  the 
high  hurdles,  and  were  only  able 
to  garner  a  second  in  the  low 
hui-dles. 

Neuse  Cop»  220 

However,  the  Ephs  bounced  back 
in  the  sprints,  as  Neuse  crossed 
the  tape  in  22.0  for  a  first  place 
in  the  220  yard  dash.  Boots  Deich- 
man  took  a  third  in  the  220  and  a 
second  in  the  100  yard  da.sh  just 
ahead  of  Dave  Kershaw.

FILLING  A  WELL-NEEDED  GAP 

Although  my  son  is  a  college  freshman,  I  am  glad  to  say  that 
he  Ls  still  not  too  old  to  climb  up  on  my  lap  and  have  a  heart- 
to-heart  talk  when  things  are  troubling  him.  My  boy  is  enrolled 
at  Harvard  where  he  is  studying  to  be  a  fireman.  From  the 
time  ho  was  a  little  tiny  baby  ho  always  said  he  wanted  to  be 
a  fireman.  Of  course,  my  wife  and  I  believed  that  he  would 
eventually  grow  out  of  it,  but  no  sir,  the  little  chap  never 
wavered  in  his  ambition  for  one  minute ! 

So  here  he  is  at  Harvard  today  taking  courses  in  net  holding, 
mouth-to-mouth  breathing,  carbon  tetrachloride,  and  Dalma- 
tian dogs.  It  is  a  full  schedule  for  the  young  man,  and  that,  in 
fact,  is  exactly  what  we  talked  about  when  last  he  climbed 
upon  my  lap. 

He  comiilained  that  every  bit  of  his  time  is  taken  up  with  his 
major  reriuircments.  He  doesn't  have  so  much  as  one  hour  a 
week  to  sample  any  of  the  fascinating  courses  outside  his  major 
— liistory,  literature,  language,  science,  or  any  of  the  thousand 
and  one  things  tliat  appeal  to  liis  keen  young  mind. 

I  am  sure  that  many  of. you  find  yourselves  in  the  same 
schola.stic  bind;  you  are  taking  so  many  requirements  that  you 
can't  find  time  for  some  appealing  electives.  Therefore,  in  to- 
day's column  I  will  forego  levity  and  give  you  a  brief  survey  in 
a  subject  that  is  probably  not  included  in  your  curriculum.  . 


fe'^  ilillMiiJoOlJ 


I  have  asked  the  makers  of  Marlboro  Cigarettes  whether  I 
might  employ  this  column  — normally  a  vehicle  for  innocent 
merriment— to  pursue  this  .serious  end.  "Of  course  you  imiy, 
crazy  kid,"  they  replied  kindlily,  their  grey  eyes  crinkling  at 
the  corners,  their  manly  mouths  twisted  in  funny  little  grins. 
If  you  are  a  Marlboro  smoker — and  what  intelligent  human 

Cerson  is  not? — you  would  exiiect  the  makers  of  Marlboro  to 
e  fine  men.  And  so  they  arc— wonderful  guys,  every  man-jack 
of  thorn — good,  generous,  understanding,  wise.  They  are  each 
tipped  with  a  ])ure  white  filter  and  come  in  soft  pack  or  Flip- 
Top  box. 

But  I  digress.  We  were  going  to  take  up  a  topic  you  are 
probably  unable  to  cover  in  your  busy  academic  life.  Let  us 
start  with  the  most  basic  topic  of  all— anthropology,  the  study 
of  man  himself. 

Man  is  usually  defined  as  a  tool-making  animal,  but  I  per- 
sonally do  not  find  this  definition  oTitircly  satisfactory.  Man  is 
not  the  only  species  which  makes  tools.  The  simiuns,  for  ex- 
ample, nuike  monkey  wrenches. 

Still,  when  you  come  to  a  really  complicated  tool— like  a 
linotype,  for  instance— you  can  be  fairly  sure  it  was  made  by 
Homo  sapiens— or  else  a  very  intelligent  tiger.  The  question  one 
should  a.sk,  therefore,  is  not  toho  made  the  tool,  but  what  did 
he  do  with  it. 

For  example,  in  a  recent  excavation  in  the  Olduvai  Gorge  a 
large  ai?sortment  of  hominoid  fossils  was  found,  all  dating  back 
to  the  Middle  Pleistocene  Age.  Buried  with  the  fossils  wa.s  a 
number  of  their  artifacts,  the  most  interesting  being  a  black 
metjil  box  which  emitted  a  steady  beeping  sound.  Now,  of 
course,  zoologists  will  tell  you  that  tree  frogs  make  such  boxes 
which  they  employ  in  their  mating  activities  (I  can't  go  into 
detail  about  it  in  this  family  newspaper)  but  the  eminent  an- 
thropological team,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Walther  Sigafoos  (both  he 
and  she  are  named  Walther)  were  convinced  that  this  particular 
box  was  made  not  by  tree  frogs  but  by  Neanderthal  men.  To 
prove  their  point,  they  switched  on  the  box  and  out  came 
television,  which,  as  cverj'one  knows,  was  the  forerunner  of  fire. 

If  there  is  anything  more  you  need  to  know  about  anthro- 
pology, just  climb  up  on  my  lap  as  soon  as  my  son  leaves.

Laaosse  Team  Triumphs,  Ifl-3; 
Annison  Nets  Four  Goals  In  Win 


Eph  Nine  Compiles  3-7  Southern  Mark; 
Coombs  Sees  More  Practice  As  Essential 


The  varsity  baseball  team,  in 
its  annual  sojoiu'n  to  the  sunny 
North  Carolinian  wilds,  met  six 
southern  teams  and  managed  wins 
over  three  of  them. 

The  first  encoimter  of  the 
spring  was  with  Gylford  College. 
The  Eph  batsmen  managed  to  sal- 
vage a  split  of  the  two  games,  but 
then  went  on  a  four-game  losing 
binge  at  Louisburg  and  Wilming- 
ton. 

In  four  games  at  Pfelffer  Col- 
lege, the  sore-armed  mound  corps 
emerged  with  one  victory,  then 
went  on  to  drop  a  pair  to  Pem- 
broke. Coach  Coombs'  crew  closed 
out  the  spring  trip  with  a  victory 
at  Elon  before  the  final  scheduled 
doubleheader  was  rained  out. 


Goalie  for  the  Boston  Lacroise  Club  goxes  in  dismay  ot  the  first  of  ten  Wil- 
liams goals. 

by  Bob  Mayer 
After  a  year  of  rebuilding,  lacrosse  prospects  at  Cole  Field 
are  once  more  bright.  Coach  Art  Robinson  has  twelve  retiiriiimt 
lettermen  including  nine  of  last  year's  starters  as  well  as  a  lUr/m 
members  of  last  season's  undefeated  freshman  team.  VVliaT.s  more 
there  are  only  two  seniors  in  the  starting  lineup,  giving  pmimse 
of  a  strong  Williams  squad  for  at  least  two  more  years. 
Boston  Club  Trounced 
Saturday,  tlie  Ephs  showed  off  a  great  deal  of  offense  as  thev 
swamped  tlie  Boston  Lacrosse  Club  10-3  in  an  "exhibition"  con- 
test in  Williamstown.  Playing  against  former  Ail-Americans  and 
Williams    stars    including   "Roggie"    Dankmeyer,    '60,    and    Eric 

Widmer,  '61,  the  Purple  grabbiid 
an  early  lead  and  kept  pilinK  it 
on.  Al  Mondell  and  Ted  Preston 
both  scored  in  the  first  period 
and  Mike  Annison  added  a  third 
tally  in  the  second  quarter  An- 
nison. scoring  leader  and  co-cap- 
tain of  last  year's  frosh.  lotalfd 
five  goals  against  the  Boston 
squad  in  pacing  the  Ephs.  In  tho 
second  half,  Ron  Stempicn  scored 
twice,  and  Snuffy  Leach  once,  in 
addition  to  Annison's  four  scores. 


Williams'  limited  facilities. 
Coombs  emphasized,  makes  a  good 
workout  for  the  baseball  team  vir- 
tually impossible  before  the 
weather  breaks.  He  added  that 
John  Donovan,  the  team's  best 
pitcher,  pitched  a  maximiun 
of  only  four  innings  per  game, 
longest  stint  of  any  of  the  mound 
staff. 

Coombs  was  not  disappointed 
with  the  won-lost  record  -  it  was 
"about  as  I  expected,"  but  he 
hates  to  think  of  starting  a 
schedule  without  much  prepar- 
ation. Williams  beat  RPI  last  Sat- 
urday In  a  scrimmage,  5-4,  and 
was  scheduled  to  play  at  Middle- 
bury  on  Monday.

Defensive  Problems 

Two  of  the  three  Boston  yoal.s 
came  on  interceptions  of  Ei)li 
clears  and  shots  into  an  open  Pur- 
ple cage.  Defensive  pi'obloms 
plagued  Williams  last  year.  Coach 
Robinson  hope.s  to  solve  thi.s  by 
switching  Co-Captain  Jimmy  Wil- 
liams from  midfield  to  defense. 

During  spring  vacation.  Die 
stickmen  traveled  to  New  Jersey 
and  Baltimore  on  their  annual 
spring  trip.  At  New  Brunswick,  the 
Ephs  trounced  Cornell  13-7  while 
dropping  a  tight  game  to  Rutgers 
11-8.  Prom  there,  the  Purple  mov- 
ed to  Princeton  where  they  were 
upended  by  the  Tigers  12-8. 

At  Baltimore,  Williams  played 
Baltimore  University  in  the  only 
regular  season  game  of  the  tour. 
Up  against  one  of  the  strongest, 
fastest  squads  in  the  country,  the 
Ephs  grabbed  a  5-3  first  period 
lead  only  to  see  the  homestandlng 
Baltimore  team  bounce  back  to 
take  a  17-7  decision.  In  Balti- 
more, Williams  also  beat  Kenyon 
16-6  and  the  Baltimore  Lacrosse 
Club  15-1  before  returning  north 
to  dispose  of  the  University  of 
Massachusetts  10-2  at  Amher.st. 

Young:  Team 

"The  team  is  far  better  than  it 
was  last  year,"  commented  Robin- 
son who  is  entering  his  second 
season  as  Eph  mentor.  "They're  a 
year  older  and  we're  getting  fine 
support  from  the  sophs."  In  fact, 
youth  seems  to  be  the  keynote  of 
the  squad.  With  Tim  Baker  out 
for  the  season  with  a  dislocated 
shoulder  and  senior  Doug  Maxwell 
also  benched  with  injuries,  the 
starting  attack  consists  of  sopho- 
more Mike  Annison,  Junior  Ron 
Raines,  and  two  other  Juniors  who 
alternate  at  the  other  slot,  Bill 
Bachle  and  John  Ohly. 

On  the  first  midfield  are  senior 
Co-Captaln  Al  Mondell,  junior 
Walt  Leach,  and  sophomore  Bob- 
by Halllgan.  Backing  them  up  on 
the  second  line  are  senior  Ron 
Stempien  and  sophomores  Ted 
Preston  and  Art  Wheelock.  At  de- 
fense are  senior  Jimmy  Williams, 
Junior  Tim  Goodwin,  and  sopho- 
more Les  Pierce. 

The  Williams  ?oalle  is  Bob 
Engle,  who  last  year  as  a  sopho- 
more, was  voted  to  the  Northeast 
"A"  Division  first  team  and  was 
also  given  AU-Amerlcan  Honor- 
able Mention  recognition.

WILLIAMS  COLLEGE 


124  Students  Register  For  Unit; 
Freshmen  And  Frat  Boys  Fill  Dorms 


FRIDAY,  APRIL  19,  1963 


Price  10c 


By  Georgre  Founier 

The  magic  hour,  the  dreaded 
deadline,  D-Day  (D  for  Decision) 
has  come  and  gone;  in  short,  Ap- 
ril 15  has  passed.  The  pioneers 
have  been  selected,  or  to  put  it 
more  accurately,  have  volunteer 
ed  their  services,  as  the  first  loyal 
sons  of  the  New  Era 

No  IBM  machines  were  needed 
to  tabulate  applications  and  match 
aspirations;  there  was  room  for 
all  comers  and  then  some.  124 
applications  have  to  date  request- 
ed space  in  the  first  Williams  So- 
cial Unit,  consisting  of  Berkshire 
Hall,  the  New  Dorm,  and  the  new 
and  swank  dining  complex. 

D.  Gardner,  '57,  Standing  Com- 
mittee liaison  officer,  reported 
that  there  remained  20  openings 
in  the  unit,  the  projected  capacity 
of  which  is  144.  These  rooms  will 
be  made  available  to  the  regular 
room  draw  only  if  there  are  no 
more  additional  requests  for  ac- 
tual membership  in  the  Social 
Unit. 

Frosh   Most  Numerous 

The  Class  of  19G6  led  the  list 
of  applicants  with  44.  From  a 
class  of  approximately  300,  and 
taking  into  account  that  some  10- 
20  students  will  leave  school  be- 
fore next  year  for  various  reasons, 
there  remain  about  240  unac- 
counted-for freshmen.  Whether 
these  are  planning  to  storm  the 
faxious  fraternity  houses  next 
fall  or  become  rebels  from  the 
rebels  in  the  Non-affiliate  lounge 
is  a  matter  for  speculation.  The 
Class  of  1965  pledged  223  sopho- 


mores during  its  fall  rushing  per- 
iod,  while  58  became  NA's. 

The  Class  of  '65  added  43 
members  to  the  Social  Unit, 
trailing  the  frosh  by  only  one 
soul.  Of  these  43,  25  were  Non-Af- 
filiates this  year;  18  were  fra- 
ternity men.  Eight  of  these  will 
serve  as  Junior  Advisors  next 
year,  rooming  on  the  freshman 
quad,  and  eating  in  the  Unit. 

Depopulating  Frats 

37  members  of  the  Class  of 
1964  elected  to  join  the  Unit. 
These  included  11  present  NA's, 
25  Fraternity  members,  and  one 
fellow  for  whom  no-one  could 
seem  to  account.  Among  the  25 
Fratei-nity  men  were  numbered 
two  who  are  returning  to  Wil- 
liams after  a  leave  of  absence. 

It  was  notable  also  that  cer- 
tain of  the  fraternities  suffered 
greater  numerical  losses  than 
others.  Theta  Delta  Chi  and  Phi 
Sigma  Kappa  led  the  losers  with 
11  dropouts  each.  Sigma  Phi  had 
6,  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon  5,  Zeta 
Psi  4;  Beta  Theta  Pi  2,  and  Chi 
Psi  and  Delta  Phi  Upsilon  1  each. 
In  this  connection,  it  must  be  not- 
ed that  many  of  the  present  non- 
affiliate  group  are  only  recently 
dropouts   from   fraternities. 


Delta  Phi  Votes  To  Sponsor  Unit; 
Plan  Pending  Approval  Of  Trustees 


Glee  Club  Combines 
With  Vassar  To  Give 
Annual  Joint  Concert 

The  Williams  College  Glee 
Club,  Directed  by  Prof.  Robert  G. 
Barrow,  and  the  Vassar  College 
Glee  Club,  directed  by  Prof.  Al- 
bert van  Ackere,  will  present  a 
joint  concert  in  Chapin  Hall  this 
Saturday,  April  20,  at  8:30  p.m. 
Students  and  their  dates  will  be 
admitted  free. 

The  featured  work,  which  will 
be  sung  by  the  combined  group 
consisting  of  over  120  voices,  will 
be  the  complete  concert  version 
of  Dido  and  Aeneas  by  the 
famous  seventeenth  century  Eng- 
lish composer,  Henry  Purcell.  This 
is  one  of  the  most  famous  works 
in  the  history  of  opera,  and  it  is 
considered  the  greatest  of  all  ESig- 
lish  operas.  The  work  will  be  per- 
formed with  soloists  and  string  or- 
chestra. 

Continued  on  Page  3,  Col.   4 


By  the  margin  of  one  vote,  the 
brothers  of  Delta  Phi  Upsilon 
have  voted  to  advise  the  house 
trustees  to  sponsor  a  social  unit. 
Delta  Phi  is  the  first  house  to 
make  public  a  decision  of  this 
sort,  although  other  houses  have 
convened  with  similar  results.  All 
decisions  are  pending  approval  by 
the  trustees  of  the  respective 
houses. 

An  indication  of  feeling  at  Delta 
Phi  was  the  attempt  to  keep  the 
story  from  being  printed  in  the 
RECORD.  An  unidentified  caller 
told  the  paper  not  to  print  any 
story  because  the  house  was  "re- 
considering" the  matter,  a  state- 
ment which  was  subsequently 
denied  by  house  president  Lou 
Harvey  '64. 

In  advising  their  trustees,  the 
undergraduates  recognize  the  "ec- 
onomic pressures  that  will  come  to 


All  entries  for  the  Ameri- 
can Poet's  Prize  must  be  sub- 
mitted by  May  1.  This  prize  of 
$100  will  be  awarded  for  the 
best  poem,  or  collection  of 
poetry,  by  an  undergraduate. 
All  work  should  be  left  with 
William  Jay  Smith  in  Stetson 
library. 


Burns^  Governnient  Argue  Deadlock 

Professor  James  MacGregor  Burns  '39  and  his  book,  Dead- 
lock of  Deinocract/,  will  be  the  center  of  a  "Washington  Dead- 
lock" discussion  involving,  besides  Burns,  six  senators,  two  rep- 
resentatives, one  secretary  of  the  interior,  two  journalists,  and 
one  President.  The  program  will  be  broadcast  over  75  education- 
al stations  April  29. 

President  Kennedy  will  initiate  on  video  tape  the  discussion 
of  what  Burns,  chairman  of  the  Williams  Political  Science  De- 
partment, describes  as  "the  four-jwrty  deadlock"  situation  in  Con- 
giess.  The  polylogue  will  stick  mainly  to  the  present  congress- 
ional impasse,  with  historical  perspective  occasionally  brought 
ill  to  throw  light  upon  Burns'  analysis. 

Participants  include  Senatcns  (^arl  Mundt  (Indiana),  Ev- 
erett Dirksen  (iniiioritv  leader  from  Illinois).  (Clifford  Case  (New 
Jersey),  Joseph  Clark  (Pennsylvania),  and  Strom  Thurmond 
(South  (Carolina),  |)liis  Re|)resentatives  Richard  Boiling  (Mis- 
souri) and  Cierakl  Ford  (Michigan). 

Boscoe    Dnimmonil,    an    eminent   journalist    with    the    New 
^'ork  Herald  Tribmie,  and  William  S.  Whvle,  eohiiniiist  for  United 
Features  and  author  of  The  Toft  Sfori/,   will   add   another  per- 
spective. Secretary  of  the  Interior  Stewart  Udall  will  give  an  ad- 
ministration viewpoint. 
Stirs   Controversy 
Bums'  book   is  now  a  best-sell- 
er in   Washing-ton,  D.C.,  and  has 
stirred   controversy   over   the   role 
of  congress  and  the  parties.  Burns 
suggests    several   reforms   of  con- 
gress   and/or    the    party     system 
which  follow  from  his  analyses. 

The  program  will  bo  broadcast 
through  the  National  Educational 
Television  Network,  using  the  fa- 
cilities of  WRC-TV  in  Washing- 
ton, D.C.  Large  parts  of  the 
sound  track  were  pre-recorded  at 
the  WMS  studios  in  Williams- 
town,  and  the  college  station  will 
receive  a  plug  on  nation-wide  TV. 
Other  sections  of  the  program 
have  been  recorded  in  the  Senate 
and  House  recording  studios  in 
Washington,  D.  C. 

"Washington  Deadlock"  is  one 
of  a  series  of  programs  carried  by 
NET  called  "Perspectives".  Pro- 
duced by  Henry  Morgenthau  with 
the  cooperation  of  WGBH-TV  in 
Boston,  "Washington  Deadlock" 
will  only  be  carried  on  TV. 


WCC  Elects  Doughty  Chairman; 
Bishop  To  Be  V.  P.,  Farley  Sec.  Treas. 

The  Williams  College  Chapel  Board  elected  officers  for  the 
1963-64  season  at  Chaplain  Ensden's  home  Tuesday  night.  The 
new  board  will  contain:  Steve  Doughty  '64,  chairman;  Buss  Bisliop 
'64,  vice-chairman;  Vince  Farley  '0)4,  sec.-trea.s.;  Paul  Valliere  '65. 
deputations;  J.  H.  K.  Davis  II,  '65,  and  Scudder  Parker  '65,  pub- 
licity; and  Ed  Coaxum  and  Dick  Burghardt  '66,  special  events. 

Tlie  Chapel  Board,  the  organizational  branch  of  the  Wil- 
liams College  Chapel,  is  responsible  for  strengthening  the  Chris- 
tian witness  on  the  campus  through  the  cha|)el  and  outside  ac- 
tivities. 

The  old  board,  under  the 
chairmanship  of  George  Ren- 
wick  '63,  was  responsible  for  many 
new  innovations  and  the  success- 
ful survival  of  the  chapel  under 
its  first  "year  of  trial"  on  a  volun- 
tary basis.  Other  outgoing  mem- 
bers include  Phil  Reynolds  '63 
and  Bill  Rise  '64. 

Coffin  On  May  5 

Forthcoming  events  in  the 
chapel  include  the  appearances 
of  Yale's  popular  Judah  Goldin 
and  the  freedom-riding  Rev.  Wil- 
liam Sloan  Coffin,  Jr.,  former 
Chaplain  of  Williams.  Also  on  the 
agenda  is  the  spectacular  produc- 
tion of  "Noye's  Pludde"  featuring 
a  cast  of  hundreds. 


bear  on  the  fraternity"  as  a  re- 
sult of  the  college  implementation 
schedule,  which  plans  to  house 
and  feed  all  members  of  the  stu- 
dent body  by  the  fall  of  1964. 

The  statement  by  the  house  does 
contain  four  classes,  restricting 
the  manner  in  which  the  college 
can  operate  the  house.  The  firsts 
maintains  that  the  transfer  In- 
clude an  explicit  clause  that  the 
college  will  operate  the  house  "in 
the  same  manner  as  is  presently 
done  . . .  until  the  Class  of  1966 
shall  graduate." 

The  terms  also  stipulate  that  a 
memorial  scholarship  to  be  given 
each  year  and  that  the  house  be 
peiTOitted  to  rush  next  fall  "in 
the  usual  manner." 

The  final  clause  insists  on  the 
participation  of  the  house  offi- 
cers and  trustees  during  all  nego- 
tiations with  the  standing  com- 
mittee to  "assist  by  making  val- 
uable suggestions"  for  the  trans- 
fer. 

The  number  of  houses  ranges 
anywhere  from  ten,  according  to 
one  administration  source,  to  as 
low  as  three,  according  to  reports 
from  fraternity  row.  It  is  expected 
that  more  houses,  after  meeting 
with  their  trustees,  will  release 
similar  statements. 


Senior  class  elections  will 
take  place  Monday,  April  22  at 
7:30  in  Jesup  Hall.  Offices  that 
need  to  be  filled  arc:  Class  A- 
gent,  Class  Speaker,  Permanent 
Class  President,  Class  Secretary 
and  two  marshalls.  All  members 
of  the  Class  of  '63  are  requested 
to  attend,  said  Gordon  Davis, 
'63  acting  President  of  Gar- 
goyle. 


Latin  Film  Coining  ; 
Proposes  Alternative 
To  World  Communism 

The  film  "El  Condor,'"  written 
and  acted  by  revolutionary  Latin 
American  university  students,  will 
be  shown  in  Jesup  Hall  on  April 
25   at    8:00    P.M. 

The  Adelphic  Union  will  spon- 
sor the  film,  which  will  be  intro- 
duced by  Dr.  Douglas  Cornell,  Ex- 
ecutive Officer  of  the  National 
Academy  of  Sciences  in  Washing- 
ton, D.  C. 

Alternative  To  Communism 

Some  of  the  authors  and  actors 
of  "El  Condor"  took  part  in  Anti- 
American  demonstrations  at  San 
Marcos  University  in  Lima,  Peru, 
and  are  now  working  with  the 
world  force  of  Moral  Re-Arma- 
ment. 

The  film  will  present  what  the 
authors  now  feel  is  the  ideologi- 
cal alternative  to  Communism  in 
Latin  America.

peaceful  town  does  not  seem  to  be 
the  bleak  island  in  a  sea  of  pro- 
gressive civilization  that  it  once 
was.  The  bowing  out  of  Clark's 
five  and  dime  store  before  the 
flood  of  modernity  and  progress 
brings  with  it  another  reminder 
of  the  presence  of  the  changing 
scene. 

G.  R.  Clark's  business  at  50 
Spring  Street  has  been  a  part  of 
the  merchant's  quarter  for  eight 
years.  Now  It  is  closing,  as  did  its 
predecessor,  Horn's  variety  store, 
a  similar  enterprise.  The  pres- 
sures on  small,  retail  businesses 
are  becoming  Increasingly  disas- 
trous. 

Prior  to  the  occupancy  of   the 


site  by  the  Horn  business,  the 
building,  which  is  now  owned  by 
Louis  Rudnlck,  was  the  home  of 
Cabe  Prlngle's  pool,  billiard  and 
ice-cream  parlor.  This  establish- 
ment was  said  by  one  Spring 
Street  merchant  to  have  been 
patronized  by  "ninety-five  per 
cent  of  the  students  of  the  col- 
lege." The  student  union  pool 
room  seems  to  be  the  college's 
answer  to  this  distraction. 

Omnipresent  Business  Problems 

Mr.  Clark  said  that  he  is 
"throwing  In  the  sponge"  for  sev- 
eral reasons.  Two  of  the  primary 
reasons  cited  were  the  parking 
problem  around  the  Spring  Street 
area,  and  the  widespread  situa- 
tion developing  around  the  myriad 
of  chain-stores  which  are  taking 


the  business  away  from  inde- 
pendent retailers.  A  combination 
of  these  problems  is  hurting  a 
number  of  merchants  in  the  area, 
said  Clark. 

Clark,  who  has  been  in  the  re- 
tailing business  for  twenty  years, 
said  that  fifty  per  cent  of  business 
nowadays  is  done  in  the  evening, 
and  on  Spring  Street  what  park- 
ing space  exists  is  taken  up  by 
patrons  of  the  movie  theater  a- 
cross  the  street.  No-one  on  the 
"street"  seems  to  be  doing  much 
business  in  the  evening,  according 
to  Clark,  but  he  Is  doing  less.

iness operation  beside  the  dls- 
cotmt  houses  and  the  buyer's  read-

Anti-Semitism  Topic  Of  Discussion ; 
Rouse,  Waite,  Spivey  Hold  Forth 

Tuesday  evening  in  Grifliii  Hall  an  interested  audience  listen- 
ed as  tlnce  Williams  Professors  jjrobed  the  causes  and  human 
effects  of  anti-Semitism.  The  three  were  Prof,  of  Psychology  Ri- 
chard House,  Prof,  of  Ilistorv  Hobert  I-.  Waite,  and  Prof,  of  Re- 
ligion liobert  Spivey. 

Rouse  bej^an  the  discussion  by  posing  some  {|uestions  about 
the  anti-Semite  himself.  lU'sults  of  psycholoji;ical  tests  show,  lie 
said,  .some  interesting  facets  of  the  man  with  a  |)rejndice. 

Olten  such  iieople  are  more  than  commonly  frustrated,  he 
noted,  and  their  level  of  education  low.  "His  prejudice  is  often  to 
get  rid  of  his  hostility,  and  through  it  he  finds  a  safe  object  of 
discharge."  Moie  often  than  not  the  anti-Semite  shows  signs  of 
rigid,  social-conformist  patterns  of  behavior,  but  at  the  same  time 
has  "some  confusion  of  who  he  is— an  identity  diffusion  problem." 
He  is  a  thwarted  failure  at  coping  witii  himself  or  the  world. 

Prof.  Waite  turned  to  the  problem  of  Adolph  Hitler  and  the 
wellsprinf^s  of  bis  anti-Semitic  madness.  Hitler,  he  said,  can  be 
viewed  as  "niass-man  Incarnate,"  a  man  with  a  serious  confusion 


of  identity,  "incapable  of  holding 
a  friendship,"  who  projected  a 
world  conspiracy  onto  the  Jews, 
and  an  adolescent  dreamer  who 
never  grew  up.  "This  is  the  strik- 
ing thing  about  Hitler,"  he  con- 
tinued, "After  the  age  of  16  he 
stopped    growing." 

Waite  went  on  to  note  some 
of  the  events  from  Hitler's  past 
which  could  account  for  his 
strange  and  terrible  obsession.  He 
explained,  for  instance,  Hitler's 
desperate  fear  that  he  might  In 
fact  be  part  Jewish  himself,  "an 
absolutely   intolerable   possibility." 

Spivey,  considering  the  reli- 
gious aspect  of  anti-Semitism, 
began  by  drawing  a  line  between 
"anti-Jewishness"  and  Its  more 
vicious  cousin,  the  anti-Semitism 
of  the  20th  century.  The  Jew  has 
long  been  oppressed,  he  said,  but 
the  motive  until  our  own  time 
was  conversion.  But  in  our  era 
utter  destruction  became  the 
driving  anti-Jewish  force. 

He  suggests  that  modern  anti- 
Semitism  reveals  something  of 
the  Christian's  ambivalence  to- 
ward his  own  faith,  a  gnawing 
dissatisfaction  with  the  Church 
which  he  has  to  remove.  The  an- 
xiety of  this  discontented  civiliza- 
tion resolves  itself  on  the  scape- 
goat Jew,  who  thus  must  be  des- 
troyed, he  went  on.  "This,"  Spivey 
said,  "is  a  symptom  of  a  funda- 
mental disease  in  our  civilization,'' 
an  anxiety  which  relieves  itself 
through  indifference  and  brutal 
inhumanity.  "It  is  also  the  most 
vivid  indication  that  we  are  a- 
fraid  to  face  ourselves."

nearby  towns,  were  high  rent  and 
overhead.  Clark  said  the  time  in- 
volved in  running  the  slowly  de- 
caying business  -  does  not  seem 
merited  by  the  lack  of  profit  he 
has  suffered  over  the  last  three 
years.  "A  man  can't  run  a  bus- 
iness while  waiting  for  Septem- 
ber'' when  the  incoming  student 
body  causes  a  great  turnover. 

Impending   Doom 

Progress  is  soon  to  show  itself  in 
a  more  obvious  manner  further 
along  Spring  Street.  Peter  P.  Wel- 
anetz,  the  buildings  and  grounds 
head,  said  that  destruction  of  the 
Square  Deal  store  should  com- 
mence within  the  next  week.  It 
has  been  delayed  pending  the  re- 
turn of  two  liquor  license  trans- 
fers from  the  ABC  board  in  Bos- 
ton. 

Plans  for  the  area  include  the 
planting  of  grass  and  trees,  the 
"dressing  up"  of  the  wall  of  the 
News  Room,  which  is  to  remain 
standing,  and  the  widening  of  the 
driveway  to  the  garage  behind 
the  building.  Welanetz  said  t  h  e 
building   "will  come    down   fast." 


Hirsche   Talks  On  Dots 


H.   LEE  HIRSCHE  speaks  a 
By  Steve  Gillispie 

Professor  H.  Lee  Hirsche,  as- 
sistant professor  of  art,  spoke  at 
the  Student  Union  Luncheon 
Wednesday  on  "Problems  of  the 
Dot."  The  purpose  of  his  lecture 
was  to  show  some  of  the  many 
problems  involved  in  creation. 

The  artist,  explained  Professor 
Hirsche,  has  two  main  problems: 
that  of  "limiting  himself"  and 
"choosing  what  to  do."  The  full 
Implication  of  these  difficulties 
was  made  clear  with  his  addition 
that  "the  simplest  possible  thing 
has  unlimited  possibilities."  To  il- 
lustrate his  statement.  Professor 
Hirsche  introduced  the  dot,  "the 
simplest  basic  unit  of  art." 

The  dot  is  especially  useful  In 
illustrating  the  myriad  complexi- 
ties of  creation  because  it  Is  one 
dimensional.  It  has  no  direction 
and  no  axis.  With  cards  upon 
which  various  combinations  of 
dot  or  groups  of  dots  could  be 
(riven  dimension  and  movement. 


t  art  lecture  on  The  Dot. 
'Movement  Of  A  Dot' 

The  movement  of  a  dot  depends 
upon  its  relation  to  the  center  of 
its  milieu.  Slightly  off  center,  it 
demands  movement  toward  the 
center;  if  near  the  edge,  it  seeks 
to  move  away  from  the  center. 
Consequently,  with  only  a  dot  the 
artist  can  achieve  an  effect  of 
unrest,  irresolution,  and  confu- 
sion or  of  peace  and  stability. 

The  relationship  of  the  form  and 
Its  matrix,  furthermore,  has  two 
possibilities.  These  Prof.  Hirsche 
labeled  as  the  "hard  edge"  and  the 
"soft  edge."  With  the  hard  edge, 
the  object  stands  in  direct  re- 
lief to  Its  environment.  Using  the 
soft  edge  the  artist  may  effect  a 
more  subtle  blending  of  foi-rn  and 
environment.  It  is  upon  these  re- 
lationships that  much  of  modern 
art  is  based,  concluded  Professor 
Hirsche,  for  it  is  often  the  pur- 
pose of  abstract  art  to  reproduce 
the  relationship  of  the  art  object 
to   Its  environment. 


Letter   To   The  Editor 

Chapel  'Desecration' 
Attacked  By  Student 
As  Unfit  For  Campus 

To  the  Editor: 

We  have  all  read  about  Mr. 
Oliver  Cromwell  and  how  nasty 
he  was  in  desecrating  a  great 
number  of  churches  in  England. 
Strange  that  we  should  all  be  so 
shocked  at  what  he  did  and  yet 
go  on  ignoring  the  same  process 
of  desecration  which  is  so  well 
under  way  here  on  our  own  cam- 
pus. 

Cromwell  removed  the  altars 
and  stabled  his  horses  in  the 
choir  stalls.  We  have  removed  our 
altar  and  done  worse  things  to 
the  stalls.  Where  Cromwell  stab- 
led his  horses  we  have  given  free 
reign  to  a  group  of  irresponsible 
atheists.  And,  whatever  may  have 
gone  on  under  Cromwell,  at  least 
he  had  the  decency  to  plaster 
over  the  walls  and  Iward  up  the 
windows  so  that  it  would  not  have 
to  go  on  under  the  open  eyes  of 
the  saints. 

What  is  being  done  in  plain 
view  of  the  saints  and  founders  of 
our  great  religious  traditions  in 
our  Williams  College  Chapel, 
would  be  more  suited  to  the 
mouth  of  a  sewer. 

Yours  with  outrage,

Tennis,  which  began  last  fall,  has 
reached  the  semi-final  stage 
which  will  see  Chi  Psi  play  K.  A. 
and  D.  U.  face  Beta.  The  ping 
pong  title  is  worth  five  points, 
while  the  tennis  champions  will 
garner  fifteen. 

The  volleyball  competition  is 
reaching  a  close.  On  Tuesday,  K. 
A.  and  Phi  Gam,  both  undefeated, 
met  to  decide  the  winner  of  the 
only  one  of  the  four  volleyball 
leagues  in  question.  K,  A.  emerg- 
ed the  victor  by  a  2-0  score.  The 
winners  of  the  other  three  leagues 
were  Chi  Psi,  Phi  Sig,  and  Beta. 
In  Wednesday's  semi-finals,  K.  A. 
defeated  Phi  Sig,  while  Beta 
downed  Chi  Psi.  Thus  Phi  Sig 
and  Chi  Psi  both  gain  13  points, 
wliile  Phi  Gam  and  D.  U.  both 
finish  second  in  their  respective 
leagues,  D.  U.  in  a  tie.  Beta  has 
a  big  chance  to  pick  up  ground 
with  a  20  point  win. 
Intramural  Previews 
The  spring  section  of  the  in- 
tramural schedule  opened  Wednes- 
day with  the  first  round  of  soft- 
ball  games.  Like  volleyball,  the 
Softball  comp>etition  is  played  in 
four  leagues,  and  the  winner  re- 
ceives twenty  points. 

April  24  will  see  the  beginning 
of  the  golf  matches,  and  trials  for 
the  track  meet  will  be  on  May  7. 

It  can  be  seen  from  the  stand- 
ings of  the  teams  that  intramural 
participation  and  enthusiasm  a- 
mong  the  freshmen  and  the  non- 
affiliates,  the  largest  social  group 
on  campus,  have  been  disappoint- 
ing this  year.  It  is  hoped  that  the 
spring  will  bring  a  renewed  cam- 
pus-wide interest  in  the  intramur- 
al program  which  is  designed  to 
offer  the  non-varsity  athlete  a 
chance  to  compete  and  have  fun. 

Quinlan  Given  Grant 
By  Rockefeller  Bros. 

Holt  Quinlan  '63  has  been  a- 
warded  a  Rockefeller  Brothers 
Theological  Fellowship  for  a 
year's  graduate  study  in  theology. 
Quinlan  plans  to  use  this  fellow- 
ship, which  covers  tuition  and  ex- 
penses, at  Harvard  Divinity 
School. 

Williams  has  had  a  winner  in 
each  of  the  last  two  years'  com- 
petition. Rik  Warch  '61  is  at  Yale 
Divinity  School,  although  he  is 
taking  his  second  year  of  study 
at  the  University  of  Edinburgh. 
John  Ferguson  '62  is  attending 
the  Harvard  Divinity  School. 

The  fellowship  is  maintained  by 
the  Rockefellers  to  allow  college 
seniors  the  opjwrtunity  to  ex- 
plore the  ministry,  but  accep- 
tance of  this  fellowship  does  not 
obligate  the  student  to  enter  the 
ministry.

Playing  in  the  No.  1  position, 
KUborn  was  superb  for  this  time 
of  year  and  copped  low  medal 
with  a  74.  Kilborn  toppled  Har- 
vard's Abrams  2  and  1  while  4 
aad  2  over  B.  C.'s  StiUworlh. 

Klug,   Greenlee    Also    Win  Two 

Junior  Tom  Klug  shot  a  steady 
but  unspectacular  80  to  edge 
Harvard's  Milton  2  up  and  B.C.'s 
Keough  2  up.  Klug's  competitive 
ability  and  inherent  golfmanshlp 
give  opponents  a  decided  handi- 
cap in  match  play. 

Dick  Greenlee  shot  a  steady  39 
going  out  and  returned  even 
stronger  to  earn  a  2  and  1  win 
over  Harvard  and  a  3  and  2  win 
over  B.C.  Ted  Ebberts  bowed  to 
Harvard's  Tagur  but  managed  to 
salvage  a  triumph  over  B.C.'s 
Lynch. 

Swatting  in  fifth  position,  John 
Poehl  encountered  Harvard's 
medalist  for  the  day.  Bowing  to 
Seelert,  who  shot  a  78,  4  and  3, 
Poehl  managed  a  5  and  4  win 
over  Carr  of  B.C. 

Nye's   Win    Decisive 

Callege  Champ  Larry  Alexan- 
der lost  2  and  1  to  Harvard's  Ol- 
son despite  a  brilliant  36  on  the 
opening  nine.  Alexander  did  over- 
come his  putting  troubles  on  the 
back  nine  well  enough  to  triumph 
4  and  2  over  Boston's  MacEtonald. 
Roger  Nye  belted  his  way  to  im- 
portant wins  2  and  1  over  Har- 
vard and  5  and  3  over  B.C.  in  the 
seventh  position. 

The  victory  over  Harvard  was 
sweet  revenge  for  Coach  Baxter's 
forces,  as  the  Crimson  were  only 
one  of  two  teams  to  mar  a  per- 
fect season  for  Williams  last  year. 


Batsmen  Open  With  10-1  Win, 
Donovan  Pitches  3-Hitter 


htf  Steve  Robinson 
Middlebury's  baseball  team  fell  victim  to  the  slashing  Enh 
batsmen  last  Monday  by  a  10-1  margin.  John  Donovan  started  the 


season  in  fine  fashion  with  a 
three-hitter.  Two  of  them  sup- 
plied the  Panthers'  only  run  in 
the   first   inning. 

The  Williams  well-balanced  at- 
tack was  not  nearly  so  anemic, 
producing  at  least  one  safety  in 
each  spot  in  the  batting  order  ex- 
cept for  the  pitcher's.  Ben  Wagner, 
the  first  baseman,  was  the  slug- 
ging leader  with  two  hits  (double 
and  triple),  and  three  BBI's. 

Rick  Berry,  hitting  leadoff  at 
shortstop,  also  had  two  hits  in- 
cluding a  two-bagger,  and  Don 
Drott  in  right  field  banged  out  a 


triple  drive  in  a  run 

Donovan  Invincible 

On  the  Middlebury  side,  Apfel 
and  Rapp,  the  centerfielder  and 
second  baseman,  hit  safely  in  the 
first  inning  for  their  sole  tally. 
Thereafter,  Donovan  was  invinci- 
ble with  the  exception  of  Catcher 
McKay's   single. 

The  lopsided  victory  was  Wil- 
liams' 29th  over  Middlebury  a- 
gainst  four  losses  since  1901.  The 
Ephs  are  looking  forward  to  their 
encounter  with  Colby  on  Thm-s- 
day  -  the  game  was  snowed  out 
last  year.

Ephs'  Holme  Places 
Up  In  NCAA  Diving 

Performing  superbly,  senior 
nick  Holme  earned  an  excellent 
15th  place  in  a  field  of  the  na- 
tions best  divers  at  the  NCAA 
Swimming  Champion.ships  held  at 
North  Carolina  State  at  Raleigh, 
N.C.,  on  April  1-2. 

Runner-up  in  the  New  Englands 
this  year.  Holme's  diligence  paid 
off  as  he  finished  far  ahead  of 
New  England  champ  Duncan  Mc- 
Dougall  of  Amherst.  Although  not 
qualifying  for  the  finals,  the  top

larly outstanding  in  the  half- 
twist  which  was  rated  third  best 
overall. 


Kent  Defeats  Freshman  Tennis,  5-4 ; 
Ephs  Promising  In  Losing  Cause 


The  frosh  tennis  team  started 
their  season  Wednesday  by  losing 
a  close  5-4  match  to  Kent.  As  the 
team  is  touted  as  possibly  one  of 
the  best  in  recent  years,  this  could 
possibly  be  considered  a  disap- 
pointing start  for  the  fledglings. 

In  the  first  singles,  Tom  Thorn- 
hill  lost  a  close  match  to  Kent 
stalwart  Mike  Brooks.  Tom  did, 
however,  display  a  sizzling  serve 
and  good  all-around  play,  which 
will  pay  off  in  future  matches 
Pete  Allen,  playing  in  second  sing- 
les had  trouble  with  his  backhand 
and  lost  7-5,  6-0.  Bill  Ewen  in 
number  3  showed  a  steady  game 
to  romp  6-0,  6-0.  However,  play-

ing  a  weak  opponent,  Doug 
Schwab  could  not  force  the  game 
and  finally  lost  the  third  set,  6-2. 
Steve  Atlas  won  easily  in  number 
5,  6-2,  6-4,  and  Bob  Milclioll 
playing  number  6  also  succumbed 
6-4,   6-3. 

In  the  doubles,  the  Ephlets 
showed  good  potential  but  could 
win  only  two  of  three.  In  the  best 
match  of  the  day,  Tom  Thornhill 
and  Steve  Atlas  lost  in  three,  6-4, 
5-7,  6-1.  Allen  and  Uwen  teamed 
up  in  number  2  to  triumpli  6-2. 
6-3  while  Rog  Ruckman  and 
Schwab  took  the  third  doubles. 

Several  members  attributed  the 
team's  loss  to  poor  general  play- 
ing, the  result  of  a  lack  of  prac- 
tice due  to  court  and  weather  con- 
ditions.

Eph  Cyclists  Hosting 
3d  Invitational  Race 


The  third  Williams  Invitational 
bicycle  race  will  be  held  tomor- 
row. 

The  race  will  be  approximately 
thirty-five  miles  long,  starting  on 
South  Street  and  going  to  South 
WllUamstown,  north  on  Route  7 
to  the  Taconic  Trail,  up  the  four- 
mile  hill  over  Petersburg  pass, 
then  north  on  Route  22  and  back 
through  the  Pownal  Valley  and 
Route  7,  ending  on  Main  Street 
in  front  of  Chi  Psi.  The  race  is 
scheduled  to  start  at  11:00  A.M. 
and  should  finish  between  12:30 
and  1:00  P.M. 

Williams  will  face  tough  com- 
petition from  Princeton,  the  cur- 
rent intercollegiate  national  cham- 
pions, and  Dartmouth,  one  of 
whose  men  won  the  36  mile  race 
at  Princeton  last  Sunday.  Yale  i.s 
also  entered  in  the  Williams  race 
and  will  be  a  force  to  reckon  with. 

Between  these  teams  and  a  few 
independent  riders  there  ought  to 
be  from  twenty  to  thirty  cyclisUs 
competing  tomorrow.  Williams  has 
been  training  over  the  route  with 
emphasis  on  Petersburg  pass  and 
counts  its  familiarity  with  the  hill 
as  a  major  psychological  and  phy- 
sical advantage.

Colgate  Inducts  Barnett 


Vincent  MacDowoU  Barnett  Jr. 
was  formally  inducted  as  the 
tenth  president  of  Colgate  Uni- 
versity Friday  in  Hamilton,  N.Y. 
amid  the  pomp  and  ceremony  wor- 
thy of  the  144  year  old  liberal  arts 
university. 

In  his  opening  remarks.  Dr. 
Barnett  pledged  himself  to  "try  to 
discharge  this  task  with  humility 
but  not  with  ba,shfulness,  with 
concern  but  not  with  worry,  with 
tranquility  but  not  with  compla- 
cency, with  serious  determination 
but  not  with  nervous  anxiety." 

Baxter  Receives  Degree 

More  than  200  collegiate  repre- 
sentatives including  fifty  college 
presidents  took  part  in  the  cere- 
mony at  the  William  A.  Reid  Ath- 
letic Center  on  the  campus.  Five 
honorary  degrees  were  confer- 
red to  distinguished  Americans  in 
the  ceremony;  both  James  Phin- 
ney  Baxter,  president  emeritus  of 
Williams,  and  Nathan  Pusey,  pres- 
ident of  Harvard,  received  the  de- 
gree of  Doctor  of  Humane  Letters. 

President  Barnett,  outlined  the 
goals  of  a  liberal  education  and 
discassed  Colgate's  future  role  in 
higher  education  in  his  speech. 
A  liberal  ecluc.ition  should  free  the 
individual  "from  both  geographi- 
cal and  temporal  provincialism". 
Dr.  Barnett  also  added  "The  fib- 
erally  educated  man  is  concerned 
not    only    with    yesterday's  prob- 


Ross  M.  Barnett  In 

lems,  but  with  tomorrow's."  Dr. 
Barnett  was  also  concerned  with 
the  now  problems  of  curriculimi, 
admission  standards  and  the 
working  atmosphere  of  the  col- 
lege.

Richard  III  At  AMT  May  9,  W,  U; 
Wood  Lockhart  To  Play  Title  Role 


By  David  Corwin 

Medievalism  will  stalk  the 
main  stage  of  the  Adams  Mem- 
orial Tlieatre  May  9,  10,  11;  Di- 
rector John  J.  von  Szeliski  is  ac- 
celerating the  pace  of  rehearsal 
for  his  over  fifty  actors  to  wring 
out  "all  the  excitement  inherent 
in  one  of  the  most  vivid  and 
theatrical  of  Shakespeare's  his- 
torical plays  -  Richard  HI.'' 

Wood  Lockhart  will  lead  a  four- 
some of  seniors  making  their  AMT 
swan  songs  in  key  roles.  The  ex- 
president  of  Cap  and  Bells  will 
hold  forth  as  Richard  while  Jan 
Berlage  as  King  Edward,  Clark 
Hobbic  as  Hastings,  and  Dick  Ber- 
ger  as  Clarence  will  tred  the 
boards  at  Williams  for  the  last 
time. 

Junior  Jon  Spelman  will  portray 
Richard's  Nemesis  the  Earl  of 
Richmond,  and  sophomores  John 
Sundstrom  (Buckingham)  and 
Phil  McKnight  (Hastings)  fill  out 
the  leads.  Belle  Boch  and  Anne 
Andersen  will  play  Queens  Mar- 
garet and  Elizabeth,  and  Louise 
Ober  '64  will  make  her  AMT  de- 
but as  Lady  Anne. 

Rita  Bottomley  of  New  York  will 
handle  the  show's  costumes.  The 


only  other  "outside"  help  will 
come  from  Jim  Johnson  '64,  who 
is  writing  the  incidental  and  bat- 
tle scene  music  for  the  produc- 
tion. 

Director  Speaks 

Von  Szeliski  outlined  the  show's 
main  objective  as  bringing  out  the 
actual  and  political  battle  around 
Richard  as  the  unifying  figure. 
"We  will  try  to  establish  realism 
as  much  as  possible  within  the 
limits  of  quickly  shifting  scenes 
and  the  poetic  illusion.  The  pro- 
duction is  a  monumental  portrait 
of  the  late  medieval  character 
stressing  its  ambition  and  concept 
of  government  and  war." 

"Richard  is  one  of  the  first 
hero-villains  of  the  theatre.  A 
few  sympathetic  elements  in  his 
character  must  be  brought  out, 
but,  above  all,  a  credible  balance 
through  psychological  motivation 
must  be  maintained." 

Asked  how  the  approach  of  this 
production  differed  from  The 
Lark,  which  is  set  in  the  same 
period,  von  Szeliski  replied,  "The 
Larlt  is  a  flashback,  a  smaller, 
confined  illusion.  Richard  will  be 
as  large  as  the  poetry  and  the 
scojje  of  action." 


Police  Cooperation  in  Sludenf  Reiponiibility  drive  is  exemplified  by  recent 
re-erection  of  twice-stolen,  once-found  barrier  posts  on  edge  of  Sophoniore

commented  Chief  of  Police,  Peter  Gilheiser. 


ducted  At  Colgate 

Charter;  it  was  the  main  cere- 
mony in  the  inauguration.  Dr. 
Barnett  also  received  the  Colgate 
Key  from  'Everett  Case,  former 
president  of  Colgate  and  now  pres- 
ident of  the  Alfred  P.  Sloan  Foun- 
dation. The  key,  a  symbol  of  his 
office,  has  been  passed  from  pres- 
ident to  president  at  inaugurals 
since  1868. 


Latin  American  Film 
Presents  Alternative 
To  Ideological  Fight 

What  can  the  ordinary  college 
and  university  student  do  to  ef- 
fect the  basic  ideological  struggle 
between  East  and  West  today? 

Dr.  Douglass  Cornell,  Executive 
Officer  of  the  National  Academy 
of  Sciences  in  Washington,  D.  C, 
will  deal  with  this  issue  Thurs- 
day, April  25  at  8:00  P.M.  in 
Jesup  Hall.  He  will  be  sponsored 
by  the  Adelphic  Union  and  the 
Bennington  College  Student  Meet- 
ings Committee. 

Cornell  will  introduce  a  film, 
"El  Condor,"  written  and  present- 
ed by  students  from  several  Latin 
American  universities.  It  deals 
with  the  struggle  for  control  in  a 
university,  corruption  in  high 
places  in  government,  and  a  pow- 
dered milk  scandal  which  involves 
a  fact-finding  commission  from 
the  United  States.  It  presents  an 
alternative  to  the  "Pidelisrao''  of 
Cuba  and  the  selfishness  of  a  cap- 
italist society,  the  authors  feel. 

Nixon  Rioters 

Some  of  the  authors  of  the  film 
took  part  in  demonstrations  a- 
gainst  Vice-President  Nixon  when 
he  visited  Peru.  The  plot  resulted 
from  an  encounter  in  Peru  be- 
tween San  Marcos  students  and 
an  international  force  of  Moral 
Re-Armament  with  a  Japanese 
students'  play  "The  Tiger." 

"El  Condor"  was  first  written 
as  a  play  last  year,  which  reached 
six  million  people  through  tel- 
evision in  major  Brazilian  cities. 
It  was  produced  as  a  film  last 
August  by  Moral  Re-Armament 
on  Mackinac  Island,  Mich. 

The  play  itself  is  currently  in 
Italy  showing  at  the  invitation  of 
political,  church,  and  business 
leaders  there. 

Elnrique  Tamashiro,  an  econo- 
mics student  at  San  Marcos  and 
one  of  the  authors,  described  the 
motivation  behind  the  film:  "We 
faced  the  reality  about  Latin  A- 
mcrica  and  about  ourselves.  We 
realized  the  problem  is  neither 
Communism  nor  capitalism.  It  is

469  Gain  Admission 
After  final  Selection 

by  Tim  Lull 

Lettcr.s  of  admission  to  the  Williams  Clas.s  of  1967  were  mail- 
ed to  469  applicants  on  April  13,  according  to  Philip  K.  Smith 
'56,  -A.s.sistant  Director  of  Admissions.  This  j^roup  was  selected 
from  a  list  of  1598  who  completed  the  admissions  procedure  this 
year. 

Smith  noted  tiiat  final  applications  wert;  u|)  more  than  ten 
per  cent  from  the  1418  of  last  year.  The  nninher  1598  was  exactly 
the  same  as  those  applyinji;  to  Amherst  this  year.  Over  2760  com- 
pleted preliminary  applications.  Last  year  460  letters  of  acceptance 

were   mailed. 


Haystack  Receipt 
Doubles  '62  Total 

This  year's  Haystack  Fund 
Drive,  which  comes  to  an  end  this 
week,  has  been  highly  successful 
in  its  attempt  to  raise  more  funds 
than  in  the  pa.st.  Bill  Rose  '64,  co- 
chairman  of  the  Drive  with  Jack 
Langang  '64,  stated  that  he  ex- 
pects the  totals  to  "go  over  last 
year's  by  quite  a  bit."  Last  year's 
drive  yielded  about  $1000;  projec- 
ted totals  for  the  1963  drive  may 
top   the  $2000  mark. 

The  Haystack  Fund,  which  re- 
ceives ah  of  its  financial  support 
on  campus,  pays  room,  board  and 
personal  expense  charges  for  stu- 
dents from  underdeveloped  na- 
tions on  College-paid  tuition 
scholarships. 

Next  year,  the  Fund  hopes  to 
bring  to  Williams  tliree  or  even 
four  more  students.  Already  ac- 
cepted is  Ibsen  Chen,  a  biology 
student  at  the  New  Asia  College 
in  Hong  Kong;  second  in  Une  is 
a  Guatemalan  student  now  in  the 
United  States.  "Outstanding  ap- 
plications" have  been  received 
from  students  from  Turkey,  Iran 
and  Ghana,  with  a  "very  interest- 
ing prospect"  from  Afghanistan. 


"We're  planning  for  a  class  of 
300",  explained  Smith,  who  went 
on  to  describe  the  difficulties  in 
estimating  the  exact  number  that 
needed  to  be  accepted  to  guaran- 
tee a  class  of  that  .size.  "If  we 
have  more,  we're  in  trouble  as  far 
as  housing  goes,"  he  noted,  "but 
if  the  number  is  below  300,  there's 
no  problem  at  all." 

He  ix)inted  out  that  all  those 
who  had  applied  only  to  Williams 
could  be  expected  to  come,  as 
could  those  who  listed  Williams 
as  their  first  choice.  "After  that," 
he  stated,  "we  have  to  rely  heav- 
ily on  past  experience." 

Ten  Per  Cent  Plan 

The  number  of  people  accepted 
under  the  ten  per  cent  plan  has 
been  calculated  in  such  a  way  to 
see  that  about  30  will  become 
members  of  the  Class  of  '67.  "We 
are  pretty  sure  that  most  of  them 
will  come,"  he  asserted. 

When  asked  why  Amherst  need- 
ed to  accept  fewer  than  400  to  get 
a  class  of  300,  Smith  explained 
that  it  was  because  of  a  differ- 
ence in  the  way  that  early  ac- 
ceptances are  handled.  "We  don't 
force  anyone  to  commit  himself 
until  the  Candidates  Reply  Date 
(which  is  standard  for  most  of  the 
Eastern  Colleges).  As  a  result  we 
aren't  as  certain  who  will  come." 
Smith  noted  that  Amherst  on  the

Yale's  President  Whitney  Griswold 
Dies;  Spokesman  For  Liberal  Arts 


By  John  D.  Rawls 

Alfred  Whitney  Griswold,  16th 
president  of  Yale  University,  died 
of  cancer  at  his  campus  home  in 
New  Haven  last  Friday.  The  56 
year  old  educator  was  released 
only  recently  from  a  hospital. 

Pi'esident  Griswold  was  known 
in  the  academic  and  public  worlds 
as  a  sterling  administrator  and 
staunch  spokesman  for  the  liberal 
arts.  A  scholar  of  divergent  in- 
terests and  a  fascinating  teacher, 
he  was  highly  popular  with  the 
undergraduates. 

One  of  the  youngest  men  ever 
to  become  a  full  professor  or  pres- 
ident at  Yale,  he  was  appointed 
head  of  the  university  in  1950. 
In  a  dozen  years  he  increased  the 
endowment  fund  from  $125  mil- 
lion to  $375  million.  As  an  as- 
sistant professor  of  history  he 
stamped  the  menus  at  Mory's 
with  the  slogan:  "Raise  Faculty 
Salaries."  As  president  he  doubled 
the  faculty  pay  scale  and  gathered 
one  of  the  world's  great  faculties 
at   New  Haven. 

In  the  eras  of  McCarthy  ism. 
Sputnik,  and  the  "loyalty  oath" 
of  the  National  Defense  Education 
Act,  Griswold  stressed  the  impor- 
tance of  the  liberal  arts  and  free- 
dom of  thought.  Said  he:  "A  na- 
tion that  cannot  trust  its  intel- 
lectuals   cannot    trust    itself." 

Addressing  President  Sawyer  at 
the  latter's  inaugvraition  In  1961, 
he  said:  "The  times  call  for  bold- 
ness and  innovation.  Mlg:ht  not 
the  boldest  Hiin;  we  could  do, 
the  greateat  educational  innova- 
tion of  all.  be  to  lift  the  bushel 
under  which  we  have  been  hiding 
the  Ufht  of  lit>eral  education  and 
reveal  its  true  power  to  its  pos- 
sessors?'' 


Whitney  Griswold 
Late  President  of  Yale 

At  that  time  he  was  presented 
the  following  citation:  ALFRED 
WHITNEY  GRISWOLD:  Presi- 
dent of  Yale  University,  Doctor 
of  Laws. 

Teacher  and  scholar  of  excep- 
tional range,  leader  of  a  great 
institution,  writer  whose  books  we 
read  for  knowledge,  brilliance,  and 
delight,  you  have  refreshed  our 
vision  of  a  University  and  become 
the  foremost  current  voice  of  a

Rights  Committee  Sponsors  Letter 
Protesting  Birmingham  Segregation 

hij  Marc  Chaniey 

An  open  letter  expressing  sympathy  for  current  Negro  efforts  to 
achieve  desegregation  in  Birmingham,  Alabama  was  sent  yesterday 
to  the  newly-elected  mayor  of  that  city,  Albert  Boutwell,  by  a  large 
group  of  Williams  undergraduates  and  faculty  members. 

The  letter,  which  also  protested  the  jailing  of  the  Rev.  Dr.  Mar- 
tin Luther  King  and  over  100  other  Negroes  involved  in  recent  demon- 
strations, was  signed  by  well  over  100  students  and  teachers,  in  the 
hope  of  encouraging  a  more  progressive  attitude  toward  race  rela- 
tions by  the  incoming  city  administration.  Its  full  text  is  printed 
below.  JjJl 

Segregation  Protested 

Birmingham,  economically  frustrated  and  strictly  segregated  was 
the  scene  last  week  of  racial  tensions  that  flared  into  violence  after 
repeated  attempts  by  the  Birmingham  police  to  curb  integrationist 
picketing  and  sit-ins.  The  demonstrations,  organized  and  led  by  the 
Rev.  Dr.  King,  and  by  the  Rev.  Dr.  Ralph  Abernathy,  ended  consist- 
ently with  mass  arrests,  organized  and  led  by  old  Birmingham  "Safe- 
ty Commissioner"  T.  Eugene  "Bull"  Connor.  Charges  included  parad- 
ing without  a  permit  and  failure  to  obey  an  injunction  forbidding 
such  demonstrations.  Both  Dr.  King  and  Dr.  Abernathy  were  among 
those  jailed.  The  demonstrations  are  continuing  under  the  direction 
of  Dr.  King's  brother,  the  Rev.  A.  E.  King. 

New  Mayor  Lifts  Hopes 

Recent  electoral  events  in  Birmingham,  however,  have  encouraged 
hopes  that  the  Williams  letter  will  be  more  than  a  futile  gesture 
of  sympathy  and  protest.  Last  month,  the  city's  voters  decided  to 
change  the  basic  structure  of  the  government,  at  the  same  time 
sleeting  Boutwell,  expected  to  be  a  moderate,  as  the  new  mayor.  His 
administration  replaces  the  old  City  Council,  headed  by  Arthur 
Hanes,  which  the  New  York  Times  called  "openly  and  loudly  segre- 
gationist." 

Boutwell,  who  took  office  on  April  16,  has  not  yet  committed 
himself  on  the  racial  issue,  but  is  expected  to  be  able  to  alleviate 
the  conflicts  within  the  city.  In  the  past  he  has  shown  a  willingness 
to  compromise,  and  Negro  votes  were  critical  both  in  his  election, 
and  in  passage  of  the  referendum  changing  Birmingham's  city  char- 
ter. His  ability  to  act  quickly,  however,  is  at  present  impaired  by 
Hanes'  refusal  to  vacate  City  Hall  until  his  term  "expires"  in  1965. 
An  eviction  suit,  expected  to  be  successful,  is  now  pending. 

The  Williams  letter  was  drafted  and  circulated  late  last  week  by 
the  Williams  Civil  Rights  Committee  as  an  independent  statement 
by  the  Williams  Community  of  its  support  for  the  efforts  of  the 
Birmingham  Negroes.  Copies  were  sent  to  President  Kennedy  and  to 
the  Attorney  General,  as  well  as  to  local  and  New  York  City  news- 
papers, and  to  four  prominent  civil-rights  organizations.  The  letter's 
requests  mirrored  closely  the  demands  voiced  by  the  protesting 
marchers  as  a  step  toward  granting  equal  rights  and  opportunities 
to  Birmingham's  sizable  Negro  population. 

Text    Of    Alabama   Letter 

Mayor  Albert  Boutwell 
Birmingham,  Alabama 
Dear  Mayor  Boutwell, 

As  students  and  teachers  disturbed  by  the  recent  manifes- 
tations of  lawlessness  and  injustice  in  Birmingham,  we  submit 
to  you  our  desire  that  the  newly-invested  municipal  administration 
act  in  good  faith  to  improve  race  relations  in  your  city.  We  spe- 
cifically urge  you  to  honor  the  requests  of  the  Negro  community 
by  facilitating  the  integration  of  lunch-counters,  department  stores 
and  schools;  by  reopening  the  city's  playgrounds  and  parks  on 
a  desegregatea  basis;  by  initiating  fair  hiring  practices  in  the 
stores  and  city  departments;  and  by  establishing  a  bi-racial  com- 
mittee for  the  purpose  of  undertaking  responsible  negotiation  and 
direction  of  a  program  of  genuine  desegregation. 

Moreover,  we  contend  that  the  arrest  and  imprisonment  of 
the  Reverend  Dr.  Martin  Luther  King,  Jr.,  the  Reverend  Dr.  Ral)5h 
Abernathy,  and  other  Negroes  protesting  segregation  practices  in 
Birmingham  was  an  infraction  of  the  constitutional  guarantees  of 
free  speech  and  assembly,  as  well  as  an  affront  to  conscience. 

We  are  hopeful  that  you  and  the  city  council  will  bring  a 
halt  to  the  deterioration  of  law  and  order  that  has  occurred  in 
the  last  week;  and  that  you  will  encourage,  by  your  actions  as 
well  as  your  intentions,  tne  growth  of  a  reasonable  and  progres- 
sive attitude  toward  the  problem  of  race  relations  in  Birmingham.

Prof.  Anson  Piper,  chairman  of 
the  Romance  Language  De- 
partment, will  undertake  a  Pul- 
bright  lectureship  in  the  state  of 
Sao  Paolo,  Brazil.  August  1  -  Dec- 
ember 15  and  study  Brazilian  lit- 
erature later  in  his  sabbatical 
leave  during  liie  coming  academic 
year. 

At  the  universities  of  Sao  Paulo, 
Marilla,  Assis,  and  Araraquara, 
Piper  will  deliver  a  series  of  ten 
lectures  on  American  art  and  ar- 
chitecture. This  will  be  the  first 
time  that  the  series,  prepared  by 
Prof.  William  Pierson  of  the  Art 
Department  under  the  auspices  of 


the  Carnegie  Foundation,  will  be 
given  outside  the  United  States  in 
the  language  of  the  host  country. 

Piper,  who  emphasized  that  he 
is  no  art  expert  but  rather  a 
translator  and  adaptor,  was  rec- 
ommended to  the  Department  of 
State  as  a  Portuguese-speaking  A- 


the    latter's    series   of   slides   will 
form  the  backbone  of  the  lueture.s 

After  the  Brazilian  equivalent 
of  our  second  semester  is  over 
Piper  will  delve  into  material  that 
presumably  could  form  thi,'  ba.si.s 
of  a  Latin  American  area  studies

D.  Phi  Reverses 
Position,  Defeats 
Social  Unit  Move 


To  the  Editor: 

On  Thursday  evening,  April  18, 
1963,  the  undergraduate  members 
af  the  Delta  Phi  Upsilon  frater- 
nity met  to  reconsider  the  motion 
passed  the  week  before  which  rec- 
ommended to  the  alumni  to  trans- 
fer the  property  of  the  fraternity 
to  the  college  and  sponsor  a  social 
unit.  The  strength  of  our  desire 
to  reconsider  our  recommendation 
to  siwnsor  a  social  unit  rested  on 
the  facts  that  the  success  of  the 
Berkshire  New  Dorm  social  unit 
can  at  best  only  be  termed  medi- 
ocre and  that  this  failure  brings 
unpleasant  associations  with  a  fra- 
ternity sponsored  unit,  in  t  li  e 
minds  of  many  undergraduates. 
Another  factor  was  the  adminis- 
tration's disappointing  inability  or 
unwillingness  to  give  clearcut, 
concise  answers  without  "hedg- 
ing", at  the  graduate  committee's 
meeting  in  New  York  this  week. 
There  were  other  considerations 
and  new  information  which  had 
come  to  light  which  cannot  be  re- 
vealed at  this  time.  All  these  fac- 
tors combined  and  the  brothers 
vigorously  defeated  the  recom- 
mendation that  the  Alumni  Direc- 
tors transfer  the  property  to  the 
College  and  sponsor  a  social  unit 
at  this  time,  the  same  motion  that 
the  week  before  was  grudgingly 
passed.

Read  Calls  For  Humanized  Gospel 


In  a  chapel  sermon  on  Sunday 
night,  Reverend  David  H.  C.  Read 
called  upon  Christianity  to  con- 
sider Jesus  Christ  as  the  "man 
behind  the  myth". 

Reverend  Read,  minister  of  the 
Madison  Avenue  Presbyterian 
Church  in  New  York  City,  acli- 
nowledged  the  current  tendency  to 
"demythologlze"  the  Gospel,  sep- 
arating the  "kernel  of  meaning 
from  the  husk  of  foolishness".  He 
asserted  that  such  a  trend  Is  not 
new.  and  has  appeared  sporadi- 
cally thi-oughout  the  history  of 
the  Gospel. 

Modernist  Movement 

The  most  recent  previous  ap- 
pearance of  this  attempt  to  de- 
mythologlze the  Gospel  occurred 
at  the  beginning  of  the  20th  cen- 
tury in  the  form  of  the  "Modernist 
Movement".  Within  this  move- 
ment, an  attempt  was  made  to  in- 
terpret the  Gospel  in  a  purely 
metaphorical  sense.  For  example, 
the  resurrection  was  considered  as 
a  "triumph  of  life  over  darkness", 
wliether  or  not  Christ  rose  was 
Irrelevant.  According  to  Reverend 
Read,  "this  movement  proved  in- 
adequate to  express  and  preserve 
the  content  of  the  Christian  Gos- 
pel." 

Draw  the  Line 

Speaking  of  the  contemp>orary 
attempt    to    "demythologlze"    the 


by  Arthur  M.  Sleeper 


Gospel,  Read  recognized  much 
benefit  to  be  gained  both  from 
ridding  the  faith  of  unnecessary 
dogma  and  from  encouraging  a 
deeper  study  of  the  real  meaning 
of  the  scriptures.  On  the  other 
hand  he  feared  the  excesses  of  the 
"Modernist  Movement"  whose 
metaphorical  interpretation  of  the 
scriptures  destroyed  the  human 
element.  The  question,  he  asserted, 
is  where  to  draw  the  line  between 
dogma  on  the  one  side,  and  blood- 
less abstraction  on  the  other. 

Criteria 

To  answer  this  question.  Read 
appealed  to  the  occurrence  of 
Jesus  as  an  historical  fact,  whose 
authenticity  is  unanimously  ver- 
ified by  the  apostles.  Unlike  the 
story  of  Jonah  and  the  whale, 
which  is  to  be  taken  on  meta- 
phorical grounds,  the  appearance 
of  Christ  as  a  man  is  a  living 
reality,  a  testimony  that  a  "real 
living  God  has  done  something  in 
our  world".  The  distinction  is  sim- 
ilar to  the  distinction  between  the 
moralized  legend  of  George  Wash- 
ington and  the  apple  tree;  and 
the  historical  reality  of  the  war 
of  1812.  The  major  critei-ia,  for 
demythologizing.  Read  asserted,  is 
that  we  consider  Jesus  Christ  as 
a  real  human,  "that  we  behold  the 
man"  and  his  living  presence.

It's  not  as  bad  as  it  seems. 
My  idea  is  to  find  out  the  name 
of  the  employment  manager 
at  the  company  I'm  interested 
in.  Write  him  a  letter  telling  him 
my  qualifications.  Spell  out  ray

I'm  not  the  president,

5.  A  letter  to  the  employment  manager! 
Ho  ho  ho!  You've  a  lot  lo  learn. 

Then  how  come  I  landed  a 
great  job  at  Equitable— 
an  executive  training  spot 
that's  interesting,  pays 
a  good  salary  and  has  a  lot 
of  promise  for  the  future.

"The  philosophy  department  has 
come  to  life  recently — I  hope  it 
will  last.  I  think  we  offer  some- 
thing significant",  commented 
Sami  Najm,  instructor  of  philoso- 
phy at  Williams,  who  is  leaving 
the  United  States  in  June  for 
Canada. 

Najm,  who  pronounces  his  name 
"Nejjlm",  explained  that  the  new 
excitement  that  pervades  the  Wil- 
liams philosophy  department  is  a 
"quite  understandable"  reaction  to 
the  slow  intellectual  pace  of  the 
college.  In  the  so-called  New 
Williams,  "the  department  has  a 
vital  role  to  play  and  is  playing 
it".  This  year  registration  for  the 
philosophy  major  leaped  to  17 
students,  a  750  per  cent  increase 
over  the  two  registered  last  year. 

Najm  was  born  in  Lebanon, 
where  he  developed  the  substance 
of  his  interest  in  philosophy  in 
high  school.  In  his  freshman  year 
at  the  American  University  of 
Beirut  came  the  "shock  of  rec- 
ognition" -  "I  was  seduced;  it 
was  rape"  -  which  culminated  in 
his  devotion  to  philosophy. 

He  came  to  the  United  States 
in  1956  as  a  "foreign  scholar" 
at  Wesleyan,  and  went  from  there 
to  graduate  school  at  Yale.  He 
joined  the  Williams  faculty  in 
September  '61  as  a  part-time  in- 
structor, where  he  completed  the 
requirements  for  his  Ph.D. 

Classified  as  an  "exchange  vis- 
itor" by  the  government,  Najm  is 
required  to  leave  the  country  for 


two  years  since  he  has  completed 
his  educational  program.  He  em- 
phasized that  "my  will  agrees  with 
the  law",  for,  although  "the  at- 
tractions of  life  in  the  United 
States  are  many",  his  primary  re- 
sponsibility is  to  serve  his  own 
country. 

He  is  not  going  back  to  Leban- 
on, however,  because  "all  the  po- 
sitions are  taken  by  Americans". 
Instead  he  has  taken  a  position 
as  assistant  professor  of  phil- 
Oiiophy  at  McMaster  University  in 
Hamilton,  Ontario,  where  he  will 
teach  ethics,  contemporary  analy- 
tic philosophy,  and  philosophy  of 
religion. 

Najm  commented  that,  al- 
though like  most  philosophers  he 
has  had  extensive  training  in  all 
fields,  his  primary  interest  lies  in 
the  theory  of  value,  the  subject 
of   his  doctoral   thesis. 

Commitment  to  Welfare 

Asked  for  his  impressions  of  the 
American  students,  Najm  observed 
that,  although  students  in  the 
United  States  do  more  work  than 
Lebanese  students,  "students  here 
seem  to  be  more  committed  to 
their  own  welfare  than  any  cause 
or  principle".  In  the  Middle  East 
in  general,  students  are  more  pol- 
itically involved;  "in  that  respect, 
they're  questioning  more."  He 
finds  Lebanese  students  better  in- 
formed on  international  affairs. 
"Otherwise  they  have  the  same 
problems  -  women,  professors,  and 
cars." 


Najm  stated  that,  in  compari- 
son with  Williams,  "I  found  Wes- 
leyan more  intellectually  alive". 
The  Williams  student  is  "more 
rounded,  still  In  between";  he  is 
less  likely  to  go  all-out  and  de- 
vote himself  to  intellectual  ac- 
tivity. 

Nonetheless,  in  the  two  years 
that  he  has  been  here  Najm  has 
noticed  a  quickening  of  tempo,  an 
awakening,  "an  atmosphere  of 
questioning"  that  has  descended 
on  the  Purple  Valley.  Students  are 
more  occupied  with  problems,  and 
the  community  in  general  is  mak- 
ing "attempts  to  vary  the  rhythm" 
of  inquiry.  All  this  is  "indicative 
perhaps  of  a  New  Williams.  Un- 
believable, but  true." 

Najm  has  three  major  criticisms 
of  WiUiams  students  which  he 
feels  still  apply:  they  are  disor- 
ganized in  their  work,  uncritical 
and  receptive  more  than  question- 
ing, and  too  utilitarian  and  prog- 
matic  in  their  attitudes  toward 
courses.  However,  they're  "gener- 
ally kind,  and  willing  to  examine 
points  -  but  not  in  class." 

Passion 

"American  students  could  use  a 
little  more  passion  in  their  lives", 
Najm  added.  This  "really  amounts 
to  the  same  thing  as  individual- 
ity, originality,  creativity,  commit- 
ment. I  think  somehow  existence 
assumes  more  meaning  that  way." 

Najm  thought  a  moment,  and 
added,  "I  don't  have  any  children, 
and  I'm  not  married."

DeMott  Blasts  Inarticulate  Heroes 
As  Proof  Of  Moderns'  Abnegation 


Why  do  people  distrust  oratory? 
This  was  the  issue  explored  by 
Professor  Benjamin  DeMott,  pro- 
fessor of  English  at  Amherst,  In  a 
Jesup  Hall  lecture  last  Thursday 
evening. 

In  "The  Passionate  Mutes"  De- 
Mott cited  literary,  social  and 
political  evidence  that  modern 
times  had  inspired  an  association 
of  glib  tongue  with  evil  and  "pas- 
sionate silence"  with  the  Kood  in 
man. 


Benjamin   DeMott 

Salinger's  Silence 

He  took  as  his  texts  Salinger, 
Dostoyevsky,  and  Melville.  In 
Raise  High  the  Roof  Beam,  Car- 
penters, Salinger  has  his  hero  say 
that  "a  truly  honest  man"  would 
have  spoken  the  Gettysburg  Ad- 
dress by  "Shaking  his  fist  at  his 
audience,"  and  that's  all. 

Likewise,  he  noted  how  in  the 
powerful  scene  with  the  Grand 
Inquisitor  in  the  Brothers'  Kara- 
mazov,  the  Christ  figure  hero  re- 
plies to  his  accusations  with  a 
silent  kiss.  And  in  Melville's  Bil- 
ly Budd,  Billy  stands  silent  be- 
fore his  accuser. 

Why,  asked  DeMott,  should  elo- 
quence be  associated  with  evil? 

Revulsion  at  Revolution 

The  answer  probably  lies  in  sev- 
eral causes.  First,  the  French  rev- 
olution, which  promised  so  much 
so  eloquently,  failed  lio  fulfill  its 
promises  and  brought  in  its  stead 
disillusion.  Our  age  is  the  spiritual 
heir  of  that  era. 

Second,  the  expanding  horizons 
of  modern  science  have  tended 
to  make  the  language  available 
for  oratory  inadequate  -  hence 
the  attempts  to  create  a  language 
equal  to  the  complex  task  of  com- 
munication in  a  complex  time  - 
the  use  of  slang  and  profanity. 


Admissions  . .  . 

Continued  from   Page    1,  Col.    S 

Other  hand  requires  applicants  to 
accept  or  reject  early  acceptance 
as  soon  as  it  is  offered. 

Smith  explained  that  no  detail- 
ed information  on  the  Class  would 
be  available  until  after  May  1 
when  its  exact  composition  would 
be  known.  He  did  offer,  however, 
to  make  several  predictions  on  the 
basis  of  the  preliminary  group. 

More  From  South  and  West 

"We'll  continue  to  get  more  boys 
from  the  South  and  the  Far 
West,"  he  noted.  This  is  a  trend 
that  can  be  seen  in  all  the  East- 
ern schools  and  is  in  part  a  re- 
sult of  active  alumni  groups  which 
have  been  directing  boys  in  west- 
ern and  southern  cities  toward 
Williams. 

The  public  high  school  -  private 
school  balance  of  60-40  should  re- 
main about  the  same.  Smith 
pointed  out,  however,  that  many 
of  those  included  on  the  private 
school  side  had  attended  country 
day  schools,  especially  In  cities  in 
the  Midwest,  West,  and  South. 

"We  accepted  53  sons  of  alum- 
ni,'' Smith  stated,  "but  not  all  of 
them  will  come."  This  factor  also 
does  not  vary  much  from  one 
class  to  another. 


Hope  and  Responsibility 

But,  said  DeMott,  not  all  of 
modern  man  is  tongue-tied.  Field- 
ing, one  of  the  protagnists  in  Por- 
ster's  Passage  To  India,  is  far 
from  inarticulate  -  in  fact  he  is 
quite  the  opposite. 

What  is  disturbing  about  the 
low  place  of  eloquence  is  it  marks 
an  abnegation  of  responsibility. 
By  talking  to  an  audience,  as  Lin- 
coin  did  in  1863,  a  speaker  in- 
volves himself  in  a  situation,  and 
assumes  partial  blame  or  credit 
for  it. 

Those  who  would  shake  their 
fist.s  in  silence  try  to  avoid  such 
invalvement. 

Though  a  speech's  vocabulary 
m  ly  b?.  outworn,  and  its  message 
familiar,  a  speaker  can  by  sincer- 
ity and  conviction  create  a  feeling 
of  power  where  none  before 
existed,  and  infuse  old  words  with 
new  meaning. 

And,  said  DeMott,  here  is  where 
the  hope  lies.

ed his  B.A.  from  Williams  in  1956. 
He  took  his  M.A.  at  the  University 
of  Minnesota  the  following  year, 
and  last  month  completed  his  Ph.

Sweep  Four  Singles 

Hord  Armstrong,  Prank  Thayer, 
Pete  Monroe,  and  Henry  Lum  then 
took  the  remaining  four  singles 
matches  to  insure  the  Williams 
victory.  Armstrong  and  Monroe 
won  in  straight  sets,  Monroe  turn- 
ing in  the  most  lopsided  score  of 
the  day  in  limiting  his  opponent 
Wliitbeck  to  two  games. 

In  the  anti-climactic  doubles 
matches,  Goddard  and  Luetke- 
meyer.  and  Armstrong  and  Lum 
teamed  up  to  provide  Eph  vic- 
tories, while  Monroe  and  Thayer 
dropped   their   contest. 

Edge  M.I.T. 

Yesterday  the  racqueteers  were 
scheduled  to  play  Dartmouth  in 
what  should  be  a  tough  contest. 
The  squad,  lacking  depth  over  last 
year's  team,  squeaked  by  peren- 
nially weak  M.I.T.  in  the  season's 
first  match,  5-4.  Last  year's  score 
was  7-2.

Frosh  Lacrosse  Bows 
To  Mt.  Hermon  8-7 

The  frosh  lacrosse  team's  open- 
ing contest  of  the  year  saw  them 
fall  victim  of  a  close  game  at  the 
hands  of  Mount  Hermon,  8-7. 

The  contest  was  tight  all  the 
way,  as  Williams  jumped  out  to 
its  only  lead  of  the  day  on  a  goal 
by  Ed  Booth  at  6:01  of  the  first 
period. 

The  prep  school  opponents  then 
scored  twice  before  Budge  Upton 
knotted  the  count  2-2  late  In  the 
opening  stanza. 

The  second  stanza  saw  Mt.  Her- 
mon go  ahead  4-3,  as  Ralph 
Bankes,  who  also  had  four  as- 
sists, scored  the  only  goal  for  the 
frosh. 

Goals  by  Upton  and  Graham 
Cole  tied  the  score  5-5  at  the  end 
of  period  three.  Mount  Hermon 
then  scored  three  times  in  the 
first  five  minutes  of  the  closing 
period  to  wrap  up  the  game. 

Goals  by  Cole  and  Jay  Gold- 
smith brought  the  Ephlets  within 
one,  but  the  game  ended  before 
they  could  score  again.

Three  Williams  runs  followed 
an  error  in  the  4th  inning,  which 
also  included  two  walks  and  two 
singles.  Colby  iced  the  game  in 
the  first  two  innings  with  four 
in  the  first  on  three  singles,  and 
three  in  the  second  on  an  error 
and  four  hits. 

Lum  Leads  Batters 

Harry  Lum  led  Eph  batters  with 
two  hits  and  two  runs-batted  in. 
Eton  Drott  batted  in  two  more 
with  his  single  in  the  fourth,  and 
they  about  sum  up  the  Williams 
attack. 

Colby  heroes  were  Waldman, 
who  liad  a  near-perfect  day  at  the 
plate  with  four  for  four,  a  double, 
triple,  and  tliree  rbi's.  Glennan 
and  Bonalewicz  went  two  for 
three. 

John  Bose,  for  whom  Coach 
Coombs  has  high  hopes  had  con- 
trol trouble  at  the  start  and  was 
victimized  for  a  good  portion  of 
the  damage. 

Polar  Bears  Rally 

Against  Bowdoin  the  next  day, 
the  Ephs  jumped  off  to  an  early 
three-run  lead,  but  the  persistent 
Bowdoin  batters  bunched  seven 
singles  in  the  fourth  and  fifth 
innings  to  amass  their  five-run  to- 
tal. 

John  Donovan,  star  of  the  Wil- 
liams mound  staff,  was  as  effec- 
tive as  usual  except  for  this  brief 
period,  allowing  only  nine  hits 
overall.  Nicolai,  the  Bowdoin  hurl- 
er,  was  hit  more  easily  by  the 
Ephs,  but  managed  to  scatter  ten 
hits  for  a  minimum  of  damage. 

Lum  Again  Stars 

As  usual,  the  batting  star  was 
catcher  Harry  Lum.  He  lilt  safe- 
ly three  times  in  five  at-bats  to 
raise  his  season  average  to  an  im- 
pressive  .545.  Ben  Wagner   (.359) 


and  George  Mayer  (.300)  each  hit 
twice,  and  Don  Drott  (.375)  also 
continued  ills  hitting  streak.  Lum 
is  also  the  team  leader  in  hits 
(6)    and   RBI's    i4). 

The  Ephs  take  to  the  road  for 
three  games  at  Dartmouth,  Wes- 
leyan,  and  Trinity  before  the  next 
Weston  field  contest  on  May  1 
against  Union.

The  varsity  lacrosse  team  drop- 
ped its  second  decision  against  one 
win  as  Colgate  defeated  the  Ephs 
for  the  first  time  in  the  two 
teams'  history. 

Annison  Nets  Four 

The  contest,  played  Saturday  at 
Colgate,  found  Williams  on  the 
short  end  of  a  7-5  score,  despite 
a  fourth  period  comeback  and  the 
consistently  strong  play  of  attack- 
man  Mike  Annison.  Annison.  who 
had  four  goals  against  the  Bos- 
ton Lacrosse  Club,  led  all  scorers 
in  the  Colgate  game  with  four 
more  goals. 

Colgate  Takes  Lead 

The  first  period  saw  Colgate 
jump  off  to  a  2-0  lead  before  the 
Ephs  could  score.  Midfielder  Bill 
Conde  scored  the  first  of  his  two 
goals  at  1:49.  Nearly  ten  scoreless 
minutes  were  ended  when  Bill  Mc- 
Lean scored  the  Raiders'  second 
goal  at  11:41. 

Williams  finally  broke  the  ice 
at  13:46  when  Annison  scored  the 
first  of  his  three  straight  unas- 
sisted goals. 

Raiders  Increase  Margin 

The  second  period  liftd  hardly 
begun  when  middie  Mike  Jukoski 
scored  the  first  of  the  Raiders' 
four  goals  in  this  period.  Conte 
and  Craig  Beeney  also  scored  be- 
fore Annison  finally  found  the 
range  for  Williams  at  9:52.  Andy 
Warner  scored  the  last  goal  of 
the  half  for  Colgate  at  12:35  on  a 
pass  from  Karl  Maggard. 

Eph  Defense  Stiffens 

The  Eph  defense  came  to  life 
in  the  second  half,  and  after  Mc- 
Clean  had  scored  his  second  goal 
of  the  afternoon  at  1:40  of  the 
third  period,  the  Red  Raiders  were 
held  scoreless  for  the  remaining 
28  minutes  of  tlie  game. 


With  Colgate  leading  7-2  at  this 
point,  Williams  made  a  valiant  ef- 
fort to  come  from  behind.  An" 
nison  scored  once  in  the  third 
period,  and  again  at  6:48  in  Uie 
final  period  on  a  pass  from  Ron 
Ranes.  Twelve  seconds  latei'  Art 
Wheelock  upped  the  Eph  .score  to 
five  with  an  unassisted  goal,  but 
Williams  could  not  muster  a  score 
in   the  last  eight  minutes. 

Engle   Makes   Ten   Saves 

Both  teams  took  about  the  same 
number  of  shots.  Williams  goalie 
Rob  Engle  came  up  with  10  saves 
while  Tom  Gurney,  his  Colgate 
counterpart,  made  11. 

Yale  Game  Today 

Today  the  stickmen  meet  Yale 
on  Cole  Field  in  what  should  prove 
the  toughest  contest  of  the  year 
Last  year  the  Elis  trounced  the 
Ephs  12-5,  and  Williams  has  de- 
feated Yale  only  twice  in  fifteen 
previous  meetings. 


Klug  Leads  Golfers; 
Kilborn  Turns  In  77 

Trinity  and  M.I.T.  were  the  .sec- 
ond duo  to  fall  before  the  Wll- 
Uams  varsity  golf  team  in  as 
many  triangular  meets. 

Depth  Plus  Klug 

Superior  depth  and  the  playing 
of  number  two  man  Tom  Klug 
were  the  decisive  factors  a.s  the 
Ephs  downed  both  opponents  by 
4-3  scores. 

Nye  and  Greenlee 

Klug,  who  turned  in  an  18-holc 
total  of  79,  trounced  both  oppon- 
ents by  decisive  scores  of  8  and  6. 
and  4  and  3,  Roger  Nye  and  Dick 
Gi-eenlee,  playing  in  the  sixth  and 
seventh  .slots,  each  bested  both  of 
their  opponents.  Greenlee's  match 
went  down  to  the  wire  as  he  won 
2  and  1.  and  2  up. 

Kilborn  Shoots  77 

Captain  George  Kilborn,  who 
turned  in  the  top  score  of  77,  split 
ills  matches,  as  did  number  four 
man  John  Foehl.  Ted  Ebberts  and 
Larry  Alexander,  at  numbers  three 
and  five,  dropped  both  of  their 
matches,  so  that  Williams  trailed 
both  M.I.T.  and  Trinity  3-2  until 
Nye  and  Greenlee  came  through 
to  secure  the  margin  of  victory. 

The  team's  next  match  is  a- 
gainst  A.I.C.  and  Springfield  here 
tomorrow. 


"Tareyton's  Dual  Filter  in  duas  partes  divisa  est!" 

says  Marius  (The  Profile)  LucuUus,  star  actor  of  the  Players  Roraani.  "Gaudeamus,"  he  declaims, 
"at  long  last  here's  a  filter  cigarette  with  flavor  bono  -de  gustihus  you  never  thought  you'd  get  from 
any  filter  cigarette.  Ave  Tkreyton!"

Cyclists  Take  Fourth; 
Princeton    Is   First 

Princeton  took  first  place  in  the 
third  Williams  Invitational  bicycle 
race  last  Saturday,  while  Williams 
riders  finished  ninth,  eleventh 
sixteenth  and  seventeenth  to  give 
the  home  team  fourth  place. 

Princeton's  AUis  Is  First 

John  AUis  of  Princeton  was  first 
to  finish  with  a  time  of  one  hour, 
thirty  nine  minutes  and  ten  sec- 
onds for  the  thirty-five  mile 
course.  Dan  Dimancescu  of  Dart- 
mouth and  Oscar  Swann  of 
Princeton  finished  fractions  of  a 
second  later.  Williams'  first  man 
was  Jim  Caldwell  in  ninth  place. 

Freight  Train  Delay 

Spectators  waited  a  long  time 
after  the  tenth  man  to  finish 
without  seeing  any  more  racers. 
Finally  Walt  Jones  of  Williams 
sprinted  in  at  the  head  of  a  pack 
of  four  riders. 

He  explained  that  the  group  had 
been  delayed  for  five  minutes  by  a 
freight  train  on  Route  346.  As 
they  had  been  far  behind  the 
tenth  man,  they  probably  would 
not  have  caught  him. 


Freshmen  Lose  Golf; 
Burrows   Cards   78 

The  freshman  golf  team  made 
its  debut  Saturday  against  Exeter 
and  came  out  on  the  wrong  end  of 
a  4-3   score   in  a  tight  match. 

Burrows  Shoots  78 

Gene  Peterson,  Jim  Anderson, 
and  Mike  Burrows  bested  their  op- 
ponents for  the  three  frosh  wins. 
and  Burrows  turned  in  the  low 
score  of  the  afternoon  with  a 
standout  78. 

Bob  Cunningham  in  the  seventh 
stot  barely  lost  his  match  1  down 
in  the  deciding  contest. 


Brooks  Leaves  Williams  For  India  Post

Dean    R.   R.   R.   Brooks  receives    Indian  appointment 


Robert  R.  R.  Brooks,  dean  of  the 
college  and  Orrin  Sage  Professor 
of  Economics,  has  been  granted  a 
two-year  leave  of  absence  to  al- 
low him  to  accept  an  appointment 
as  cultural  attache  to  the  United 
States  Embassy  in  New  Delhi,  In- 
dia. Brooks'  leave  will  begin  on 
July  1,  and  will  last  until  July  1, 
1965. 

No  successor  to  Brooks  as  dean 
has  yet  been  announced. 

The  appointment  is  the  result  of 
a  furious  two  weeks  of  briefing 
and  clearance  tests  in  Washing- 
ton, a  period  which  Brooks  said 
was  as  "intense  as  anything  on 
the  Cluett  Tour,"  during  which  he 
annually  tours  with  the  students 
to  interview  prospective  appli- 
cants. 

Brooks  will  rejoin  Chester  A. 
Bowles  in  India,  Bowles  assuming 
the    ambassadorship    in    August. 


Bowles  and  Brooks  first  met  in 
1937  and  worked  together  from 
1941-1946  in  tlie  Office  of  Price 
Administration.  Brooks  said  that 
the  two  have  seen  each  other  at 
least  twice  a  year  since  ihcy  work- 
ed together. 

Many  Duties 

As  the  cultural  attache.  Brooks 
will  be  responsible  for  a  variety 
of  programs,  including  Pullbright 
exchanges,  supervision  of  Ameri- 
can libraries  in  India,  translation 
and  publication  of  American 
books,  university  programs  and 
exchange  programs  with  the  Uni- 
ted States,  and  representing  the 
ambassador  at  educational  affairs. 
Brooks  said  that  he  would  be  re- 
quired to  do  a  good  deal  of  en- 
tertaining as  well. 

Bi-ooks  noted  that,  after  having 
been  in  education  for  the  battel' 
part  of  his  life,  he  felt  he  would 


be  able  to  arrange  exchange  pro- 
grams of  professors.  His  daughter 
and  son-in-law  were  Fullbright 
scholars  to  India  at  one  point,  so 
Bi-ooks,  although  he  has  never 
been  to  India,  is  not  wholly  un- 
familiar with  the  country. 

Brooks  graduated  from  Wesley- 
an  University  in  1926  with  honors 
in  economics.  He  was  a  member 
of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  and  the  cap- 
tain of  the  swimming  team.  After 
graduation,  he  attended  Oxford 
University  as  a  Rhodes  Scholar 
and  received  his  Ph.D.  In  1935  at 
Yale   University. 

He  was  an  instructor  of  econ- 
omics at  Wesleyan  from  1929  to 
1932  and  in  industrial  relations 
Yale  from  1931  to  1937  and  fovmd- 
ed  the  New  Haven  Labor  School. 
He  came  to  Williams  as  an  as- 
sistant professor  of  economics  in

SC  Modifies  Old  Rushing  Agreement ; 
Plans  Higher  Quota  For  Fall  Period 

by  George  Fournier 

The  15  fraternity  pre.sident.s  compri.siiig  tlie  Social  Council, 
ill  their  nieetint;  Monday  night,  pa.s.scd  two  important  measures 
eoiiceniiiig  tlie  immediate  future  of  the  fraternity  system  at  Wil- 
liams. 

After  a  lengthy  debate,  a  12-2  majority  ( witli  one  abstention ) 
passed  a  measure  raising  the  rushing  quota  to  either  an  arbitrary 
inaxinnim  of  18  rushees  per  house,  or  a  maximum  determined  by 
the  hitherto  standard  method  of  determining  the  quota,  whichever 
is  greater.  The  quota  has  been  determined  in  the  past  by  simply 
dividing  the  number  of  rushees  by  the  number  of  houses. 

The  second  measure  which  was  passed  allows  the  fraternities 
to  initiate  into  regular  membership  all  of  their  current  social 
members  who  wish  to  be  initiated.  By  the  former  practice,  these 
could  not  have  been  initiated  un- 


til next  fall. 

If,  for  example,  under  the  first 
measure,  225  member*  of  the  class 
of  '66  decided  to  rush,  and  all  15 
houses  participate  in  rushing  next 
fall,  the  old  quota  would  have 
been  a  maximum  of  15  pledges  per 
house. 

The  new  system,  by  setting  the 
quota  at  18,  would  allow  certain 
houses  to  acquire  more  pledges 
than  other  houses. 

In  the  extreme,  this  would  mean 
that,  again  supposing  225  sopho- 
mores  were  'to    rush,    12   houses

J  As   For   1963-64 

The  Class  of  1963  elected  of- 
ficers on  Monday  night.  April  22, 
at  a  mass  meeting  in  Jesup  Hall. 
The  meeting  was  characterized  by 
unusually  high  attendance  and 
uncharacteristic    vehemence. 

Jim  Blume  was  elected  perman- 
ent President,  and  Alan  Sclosser 
was  chosen  to  serve  as  perman- 
ent Secretary.  Prank  Lloyd  was 
selected  to  be  Cla.5s  Day  Speaker, 
while  Joseph  DiClerico  and  Gary 
Kirk  were   elected   Marshals. 

Blume  has  previously  served  the 

class   as   President  of    the    Social 

Council.    He    is    also    the    former 

I  Senior  Closs   President  Jomes   Blume   President  of  Kappa  Alpha,  and  a 

member   of   Gargoyle. 


John  TuU  '65  and  John  Wheel- 
er '65  have  been  elected  president 
and  vice-president  of  the  Junior 
Advisors  for  1963-64.  They  were 
chosen  at  a  meeting  last  week 
which  also  included  room  drawing 
for    the    next  year. 

The  officers  are  expected  to  ser- 
ve   as  spokesmen  for   the  group, 
and  to  deal  with  the  administra- 
tion.  The    president  sets  up    the  j 
Freshman    Council   in     the     fall,' 
while  the  vice-president  serves  as] 
social  chairman  for  the  incoming  j 
class. 


Harvev  Clarifies  D  Phi  Position 


By   Alan  Fincke 

In  an  interview  with  the  Record, 
Lew  Hai-vey,  president  of  Delta 
Phi,  clarified  the  letter  he  wrote 
concerning  his  fraternity's  rec- 
ent reversal  of  their  previous  de- 
cision to  form  a  social  unit. 

Harvey  explained  that  three 
main  factors  prompted  his  frater- 
nity to  reverse  the  motion.  First 
was  the  "mediocre"  response  of 
the  Williams  community  in  gen- 
eral and  the  class  of  1966  in  par- 
ticular to  the  social  units. 


Little  Picked  As  New  Chairman 
Of  German  Department  At  Tufts

"The  brothers  were  of  the  opin- 
ion that  a  college  owned  fratern- 
ity would  not  be  too  popular  in 
next  year's  rushing,"  Harvey  com- 
mented. Although  the  D  Phi  presi- 
dent himself  did  not  see  the  neces- 
sary connection  between  the  lack 
of  acceptance  of  the  social  units 
and  the  expected  'unpopularity  of 
a  college  owned  fraternity,  he  said 
that  other  reasons  were  more  in- 
fluential in  determining  the  fra- 
ternity's   decision. 

Administration    hedges 

Both  the  alumni  and  under- 
graduates seemed  to  agree  that 
the  admilnistration  had  been  un- 
willing to  give  "clear-cut"  answers 
at  the  Delta  Phi  graduate  com- 
mittee meeting  last  week.  When 
queried  as  to  how  many  freshmen 
were  going  into  the  social  units, 
college  treasurer  Charles  Foehl 
was  unable  to  give  any  number. 

Giving  Foehl  the  benefit  of  the 
doubt,  the  fraternity  trustees 
thought  that  the  administration 
at  least  owed  them  the  coiu'tesy 
of  having  their  facts  and  figures 
prepared. 

Harvey  added  that  his  fratern- 
ity was  disgusted  with  the  col- 
lege's consistently  Inconcise,  am- 
biguous manner  of  handling  the 
transition  situation.  "Every  time 
the  college  hedges  on  an  answer. 
It  hurts  their  pwsition,"  he  assert- 
ed. 


Simpson   Moderates 
Arms  Panel  At  RPl 

Professor  Dwight  Simpson  of 
the  Department  of  Political  Sci- 
ence win  moderate  a  panel  dis- 
cussion on  Arms  Control  to  be 
given  at  R.P.I,  on  Friday  night 
April  26. 

The  panel  will  consider  the 
question,  "What  can  the  U.  8.  do 
to  reduce  the  risk  of  war  or  the 
destruction  should  it  occur?" 


Financial  support  being  offered 
Delta  Phi  from  "new  sources"  was 
one  of  the  "other  considerations" 
which  apparently  arose  at  the 
graduate  committee's  meeting. 
Since  the  main  reason  D  Phi  pass- 
ed the  original  motion  hinged  on 
their  envisioned  economic  prob- 
lems, this  "new  information"  was 
one  of  the  prime  considerations 
In   their   reversal. 

Reversal  is  "Tactical  Move'' 

Harvey  stressed  that  this  rever- 
sal was  "a  tactical  move  for  gain- 
ing alumni  support."  If  the  fra- 
ternity decides  not  to  comply  with 
the  college,  the  alumni's  financial 
support  will  obviously  be  needed. 
In  the  event  that  Delta  Phi  de- 
cides to  give  the  house  to  the  col- 
lege, a  strong  graduate  support 
will  put  the  fraternity  in  a  letter 
bargaining    position. 

While  the  Delta  Phi  president 
did  not  know  how  long  his  house 
would  remain  privately  owned,  he 
concluded  with  the  remark,  "Fra- 
ternities that  stick  it  out  to  the 
end  will  only  be  hurting  them- 
selves."

Editorial 


A  Solemn  Parting 


President  Kennedy  is  ]jerpetiially  praisinff  the  colleges  of 
this  country  for  their  service  to  the  "free  world,'  yet  he  has  done 
this  college  a  great  disservice  by  taking  Robert  Brooks  away.  This 
is  not  to  say  that  the  position  in  India  is  not  worthy  of  him,  but 
simply  that  Williams  is  a  poorer  jilace  for  his  leaving. 

As  a  teacher  and  as  an  administrator,  Dean  Brooks  com- 
manded admiration  and  res|)ect  without  parallel;  he  has  become, 
in  fact,  such  an  institution  that  it  is  virtually  impossible  to  con- 
ceive of  him  as  Robert  Brooks,  private  citizen.  It  is  very  sad  to 
witness  his  departure  because  the  best  we  can  hope  for  is  an  able 
successor;  a  replacement  seems  out  of  the  question. 

To  the  office  of  dean,  Robert  Brooks  brought  a  particular 
sort  of  humanity  which  seems  to  be  in  decline  in  the  academic 
world.  For  Brooks  took  his  position  as  one  in  which  he  could 
help  students,  rather  than  administering  to  them.  If  a  problem 
arose,  he  dealt  with  it,  but  he  did  not  seek  out  situations  to  which 
he  could  administer.  At  a  time  when  everyone  is  fearful  of  adminis- 
trative paternalism.  Dean  Brooks  was  a  shining  example  of  what 
ought  to  be,  not  just  what  might  be. 

Robert  Brooks  was  not  only  a  fine  dean,  but  was  an  exemiilary 
person  as  well,  two  qualities  which  are  not  always  combined  in 
an  administrator.  His  ability  to  confront  each  situation  on  its 
ovim  merits,  rather  tlian  conducting  each  case  with  a  set  of  rigid 
administrative  principles,  was  his  greatest  virtue.  When  he  spoke, 
students  listened  with  admiration  and  respect,  not  out  of  fear 
for  his  power  as  dean,  but  out  of  regard  for  his  judgment  and  in- 
tegrity. 

More  importantly,  he  permitted  student  responsibility,  ra- 
ther than  simply  saying  that  it  might  be  a  good  thing.  During  his 
tenure,  we  have  witaessed  tlie  marked  liberalization  of  many 
rules— particularly  those  concerning  dormitory  hours— which  re- 
flected his  confidence  in  the  maturity  and  capabilities  of  the  un- 
dergraduates, rather  than  the  attitude  of  an  indulgent  parent.  To 
Dean  Brooks,  student  responsibility  was  a  reality,  not  just  a 
platitude. 

He  refused,  moreover,  to  maintain  any  sort  of  administi-ative 
aloofness,  and  encouraged  personal  relationships  for  their  own 
value,  not  for  the  strength  they  would  give  him  as  an  adminis- 
trator. From  the  day  the  freshmen  gorged  themselves  at  his  an- 
nual picnic,  to  the  day  the  seniors  hear  his  stentorian  "High 
Sheriff,  give  us  order"  at  commencement,  we  are  always  conscious 
of  him  as  an  example  of  what  a  man  can  be. 

We  feel  that  we  speak  for  all  of  the  students,  as  has  seldom 
been  the  case  in  the  past,  when  we  say  "Farewell  Dean  Brooks 
and  best  of  fortune  in  whatever  you  do."  We  may  not  soon  see 
his  like  again.  -BARRY

exchange   program  between  Rus- 
sia and  the  United  States. 

Burns  will  not  only  lecture  in 
Russia,  but  also  plans  to  confer 
with  Russian  political  scientists 
and  other  intellectuals  to  find  out 
what  is  being  done  in  Russia  In 
political  science.  He  will  also  in- 
terview officials  of  the  Communist 
Party  as  to  the  development  of 
the  party  In  Russia.  He  hopes  to 
ascertain  the  extent  of  the  "fer- 
ment among  the  younger  social 
scientists,  and  to  compare  it  to 
the  recent  uproar  generated  by 
"rebellious"  poets  like  Yevtu- 
shenko   and  other  young   artists 

Before  entering  Russia,  Burns 
will  spend  one  week  in  Yugoslavia 
with  his  wife,  the  assistant  direc- 
tor of  the  Cluett  Center.  Mrs 
Burns  will  be  interviewing  pros- 
pective applicants  to  the  Cluett 
Center  and  will  continue  on  to 
Russia  with  her  husband  for  one 
more  week  before  returning  to 
Williamstown. 


Social  Council  Resolution...

could  fill  the  quota;  one  house 
would  then  pledge  nine,  and  two 
houses  none. 

SC  President  Dave  Kershaw.  '84 
expressed  doubt  that  this  would 
be  the  case.  CHIng  rushing  trends 
in  the  past,  Kershaw  looked  for 
more  scattered  distribution,  In 
which  several  houses  would  pledge 
a  full  quota  of  18,  and  the  rest 
would  pledge  gradually  decreasing, 
lesser  numbers. 

Frats  May   Fold 

In  the  event  that  two  or  more 
houses  make  the  decision  not  to 
participate  In  rushing  next  fall, 
however,  the  normal  division 
quota  would  yield  a  possible  pledge 
class  of  at  least  18  for  each  house. 
Again  at  the  extreme.  If  only  ten 
houses  participated,  the  quota 
would  rise  to  22.5,  or  precisely  - 
more  realistically  -  23  sophomores. 

The  move  was  explained  by  Ker- 
shaw as  a  means  for  houses  which 
intend  to  persist  through  1966  to 
maintain  financially  viable  organ- 


izations. With  alumni  backing,  a 
house  could  pay  Its  bills  If  only 
18  members  paid  their  dues  -  the 
situation  which  would  theoretical- 
ly exist  during  the  year  1966-67. 

The  inevitable  conclusion  ig, 
that  in  order  for  some  houses  to 
remain  financially  solvent,  others 
may  be  forced  to  cease  to  exist 
as  fraternities. 

Initiate  Social  Members 

The  status  of  social  member- 
ships may  well  determine  the  cap- 
ability of  the  fraternity  system  to 
maintain  Itself  until  1966,  the  last 
year  of  Williams  fraternities.  Ker- 
shaw suggested  that  this  topic 
may  well  be  of  major  concern  to 
the  SC  in  the  immediate  future. 

Unpledged  social  member.s  be- 
longing to  the  classes  of  '67  and 
'68  might  well  be  a  means  of  help- 
ing maintain  the  system  until  the 
deadline.  Kershaw  stressed,  how- 
ever, that  the  SC  was  dealing  with 
matters  affecting  only  the  period 
between  now  and  1966,  the  future 
beyond  that  pwlnt  being  too  un- 
certain even  for  speculation.

Bom  In  Rome 

Although  he  was  born  in  Rome, 
Italy,  while  his  parents  were  trav- 
eling. Brooks  was  raised  in  Maine 
and  later  in  Manchester,  Ver- 
mont. His  affinity  for  the  woods 
Is  nothing  short  of  legendary  and 
he  has  completed  various  projects 
-  the  trIple-R  Trail  and  a  lovely 
house  on  Bee  Hill  Road  -  to  earn 
the  sobriquet  of  "The  Silver  Pox." 
He  is  well  known  as  an  ornithol- 
ogist and  ski  enthusiast,  and 
his  annual  Faculty  Club  Snow 
sculptors  are  legendary. 

Active  in  local  affairs.  Dean 
Brooks  has  been  a  member  of  the 
Williamstown  Outlay  Committee, 
the  Conservation  Commission  and 
the  Bicentennial  Committee.  As  a 
prime  mover  in  the  Bicentennial, 
he  edited  all  and  wrote  half  of 
WiUlamstown:     The     First     Two 


Hundred  Years:  designed  Wil- 
liamstown's  historical  markers; 
helped  design  and  build  "The  1753 
House"  in  Field  Park  and  did  the 
research  for  the  play  "On  Hem- 
lock Brook."  In  Williamstown 
politics,  he  has  been  an  outspok- 
en and  active  supporter  of  the 
town-manager  form  of  govern- 
ment. 

Brooks  was  granted  a  leave  from 
Williams  from  June,  1941,  to  1946 
to  work  for  the  goverimient  dur- 
ing the  war  years.  Upon  his  re- 
turn he  was  appointed  dean  and 
Orrin  Sage  Professor,  two  posi- 
tions which  he  has  held  ever  since. 
On  occasion  of  his  return,  he  said 
that  "The  present  extraordinary 
emphasis  on  the  academic  side  of 
the  college  life  is  likely  to  continue 
for  several  years."  Brooks  has  re- 
marked on  numerous  occasions 
that  the  faculty  gathered  by  Pres- 
ident Baxter   after   the  war  was

Beginning  his  remarks  with  a 
statement  of  the  urgent  need  for 
a  supernatural  government.  Pro- 
fessor Robert  Strausz-Hupe  spoke 
Tuesday  night  on  the  "Future  of 
the  Atlantic  Community". 
Strausz-Hupe,  Director  of  the  For- 
eign Policy  Research  Association 
at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania, 
cited  the  "systematic  revolution" 
now  taking  place  as  evidence  of 
the  need  for  an  international  ad- 
ministration. 

Weapons  and  Population 

The  two  major  problems  which 
Strausz-Hupe  feels  can  only  be 
satisfEictorily  solved  by  tlie  crea- 
tion of  a  supernatural  govern- 
ment are  the  rising  number  of 
countries  in  po.ssession  of  nuclear 
weapons,  and  the  "iwpulation  ex- 
plosion'' in  already  overpopulated 
areas.  There  is  only  one  logical 
step  for  a  solution  of  this  con- 
clusion: the  creation  of  a  world 
government,  or  the  strengthening 
of  the  United  Nations  to  become 
a  world  government.  The  latter  of 
these  ideas  is  impossible,  for  the 
U.N.  is   merely   an  association  of

COMPORATION 


States,  like  a  large  nation-state 
which  he  considers  to  be  "obsoles- 
cent and  obsolete." 

The  three  component  groups  In 
the  U.N.  -  the  West,  the  Com- 
munists, and  the  uncommitted 
lieoples  -  must  therefore  form  a 
world  government  outside  the  U.N. 
The  Communists,  however,  are  un- 
fit for  leadership  of  the  task, 
for  they  do  not  agree  with  the 
Western  conception  of  interna- 
tional law.  Uncommitted  nations 
are  also  incompetent  leaders  of  a 
move  toward  a  supernatural  auth- 
ority, because  they  do  not  wish  to 
give  up  their  recently  obtained, 
hard-won  nationality.  Thus  the 
job  falls  to  the  West,  and  par- 
ticularly the  United  States, 
which,  he  asserts,  should  form  an 
Atlantic   Community. 

Community  of  Concensus 

His  conception  of  the  Atlantic 
Community  is  an  assembly  of 
countries  having  a  moral,  social, 
economic,  and  military  concensus. 
It  would  thus  be  eventually  limit- 
ed not  by  geographical  consider- 
ations, but  only  by  ideological  a- 
greement. 

The  practical  basis  today  for 
the  Community  is  NATO.  Accord- 
ing to  Strausz-Hupe,  this  organ- 
ization is  the  only  working  treaty 
outside  of  the  Communist  bloc. 
And  if  NATO  falls,  "we  are  going 
to   be  dead." 

Strength  in  NATO 

Working  on  this  foundation  of 
a  strong  NATO,  the  U.S.  must 
build  the  Atlantic  Community.  Ac- 
cording to  his  view,  this  should 
be  the  primary  task  of  our  coun- 
try, because  "first  things  should 
come  first,"  and  the  Community 
is  of  top  priority  for  two  reasons. 
First,  it  follows  the  aspirations 
of  the  world's  people,  which  are 
for  international  order  and  an 
end  to  the  systemic  revolution. 
Second,  it  is  important  for  stra- 
tegic considerations:  it  is  our 
hope  for  balking  the  Communist 
drive  for  world  domination.

Editorial 

A  Solemn  Parting 

Prfsidciit  Ki'iiiiciK  is  pci  pcdialK  praisiiis;  llic  collcj^cs  ol

this  collcj^t'  a  liirat  dissiTs  iii'  In'  lakint;  Hohi'rt  Brooks  away.  This 
is  not  to  sa\'  that  the  position  in  India  is  not  worthy  ol  him,  hut 
.simply  that  Williams  is  a  poorer  place  lor  his  leavini;;. 

.Vs  a  leather  and  as  an  administrator.  Dean  Hrooks  eoin- 
nianded  admiration  and  respect  without  parallel;  he  has  heconie, 
ill  tact,  such  an  institution  tiiat  it  is  \irtiiallv  impossible  to  con- 
ceive of  him  as  Hohert  Brooks,  pri\  ate  eiti/.cn.  It  is  very  sad  to 
witness  his  de|)arlmc  hecause  the  host  we  can  hope  for  is  an  able 
successor;  a  rephiccment  seems  out  of  the  (piestion. 

To  the  office  of  dean,  Hohert  Brooks  hroui^ht  a  p;u'ticiilar 
sort  of  hum;init\'  which  seems  to  he  in  ik>cliiie  in  the  academic 
workl.  For  Brooks  took  his  position  as  one  in  which  he  could 
help  students,  rather  than  adniiiiisterinii  to  lliciii.  If  a  problem 
arose,  he  dealt  w  ith  it,  but  lie  tliil  not  seek  out  situations  to  which 
he  could  ;idminister.  At  a  time  when  e\ervoiio  is  fearful  of  adminis- 
trati\'c  iiaternalism.  Dean  Brooks  was  a  shiuin;f  example  of  what 
oii^ht  to  be,   not  just  what  mi^lit  be. 

Hohert  Brooks  was  not  only  a  fine  dean,  but  was  an  e\t'mplar\' 
person  as  well,  two  (|ualities  which  arc  not  always  comhincd  in 
an  administrator.  His  abilitv  to  confront  each  situation  on  its 
own  merits,  rather  than  conductint;  each  case  with  a  set  of  rit^id 
administrative  princi|)les,  was  liis  i;reatest  \irtue.  When  he  spoke, 
students  listened  with  admiration  and  respect,  not  out  of  tear 
for  his  jjower  ;is  dean,  but  out  ol  regard  for  his  judtfment  ;m(l  in- 
tegrity. 

More  iniportantlv.  he  permitted  student  I'esponsibilitv,  ra- 
ther than  simplv  sasin^  th;it  it  mii;ht  be  a  irood  thiii<;.  Diirinu;  his 
tenure,  we  h;i\e  witnessed  the  marked  liberalization  of  niaiiv 
rules— particukulv  those  conccrninsj;  ilormitorv  hours— which  re- 
flected his  conlidencc  in  the  inatnrits'  and  capabilities  of  tlu>  iin- 
dert!;raduati's.  rather  th;in  llie  attitude  of  an  induls^cnt  i^arent.  To 
Dean  Bi'ooks,  student  rcspoiisihih'tv  was  a  r<"alitv,  not  just  a 
platitude. 

Ho  relused,  moreiner,  lo  maintiiin  an\'  sort  ol  adminisfrati\(' 
aloofne.ss,  and  encouray;c(l  persoujil  relationshi|is  for  their  own 
value,  not  for  the  slreiiy;tli  they  would  lijive  him  as  an  adminis- 
trator. From  the  day  the  h-eshmcn  ,lJorij;ed  thenisclves  at  his  an- 
nual picnic,  to  the  dav  the  seniors  hc;ir  his  steiitori;m  "lli,s;h 
Shci'ift,  y;i\e  us  order"  at  comniriicemcnt,  we  ;u('  iilwavs  conscious 
of  him  as  an  ex;un|5le  of  what  a  man  can  be. 

We  feel  that  wc  speak  for  all  of  the  students,  as  has  seldom 
been  the  case  in  the  |)ast,  when  we  sa\'  "l''arewell  Di'an  Brooks 
and  best  of  fortune  in  wliatiwcr  von  do."  We  ni;u  not  soon  see

could  fill  the  quota;  one  hou.se 
would  then  pledwe  nine,  and  two 
houses   none. 

SC  President  Dave  Kershaw,  '64 
expre.s,sed  doubt  thai  this  would 
be  lh(>  case.  Citing  rushing  trends 
in  the  iiasl.  Kershaw  looked  for 
more  scattered  distribution,  m 
which  several  houses  would  pledge 
a  full  quota  of  18.  and  the  rest 
would  pledge  gradually  decreasing. 
Ics.ser   numbers. 

I'rals   May    1  "Id 

In  the  event  thai  two  or  more 
houses  make  tlie  decision  not  to 
participate  in  rushing  next  fall, 
liowever.  Hie  normal  division 
quota  would  yield  a  jjo.ssitale  pledge 
cla.ss  of  at  least  IK  for  each  hou.se. 
Again  at  the  extreme,  if  only  ten 
houses  participated,  the  quota 
would  rise  to  22.5.  or  precisely  - 
more  realistically  -  2:i  .sophomores. 

The  move  was  exiilained  by  Ker- 
shaw as  a  means  for  hou.ses  winch 
intend  to  persist  through  I'JHti  lo 
maintain  financially  viable  organ- 


izations. With  ulumiii  backing,  a 
house  could  pay  ils  bills  if  only 
18  members  paid  their  dues  -  the 
situation  which  would  tlu-oieticul- 
ly  exist  during    the  year  1966-07 

The  inevitable  conclusion  i, 
that  in  order  for  some  house.s  lo 
remain  financially  .solvent,  oUk^s 
may  be  forced  to  cease  to  i  xist 
as  fraternities. 

Initiate   Social  Members 

The  status  of  social  iiuinbi  r- 
.ships  may  well  determine  the  e.ip- 
ability  of  the  fraternity  system  in 
maintain  itself  until  19(Ui,  llic  la.>t 
year  of  Williams  fraternities.  Kei- 
shaw  suggested  that  this  topic 
may  well  be  of  major  concern  i 
the   SC  in   the    immediate   fuUin 

Unpledged  social  members  ii, 
longing  to  the  cla.sses  of  '67  and 
'(in  miglit  well  be  a  means  of  hilii- 
ing  niaintain  the  .system  until  lii,- 
deadline.  Kershaw  stres.sed,  how- 
ever, that  the  SC  was  dealing  \m11i 
niatlers  affecting  only  the  pciMil 
between  now  and  19G(i,  the  fuim,-

and  later  in  Manchester,  'Ver-

is  nothing  .short  of  legendary  and 
he  has  completed  various  pro.iect.s 
-  the  triplc-R  Trail  and  a  lovely 
hou.se  on  Bee  Hill  Road  -  to  earn 
the  sobriquet  of  "The  Silver  Pox." 
He  is  well  known  as  an  ornithol-

his  annual  Faculty  Club  Snow-

Active  in  local  affairs.  Dean 
Brooks  has  been  a  member  of  the

Brooks  was  granted  a  leave  from 
Williams  from  June,  1941.  to  1946 
to  work  for  the  government  dur-

On  occasion  of  his  return,  he  said 
thai  "The  present  extraordinary

NATURALLY 


Yale  Stichmen  Clobber  Waiiam,  111; 
i4nm$on  Scores  Lone  Purple  Goal 


Displaying  speed  and  excellent 
stickwork,  the  highly  touted  Yale 
lacrosse  team  swamped  WilUams 
Wednesday  by  the  score  of  11-1 
on  rain-soaked  Colo  Field.  For  the 
Eli,  the  win  made  their  record  3- 
2,  including  a  7-6  loss  to  Array. 
For  the  Ephs,  the  game  was  their 
third  setback  in  three  official  out- 
ings. 

Play  was  comparatively  even- 
balanced  in  the  first  half.  Bill 
Rapp  got  the  Bulldogs  out  in  front 
at  6;34  of  the  first  period  when 
he  picked  up  a  loose  ball  in  front 
of  the  cage  and  scored.  Four  min- 
utes later,  with  the  Purple  down 
a  man  on  a  penally.  Sam  Gwinn 
made  it  2-0  Yale. 

As  the  second  quarter  be- 
gan, the  rains  recommenced  and 
made  the  field  muddy  and  slow.  A 
bad  bounce  on  the  .soggy  turf  gave 
Yale  its  third  score  as  the  ball 
bounced  erratically  over  goaUe 
Rob  Engle's  stick.  Tlien,  Williams 
got  its  lone  tally  of  the  day.  A 
pass  from  Snuffy  Leach  to  Mike 
Annison  put  the  sophomore  at- 
tackman  behind  the  Yale  defense 
with  only  the  goalie  to  beat.  An- 
nison faked  a  high  shot  and  then 
flipped  the  ball  into  the  lower 
corner  of  the  cage. 

But  that  was  all  the  Ephs  were 
to  get.  In   the  third  period,  Yale 
put   together   a   fine   performance 
of   how    to   move   a   lacrosse  ball 
up   the   field   as  they  scored  five 
times  in  the  quarter.  At  one  point 
the  Eli  tallied  three  times  within 
51    seconds    to    break    the  game 
wide-open.    Meanwhile,    the   Ephs 
had    trouble   controlling    the   elu 
sive    ball    and    were    not    able   to 
sustain    any   offensive.    Only   En 
gle's  outstanding  goal-tending  du- 
ties kept  the  Bulldogs  from  scor 
ing   more. 


By  the  fourth  quarter,  the  final 
outcome  had  been  decided.  Yale's 
final  two  goals  were  only  icing 
on  the  cake.  Despite  the  hustle 
and  good  jobs  of  Bobby  HalUgan 
and  Jimmy  Williams,  the  Ephs 
were  unable  to  hold  down  the  Eli 
and  score  themselves.

fine  enough  to  rival  tliat  of  any 
of  the  major   universities. 

During  his  five  years  in  Wash- 
ington, Brooks  was  attached  suc- 
cessively to  the  Office  of  Produc- 
tion Management,  the  War  Pro- 
duction Office  and  the  Office  of 
Price  Administration.  In  the  OPa, 
Brooks  rose  to  the  position  of 
Senior  Executive  and  eventually 
to  Deputy  Administrator  in  charge 
of  the  OPA  information  program, 
an  experience  which  should  stand 
him  in  good  stead  in  his  posi- 
tion in  India. 

For  his  work  during  the  war. 
Brooks  received  a  Certificate  of 
Merit  from  President  'n-uman  in 
1947.  In  1952,  he  served  as  a  con- 
sultant to  the  Administrator  of 
the  Office  of  Price  Stabilization. 

Brooks  has  written  five  books, 
among  which  are  When  Labor  Or- 
ganizes (1937),  Unions  of  their 
Own  Choosing:  (1938),  As  Steel 
Goes  (1940).  THE  RECORD  of 
July  10,  1942  recognized  him  as 
of  July  10,  1942  recognized  him  as 
being  particularly  suitable  for  the 
position  in  the  Labor  Office  of 
OPA  because  of  "his  experience 
as  a  member  of  the  Steel  Workers' 
Organizing  Committee  of  the  CIO 
and  as  a  teacher  of  industrial  re- 
lations at  Yale." 

After  the  war,  however.  Brooks 
noted  that  his  whole  field  of  in- 
terest shifted  from  labor  problems 
to  international  affairs,  a  change 
which  was  reflected  in  the  devo- 
tion of  his  academic  reading  to 
such  areas  as  Africa  and  South 
America  and  all  of  his  "emotional 
energies"  into  such  projects  as  the 
Cluebt  Center,  of  which  he  was 
one  of  the  founders.  For  the  past 
three  years,  he  served  as  director 
of  graduate  study  and  has  served 
as  head  of  the  center  since  Vin- 
cent Barnett  left  Williams  to  be- 
come president  of  Colgate  Univer- 
sity. No  successor  to  Brooks  as 
head  of  the  center  has  been  an- 
nounced yet. 

In  addition  to  his  duties  as 
dean  and  teacher,  Brooks  has 
served  as  Pulbright  adviser  and 
Peace  Corps  Uason.  He  was  the 
founder  of  the  Faculty  Children's 
Tuition  Exchange  program  and 
since  1953  has  served  as  executive 
director  of  the  program. 

Brooks  said  yesterday  that  he 
plans  to  return  to  Williamstown 
after  his  tenure  in  India  to  re- 
sume his  chair  in  the  economics 
department,  but  not  to  return  to 
the  position  of  dean.

With  Juniors  and  seniors  regis-

1963-64  term,  there  seemed  to  be 
no  considerable  trend  toward  or 
away  from  any  of  the  gener- 
al fields  or  divisions,  but  there 
were  some  large  losses  and  gains 
in  Individual  majors. 

With  251  seniors  <264  register- 
ed for  the  '62-'63  term)  and  276 
juniors  registered,  the  division  is 
as  follows,  with  the  class  of  "64

gan  to  circulate  immediately  al- 
ter the  announcement  of  the  ap- 
pointment of  Robert  R.  R.  Brooks 
as  cultural  attache  to  the  Amer- 


ican Emba.s.sy  in  India.  The  Ad- 
ministration has  biH-n  quiet  and 
even  evasive  when  Questioned  by 
various  students,  but  the  new  ap- 
pointment is  expected  to  be  an- 
nounced after  the  Trustees  con- 
vene next  weekend  in  Williams- 
town. 

The  first  announced  candidate 
for  the  position  was  the  irrepres- 
sible Raymond  B.  Washburne, 
proprietor  of  the  College  Book 
Store  on  Spring  Street.  When  ask- 
ed if  he  would  like  to  be  dean, 
Washburne  responded  "Why,  I 
think  so.  I'd  make  a  terrific 
dean." 

Dapper   and   Erudite 

"At  least  I'd  do  a  better  job 
than  some  of  those  Ph.D.'s  they 
have  up  there  now,"  he  said. 

The  dapper  and  erudite  Wash- 
burne, once  a  member  of  the  class 


modestly  calls  "a  small  succe.ss" 
with  his  Spring  Street  enterprise 
and  is  well-known  among  stu- 
dents after  40  yeais  of  "close  as- 
jsociation"  with  the  college.  He 
has  .served  as  a  .selectman  in 
Williamstown  and  has  strong 
backing  from  many  students. 

"I'd  like  to  .see  him  in  Hopkins 
Hall,"  said  one.  "He  would  give 
a   little  color  to  that  dull  place." 

Other  Candidates 

Other  candidates  mentioned  in 
rumors  on  Spring  Street  were  Pil- 
more  Baker,  an  unsuccessful  can- 
didate for  .selectman,  and  John 
Courtney,  genial  chef  and  general 
buffoon   of   the   Gym   Restaurant. 

It  is  generally  thought,  how- 
ever, that  the  new  dean  will  be 
"a  little  closer  to  Hopkins  Hall" 
than  this  trio,  even  though  the 
College  is  always  striving  bo  im- 
prove town-gown  relations.

Town  To  Lose  $50,000  In   Taxes 


By  John  D.  Rawls 

Williamstown  is  faced  with  los- 
ing nearly  $50,000  in  taxes  paid 
annually  by  fraternities.  The  loss 
would  result  from  the  college  as- 
suming ownership  of  the  houses, 
a  possibility  that  looms  larger  on 
the  campus  horizon  daily.

Film,  Speaker  See  Remade  World, 
Possible  Through  Personal  Change 

Absolute  honesty,  absolute  pur- 
ity, absolute  unselfishness,  and 
absolute  love,  the  four  precepts  of 
Moral  Re-Armament,  emerged  as 
the  key  to  the  solution  of  the 
world's  crises  at  a  film  and  dis- 
cu.ssion  presentation  in  Jesup 
Hall,  Thursday  last. 

Through  its  representative,  Dr 
Douglas  Cornell,  of  the  National 
Academy  of  Sciences,  and  its  most 
recent  motion  picture  production, 
"El  Candor,''  the  pseudo-religious 
group  alerted  a  gathering  of  more 
than  200  students  that  a  funda- 
mental change  in  human  nature 
is  necessary  before  effective  pol- 
itical and  economic  change  can 
occur. 

Reconcillaiion 

The  amateurish  film,  purported 
to  have  been  written  and  enacted 
by  Peruvian  students  who  had 
transformed  their  lives,  dealt  with 
the  conflict  of  extremists  of  the 
right  and  left  and  their  recon- 
ciliation through  moral  rearma- 
ment. 

Describing  the  movement  as  "a 
total  revolution,"  Dr.  Cornell  sta- 
led that  Moral  Re-Armament  Is 
the  alternative  to  "the  selfishness 
of  the  right,  and  the  bitterness 
of  the  left."  In  spite  of  America's 
military  strength,  he  added,  free- 
dom and  democracy  "are  not  se- 
cure around  the  world  today."  The 
nation  must  "go  on  the  offensive 
with  an  Idea  based  not  on  man- 
ipulating men  and  nations,  but  on 
changing  and  uniting  them,  he 
concluded. 

Ruling  Materialism 

The  mission  of  Moral  Re-Arm- 
arnent,  according  to  one  of  the 
film's  authors,  is  "remaking  the 
world  beginning  with  ourselves  . . . 
We  realize  the  problem  is  neith- 
er Communism  nor  CapltaUsm.  It 
Is  the  materialism  that  rules  men 
and  nations." 

Reaction  to  the  film  ran  from 
"This  Is  a  great  Idea,  but  can  it 
work,"  and  "The  film  presented 
one  of  the  most  worthwhile  solu- 
tions to  the  world's  problems  for 


Dr.   Douglas  Cornell 

someone  who  is  seriously  concern- 
ed," to  "The  film  seemed  a  poor 
edition  of  True  Confessions"  and 
"It  was  a  combination  of  West 
Side  Story,  Mr.  Smith  Goes  to 
Washington,  a  mediaeval  Miracle 
Play,  and  Billy  Graham." 

At  one  point  In  the  after-film 
discussion,  Dr.  Cornell  remarked 
that  the  only  real  law  of  Moral 
Re-Armament  was  "Never  stand 
on  wicker  furniture,"  indicating 
the  lack  of  any  oi-ganized  pre- 
cepts in  the  movement.  One  local 
pundit  observed  that  "the  entire 
movement  seems  to  be  stand- 
ing on  wicker  furniture."

Student  Leaders  Meet: 
Discuss   Responsibility 

The  iieads  of  student  govcnnneiit  of  Amlierst,  Wesleyan, 
Tiinitv  and  Williams  met  Sinidav.  April  21.  at  .\mher.st  to  ex- 
diaiige  opinions  and  evahiate  their  respective  |iositi()ns.  "We  were 
the  one  group  with  tlie  most  lonfused  situation.  We  have  the 
least  responsibility,"  commented  Scott  IJiichart  '64,  President  of 
the  Oillege  Council,  when  interviewed  about  tlie  meeting. 

The  heads  of  state  discussed 
electoral  procedure,  student-ad- 
ministration relations,  student  re- 
sponsibiUty,  .student  evaluation  of 
faculty  and  college,  and  the  source 
of  power  in  student  governments. 
Both  Wesleyan  and  Trinity  in 
particular  presented  a  picture  of 
student  goverjiments  which  were 
active,  and  well  supported  by  both 
students  and  administration. 

"The  question  is  one  of  general 
attitude  and  degrees  of  respon- 
sibility, rather  than  one  of  spec- 
ific institutions  or  methods,"  ob- 
served Dave  Kershaw,  '64  Pres- 
ident of  the  Social  Council,  who 
also  attended  the  meeting.  "Great- 
er activity  and  effectiveness  on 
the  part  of  the  governments, 
breeds  greater  student  support 
which  in  turn  makes  for  a  student 
government  with  a  greater  say  in 
policy  making,"  he  added. 

Mike  Anderson,  President  of  the 
Senate  at  Ti'inity  outlined  stu- 
dent government  at  Trinity  as 
follows:  There  is  a  popularly  elec- 
ted Senate  with  a  representative 
from  each  dormitory  and  frater- 
nity. The  Senate  elects  a  Pres- 
ident, and  then  divides  itself  into 
three  committees;  one  allocates 
funds,  one  handles  student  affairs 
such  as  elections  and  dormitory 
regulations,  and  one  carries  out 
extended  projects. 

There  are  two  measures  of  the 
activity  of  this  system:  the  first 
is  a  booklet,  published  by  the 
special  project  committee,  entitled 
Trinity  College,  An  Undergradu- 
ate Evaluation.  The  evaluation 
concerned  itself  with  everything 
from  the  President's  office,  and 
faculty  performance,  to  the  man- 
agement of  the  Infirmary.  The 
second  measure  of  Student  ac- " 
tivity  is  Medusa  a  senior  honor 
society  much  like  Gargoyle  which 
is  responsible  in  a  large  measure 
for  discipline.  The  committee  pol- 
icies dormitory  hours,  and  can 
recommend  expulsion.  It  is  self 
perpetuating  in  the  manner  of 
Gargoyle. 

Both  Buchart  and  Kershaw 
were  quick  to  point  out  that  the 
situation  at  Trinity  is  not  without 
its  defects.  The  evaluation  book- 
let, which  was  intended  as  private 
and  constructive  criticism,  was 
pubUcised  in  national  newspapers 
much  to  the  disfavor  of  Trinity 
College,  and  Medusa  is  currently 
being  criticised  as  being  too  great 
a  concentration   of  power   in   the

and  will  cease  to  be  taxable  if  used 
for  medical  purposes. 
What  Is  Taxable? 

Shane  Riorden,  Assistant  Col- 
lege Ti-easurer,  explained  in  an 
interview  that  the  question  of  tax- 
ability rests  upon  ownership  and 
use.  If  the  college  were  to  lease 
fraternity  property  at  a  nominal 
sum,  the  fraternity  would  con- 
tinue paying  taxes  for  it.  If  the 
college  were  to  obtain  ownership 
and  utilize  the  property  for  non- 
educational  purposes  isuch  as 
leasing  It  or  operating  a  business ) , 
it  would  still  remain  taxable.  Only 
if  the  college  were  to  own  it  and 
use  it  for  educational  purposes 
(including  student  housing)  would 
the  money  be  lost  to  the  town. 
This,  however,  could  easily  be  the 
case.

time  and  place  of  the  latter  en- 
gagement have  not  been  determin- 
ed as  yet. 

The  fund  drive,  which  will  be-

will  aid  both  NSM  and  SNCC.

All  The  Way  With  Ray 

My  friends,  and  1  know  you  arc  all  my  Iricnils,  1  eonic  before' 
you  today  to  speak  in  behalf  of  u  man  who  should,  nay,  who  must, 
be  the  next  dean  of  this  fine  little  college  of  ours.  His  name  is 
Raymond  Washburne  and  his  (jualifications  are  so  obvious  that 
elaboration  seems  sujjcrfluous.  l^est  am'  of  you  out  there  doubt 
his  suitability,  however,  permit  nie  to  point  out  some  of  the  rea- 
sons why  I  think  Ray  VVashburne  is  the  man  for  the  job. 

In  tlie  first  place,  he  knows  the  college  and  the  students,  a 
knowledge  which  is  of  the  highest  inijjortance  as  oiu"  ship  of  states 
rolls  ancl  flounders  in  the  backwash  of  history.  We  must  move  to 
the  future,  and  he  is  the  sturdy  helmsmau  to  guide  us  in  our 
perilous  voyage.  After  more  than  30  years  of  association  with  the 
college,  Ray  Washburne  has  built  u|)  a  rapport  with  students  that 
is  vital;  if  anyone  can  keej-)  the  lines  of  communication  open  be- 
tween the  students  and  the  administration,  he  is  our  man.  The 
dean  is  a  man  who  must  know  the  students  and  the  college  and 
the  successor  to  Robert  Brooks  must  therefore  come  from  within, 
more  or  less,  the  college. 

Moreover,  if  the  financial  planners,  those  beasts  of  fiscal 
burden,  should  need  assistance,  Ray  Washburne  is  the  man  to 
give  it  to  them.  As  the  proprietor  of  one  of  Sj^ring  Street's  most 
popular  (if  not  most  profitable)  enterprises,  he  is  capable  of  any 
imaginable  forward  planning.  His  small,  but  thriving  business— 
and,  my  friends,  these  are  the  bulwark  of  this  great  comitry  of 
ours— has  given  him  valuable  practical  experience  which  would 
be  an  asset  to  any  administration,  or  even  any  corporation.  The 
sluggishness  of  our  economy  will  be  promptly  rectified,  for  Ray 
is  pledged  to  the  idea  of  "a  fair  day's  pay  for  a  fair  day's  work." 
His  store,  which  tolerates  neither  price-fixing  nor  featherbedding, 
is  a  model  which  the  college  must  strive  to  emulate. 

Not  only  is  Ray  Washburne  professionally  perfect  for  the 
job,  but  he  is  also  one  of  the  finest  men  I  have  ever  had  the  privi- 
lege to  know,  and  I've  known  a  few  in  my  time.  The  drabness  of 
the  workaday  college  world  would  be  greatly  enlivened  by  his 
dapper  figure,  his  gay  personality,  his  smashing  sense  of  irony, 
and,  above  all,  his  flair  for  the  forthright.  Indeed,  he  is  a  worthy 
successor  to  our  beloved  Robert  Brooks,  who  hath  been  called 
to  do  a  higher  service. 

My  friends,  it  seems  unnecessary  to  belabor  the  point,  for  Ray 
Washburne  is  so  obviously  the  man  for  the  job.  For  the  tinistees 
to  choose,  nay  to  even  consider,  any  other  would  be  a  serious  in- 
justice to  the  lovely  people,  and  I  really  mean  that,  of  this  little 
community.  The  people  deserve  Ray  Washburne,  and  nothing  less. 
He  is  well-rounded  and  he  is  a  businessman  with  a  sense  of  hu- 
mor, and  what  more  can  you  ask  for?  We  will  settle  for  no  other.

Sansoucie  Hits  Harsch's  Letter 


To  the  Editor: 

Jonatlian  Harsch's  letter  print- 
ed in  the  April  19th  issue,  I  am 
told  by  an  undergraduate,  was 
written  'tongue-in-cheek.'  I  truly 
hope  so;  otherwise  Mr.  Harsch 
should  be  taken  to  taslt  or  at 
least  be  brought  up-to-date  in 
some  of  his  orientation. 

Stabling  horses  in  choir  stalls 
was  not  unique  to  the  Lord  Pro- 
tector of  the  Commonwealth  in 
England;  it  was  repeated  over  a 
hundred  years  later  in  Old  South 
Meeting  House  in  Boston  during 
the  early  days  of  the  British  Oc- 
cupation of  J,hat  city.  His  Majesty 
George  Ill's  cavalry  was  author- 
ized to  use  the  sanctuary  as  an 
equestrian  ring  for  the  winter  con- 
venience of  his  prized  officers. 

The  'open  eyes  of  the  saints' 
referred  to  In  Mr.  Harsch's  letter 
Is  a  rather  euphonious  phrase 
but  It  has  a  slippery  connota- 
tion. What  saints,  pray  tell,  does 
he  refer  to?  Frederick  Ferris 
Thompson,  to  whose  memory  the 
chapel  was  named,  attended  this 
academic  institution  but  briefly — 
leaving  without  having  earned  his 
degree  mid-century  to  become  one 
of  the  Post-Civil  War  financial 
wizards  who  became  the  god-fath- 
ers of  such  institutions  as  his  a- 
dopted  Alma  Mater.  According  to 
Professor  Rudolph's  Mark  Hopkins 
and  The  Log:,  Mr.  Thompson's 
benefactions  to  the  College  made 
possible  much  needed  firming  up 
of  the  institution's  financial  foot- 
ing, as  well  as  the  construction  of 
many  buildings  currently  bearing 
his  name.  That  Thompson  Mem- 
orial Chdpel,  which  was  dedicated 
in  1905*  was  ever  a  residence  of 
'the  saints'  would  be  a  difficult 
proposition  to  argue — for  defini- 
tions  would   be    in  order.   Crom- 


well's   aversion   to    the   term  was 
not   too  well   recorded;    but  cer 
tainly  his  Latin  Secretary's  criti 
cism   can  be  found  in  any  good 
anthology  of  the  era. 

Thompson  Chapel  suffers  the 
usual  apocryphal  sanctimonious- 
ness afforded  to  most  religious  ed- 
ifices; its  donor  may  not  have  in- 
tended any  of  the  present  con- 
troversy. The  records  Immediate 
ly  at  hand  contain  little  evidence 
that  Mr.  Thompson  actually  wish- 
ed a  Gothic  Cathedral  to  his 
memory;  he  merely  left  a  lot  of 
money  to  his  old  school.  Others 
spent  it  on  'needed  construction.' 
Not  many  of  us  think  that  the 
new  cross  and  the  hideous 
bishop's  red  mounting  in  the 
chancel  of  the  Chapel  add  much 
to  the  traditional  appointments; 
yet  a  creeping  modernism  reaches 
also  to  the  lectern,  the  pulpit,  and 
the  chancel  itself — as  evidenced 
by  last  week's  offering  of  'religious 
dfama.' 

Yet,  this  college — the  old  cat- 
alogues tell  us,  at  least — Is  a 
place  where  differences  of  opin- 
ion flourish;  the  intellectual  stim- 
ulation within  legitimate  tensions 
are  the  proper  grounds  for  a  ges- 
talt.  Some  of  lectern  or  pulpit — 
from  Mr.  Harsch.  He  might  well 
prove,  on  his  feet,  more  adroit 
than  he  does  with  his  pen. 

Written,  Sir,  not  "with  out- 
rage.'' as  was  Mr.  Harsch's  com- 
munication, but  with  the  genuine 
concern  for  the  possibilities  with- 
in the  tensions  which  presently 
center  around  the  Thompson 
Memorial,  I  remain. 

Sincerely, 

Robert  W.  Sansoucie  '63

Oxford  Students  Propose  International  Magazine 


There  are  a  number  of  us  here 
In  Oxford  interested  in  starting 
an  international  student's  maga- 
zine. 

The  idea  is  lor  students  of  dif- 
ferent countries  to  have  a  place 
to  present  their  views,  complaints, 
praises,  and  so  on,  of  the  way 
their  universities  are  run.  and  the 
way  they  look  at  affairs  in  gen- 
eral. You  must  understand  that 
this  idea  is  at  present  only  in  em- 
bryo, but  we  hope  that  wc  shall 
finally  be  achieving  something 
worthwhile  in  this  way.  If  you 
are  by  any  chance  not  interested 
in  this,  I  would  be  very  grateful  if 
you  could  pass  this  letter  on  to 
someone  else  in  your  university 
who  might  be,  since  it  is  at  this 
early  stage  essential  that  we  get 
as  much  matei'ial  together  as  pos- 
sible to  start  with. 

We  think  that  the  best  way  of 
doing  things  is  ultimately  to  aim 
at  having  a  series  of  university 
publications  in  correspondence 
with  each  other;  each  sending  ma- 
terial to  tile  others,  and  printing 
a  selection  of  what  it  gets  in  re- 
turn. We  feel  that  any  other  sys- 
tem would  be  too  clumsy  to  work. 

Initially  we  are  only  writing  to 
a  few  universities  in  Europe  and 
America,  so  that  we  can  keep  fair- 
ly closely  in  touch  with  each  cor- 
respondent. In  our  tm-n,  we  are 
trying  to  attract  good  writers  in 
this  country  and  should  be  able 
to  start  sending  out  contributions 
in  return  for  those  we  receive  be- 
fore too  long.  In  addition,  if  you 
are  interested,  we  could  send  you 
a  selection  of  articles  we  receive 
from  other  countries.  In  principle 
we  are  looking  for  articles  and 
features  about  any  of  the  things 
which  normally  interest  the  stu- 
dent, and  not  necessarily  grimly 
serious  matters.  So  if  you  can 
find  writing  about  your  social  life, 
crazes,  culture,  literature,  drama, 
cinema,  work,  philosophical  and 
religious  feelings,  financial  and 
lodging  problems,  sport,  or  even 
politics— in    short    anything    that 


Gurgle  Plans  Tapping 
For  Friday  Afternoon 

The  newest  of  Williams'  senior 
honor  societies  will  hold  its  first 
tapping  ceremony  on  Friday  af- 
ternoon at  4:30  on  the  lawn  be- 
tween Kappa  Alpha  and  Phi 
Gamma  Delta.  Free  beer  will  be 
provided  to  all  who  attend  the 
performance. 

Gurgle,  for  so  this  august  so- 
ciety is  called,  will  choose  19  mem- 
bers of  the  junior  class  to  be  the 
first  active  members  of  the  so- 
ciety. A  select  group  of  seniors 
chosen  for  their  sympathy  with 
the  premise  of  the  society,  will  tap, 
and  will  be  considered  as  alumni 
of  Giu'gle. 

A  spokesman  for  the  society 
said  that  the  group  was  neither 
conceived  as  "a  reaction  against 
anything  or  anybody,"  nor  as 
"some  sort  of  bitter  reprisal.  We 
just  thought  it  would  be  a  good 
idea,"  he  said. 

The  society  stressed  that  fresh- 
men would  be  welcome,  as  would 
be  any  faculty  member,  adminis 
trator,  or  trustee.  -  It  has  been 
rumored  that  attendance  at  the 
tapping  ceremony  will  be  compul- 
sory, but,  in  any  event,  it  should 
be  fun  and  games. 

In  the  case  of  bad  weather,  the 
ceremony  will  be  held  Tuesday 
afternoon  at  the  same  time.

ly the  same  at  60  and  65.  This 
compares  to  a  71,  145,  57  break- 
down for  the  class  of  '63.  In  a 
search  for  trends  it  must  be  noted 
that  the  class  of  '63  registered 
49  political  science  majors  as  com-

classes  before  them  in  honors  can-

is  the  highest  figure  of  the  last 
five  years,  and  in  addition  '65 
shows  a  larger  percentage  of  hon- 
ors candidates  in  certain  key  maj- 
ors, e.g.,  19  of  31  In  English,  19  of

HOW  TO  SEE  EUROPE 
FOR  ONLY  $300  A  DAY:  NO.  2 

Last  week  wo  disoiissed  KuKJand,  tlie  first  stop  on  tlio  tour  of 
Europe  tliiit  every  American  college  student  is  Roinf;  to  niiiko 
this  Kuiriinpr.  Today  we  will  take  uji  your  next  .stop  — l''rance, 
or  tlio  Pearl  of  the  Pacific,  as  it  is  generally  callefl. 

To  get  from  Mnnhiiul  to  Franco,  one  jjreases  one's  body  and 
swims  the  EuKlisli  Channel.  Similarly,  to  pet  from  Franco  to 
Spain,  one  fjrease.s  one's  body  and  slides  down  the  Pyrenees. 
And,  of  course,  to  set  from  Franco  to  Switzerland,  one  ureases 
one's  Ixxly  and  wriggles  tliroiigh  the  Siniploii  Tunnel.  Thus,  as 
you  can  see,  the  most  important  single  itoni  to  take  to  Europe 
is  a  valise  full  of  grease. 

No,  I  am  wniTig.  Tlie  most  important  thing  to  take  to  Euroixi 
is  a  vali.se  full  of  Marlhoro  Cigarettes-  or  at  least  as  many  as

the  customs  rcgulation.s  will  allow.  And  if  by  chance  you  should 
run  out  of  Mai'lljoros  in  Enroiw,  do  not  despiur.  That  familiar 
red  and  white  Marlboro  package  is  as  omnipresent  in  Europe 
as  it  is  in  all  fifty  of  the  United  States.  And  it  is  the  .suiiie 
superb  cigarette  you  find  at  home— the  same  pure  white  filter, 
the  .same  zestful,  mellow  blend  of  tobaccos  |)reecding  the  filter. 
This  gem  of  the  tobacconist's  art,  this  prodigy  of  cigarette 
engineering,  was  nchie\'(Ml  by  Miirllioro's  well-known  research 
team  — Fred  Softpack  and  Walter  Flijjtoi)- and  I,  for  one,  am 
grateful. 

But  I  digress.  We  were  speaking  of  F'rance- or  tlie  Serpent  of 
the  Nile,  as  it  is  popniarly  torniod. 

Ix!t  us  first  briefly  sum  up  the  history  of  France.  The  nation 
was  discovered  in  10(16  by  Madanic  Guillotine.  There  followed 
a  series  of  costly  wars  with  Schleswig-Holstein,  the  Cleveland 
Indians,  and  ,Iean  Jacques  liousseau.  Stability  finally  came  to 
this  troubled  land  with  the  coronation  of  Marshal  Foch,  who 
married  Ix)rrainc  Alsace  and  had  three  children :  Elopsy,  Mopsy, 
and  Charlomagne.  This  later  became  known  as  the  Petit  Trianon. 

Marshal  Foch— or  the  Hoy  Orator  of  the  Platte,  as  he  was 
affectionately  callod-w.as  succeeded  by  Napoleon,  who  intro- 
duced shortness  to  France.  Until  Napoleon  tlie  Freneh  were 
the  tallest  nation  in  Europe.  After  Najjolcon  most  I''renchmen 
were  able  to  walk  comfortably  under  card  tallies.  This  later 
became  known  as  the  Hunchback  of  Notre  Dame. 

Napoleon,  after  his  defeat  by  Credit  Mobilior,  was  exiled  to 
Elba,  where  lie  iiuide  the  famous  statement,  "Able  was  I  ere  I 
saw  Elba."  This  sentence  reads  the  same  whether  you  spell  it 
forward  or  backward.  You  can  also  spell  Marlboro  backward  — 
Oroblram.  Do  not,  however,  try  to  smoke  Marlboro  backward 
because  that  undoes  all  the  pleasure  of  the  finest  cigarette  made. 

After  Napoleon's  death  the  French  people  fell  into  a  great  fit 
of  melancholy,  known  as  the  Ixiuisiana  Purcluuse.  For  over  a 
century  everyone  sat  around  moping  and  refusing  his  food. 
This  torpor  was  not  lifted  until  EilTel  built  his  famous  tower, 
which  made  everybody  giggle  so  hard  th.at  today  France  is  the 
gayest  country  in  ICurope. 

Each  night  the  colorful  natives  gather  at  sidewalk  cafes  and 
shout  "Oo-la-la!"  as  Maurice  Chevalier  promenades  down  the 
Champs  Ely.sces  swinging  his  nmlacca  cane.  Then,  tired  but 
iiappy,  cycryonc  goes  to  the  lx)uvrc  for  howls  of  onion  .soup. 

The  principal  industry'  of  Fnince  is  cawhing  travellers  checks. 

Well  sir,  I  guess  that's  all  you  need  to  know  about  Fnince.

Carmelites  Support  Liberal  Arts   College 


By  Rick  Dodge 

It  will  undoubtedly  come  as  a 
surprise  to  members  of  the  Wil- 
liams community  to  learn  that 
there  is  another  liberal  arts  col- 
lege in  the  immediate  area.  But 
there  is  no  semblance  to  other  in- 
stitutions which  are  considered  to 
be  neighbors  in  Northampton,  or 
Bennington. 

This  newfound  neighbor  is  the 
Mount  Carmel  Novitiate,  a  reli- 
gious Iiouse  under  the  auspices  of 
the  Carmelite  Fathers.  The  monas- 
tery is  located  to  the  south  of 
WiUiamstown  on  Oblong  Road, 
a*id  is  on  a  hillside  offering  an 
excellent  view  of  Mount  Greylock 
and  the  surrounding  mountains. 

Sinclair  Lewis  Home 

The  site  of  the  monastery  onc:> 
belonged  to  Sinclair  Lewis,  whj 
owned  property  in  the  area  a- 
mounting  to  over  700  acres.  The 
main  house  was  the  Lewis  home 
for  .some  time,  and  was  puixhas- 
ed  from  his  estate  by  the  Carme- 
lites after  he  died  in  1951.  Several 
years  later,  a  functional  build- 
ing which  is  the  monastery  itself 
was  added.  This  building,  which 
adjoins  the  main  house,  contains 
the  cloisters,  or  living  quarters  of 
the  students,  as  well  as  a  main 
and  auxiliary  chapel,  and  recrea- 
tion rooms. 

At  present,  the  community  con- 
sists of  seven  priests,  two  novices 
and  18  brothers,  who  are  the  stu- 
dents. As  a  college,  the  Cai-melite 
monastery  is  an  affiliate  of  Saint 
Bonaventure  University,  which 
grants  B.A.  degrees  to  the 
students,  and  where  the  students 
attend  summer  school  sessions. 
The  students,  who  range  from  col- 
lege freshmen  to  postgraduate 
age  upon  entrance  into  the  mon- 
astery, generally  major  in  philoso- 
phy. 

After  he  has  received  his  bach- 
elor's degree,  the  student  goes  on 
to  take  his  master's  degree  in  his 
minor  field,  one  of  the  arts  or 
sciences,  though  usually  English, 
or    history.     Then,     as    he     ad- 


Thls  Corrtielite  Fathe 

vances  in  the  religious  order,  he 
undergoes  intensive  study  of  the- 
ology, either  in  the  United  States, 
or  abroad. 

Humanities  Curriculum 
The  curriculum  at  the  monas- 
tery covers  a  wide  range  of  cour- 
ses, with  particular  attention  paid 
to  the  humanities,  inasmuch  as 
there  are  limited  facilities  avail 
able  for  instruction  in  the  natural 
sciences.  Apart  from  philosophy, 
there  are  courses  in  Greek  and 
Latin,  as  well  as  modern  langu- 
ages, psychology,  history.  English 
literature  and  mathematics. 

The  philosophy  department, 
which  is  the  area  of  greatest  con- 
centration, offers  several  courses 
in  systematic  and  historical  phil- 


rs'  monastery   was  once  the  home  of   Sinclair   Lewis. 


osophy.  The  systematic  philosophy 
courses  are:  logic,  rational  psy- 
chology, epistemology,  metaphy- 
sics, natural  theology,  general  eth- 
ical principles  and  applied  ethics, 
and  a  course  dealing  with  nature 
and  science.  The  history  of  phil- 
osophy group  is  divided  into  the 
study  of  ancient,  medieval, 
modern  and  recent  philosophy. 
The  three  priests  who  teach  phil- 
osophy took  their  doctorates  in 
various   European  universities. 

Full  Schedule 

The  schedule  of  the  student's 
day  is  somewhat  more  organized 
than  that  of  most  college  men, 
beginning  at  5:30  in  the  morning, 
and  ending  at  10:15  in  the  even- 
ing. At  least  four  hours  every  day

is  spent  in  the  chapel,  with  sched- 
uled gatherings  from  5:45  to  6:45 
a,m.,  at  noon  before  lunch  and 
from  6:30  to  7:30  in  the  even- 
ings. There  are  various  other 
prayer  sei-vices  during  the  day  for 
individual  meditation. 

During  the  thirteen  year  period 
which  must  be  gone  through  in 
order  to  be  ordained,  an  average  of 
ninety  perecent  of  those  had  in- 
tended to  undergo  this  training 
drop  out.  They  generally  find 
themselves  not  to  be  suited  for 
this  type  of  work  with  the  Church. 
Of  those  students  who  have  pass- 
ed their  novitiate  year,  and  are 
of  college  level,  fifty  per  cent  find 
themselves  suited  and  qualified  to 
enter  the  priesthood.  These  men 
go  on  to  become  missionaries,  or 
for  the  most  part,  teachers  in 
high  schools. 

Changrlng   Scene 

The  monastery  here  in  Wil- 
liamstown  is  soon  to  become  sole- 
ly a  Novitiate  for  young  men  at 
the  very  beginning  of  their  reli- 
gious training.  Father  Anselm 
Burke,  head  of  the  Philosophy  de- 
partment who  has  lectured  here 
at  Williams,  is  moving  the  college 
in  its  entirety  to  Washington,  D. 
C.  where  the  Carmelites  are  build- 
ing a  new  religious  house  which 
will  operate  in  conjunction  with 
Catholic  University.  The  move  will 
be  carried  out  sometime  before 
September  of   1964. 

Within  the  next  decade  the 
community  may  be  expanded  to  as 
many  as  35  to  40  novices.  But  as 
a  Novitiate,  the  activities  of  the 
Order  in  this  area  will  probably 
be  more  restricted,  and  Williams- 
town  will  be  losing  a  fine  group 
of  people. 

2900  Year  History 

The  heritage  of  the  Carmelite 
Order  began  nine  hundred  years 
before  the  birth  of  Christ  at 
Mount  Carmel  in  the  Holy  Land. 
Here  the  prophet,  Elias,  proved  to 
the  Israelites  the  falsity  of  their 
god,  Baal.  Elias  became  the  lead- 
er of  the  later  Carmelites,  and  the 
Order  itself  grew  out  of  the  her- 
mits who  inhabited  the  mountain. 
These  hermits,  religious  ascetics, 
formed  a  community  which  was 
organized  by  crusaders  about  the 
middle  of  the  twelfth  century. 

In  1206,  the  Patriarch  of  Jeru- 
salem drew  up  a  summary  of  the 
practices  which  the  members  of 
the  Order  should  follow.  This 
came  to  b«  known  as  the  "Rule  of 
St.  Albert"  after  its  originator, 
and  with  some  additions  and 
changes  made  by  later  Popes,  it  is 
the  same  rule  the  Carmelites  fol- 
low today. 

The  first  Carmelites  came  to 
America  shortly  after  the  discov- 
ery of  the  continent,  and  es- 
tablished missions  in  the  Spanish 
and  French  colonies.  In  1791,  the 
first  Carmelites  arrived  In  the 
present  day  United  States,  and  es- 
tablished a  mission  in  Florida. 
Prom  this  Province  the  Carmelites 
moved  north  in  1889,  and  founded 
the  New  York  Province,  of  which 
the  monastery  In  WiUiamstown  Is 
a  part. 


Fraternity  Taxes 

Continued  from  Poge   I,  Col.    4 

It  has  been  mentioned  by  ad- 
ministration spokesmen  that  the 
college  might  pay  the  town  a  vol- 
untary amount  equivalent  to  the 
taxes  normally  paid,  reducing  this 
contribution  in  stages  until  it  dis- 
appears. 

Rlorden  stated  that  any  such 
plans  are  only  in  the  discussion- 
ary  stage.  The  Treasurer's  Office 
has  not  considered  any  such  pro- 
posal on  a  more  substantial  basis, 
and  would  not  until  the  college 
actually  acquired  such  properties. 

Would  Be  New  Policy 

Williams  College  has  not  prev- 
iously engaged  In  such  a  policy 
of  reimbursement,  probably  be- 
cause the  opportunity  for  pur- 
chasing large  amounts  of  taxable 
property  and  converting  it  into 
non-taxable  uses  rarely  presents 
itself  in  the  Village  Beautiful. 

Other  colleges  and  universities, 
especially  in  urban  areas,  regular- 
ly engage  in  such  policies.  Har- 
vard, for  example,  voluntarily 
pays  taxes  on  a  building  for  as 
long  as  25  years  after  removing 
it  from  the  tax  rolls  of  Cam- 
bridge, 

Unusual   Situation 

Because  of  the  unusual  situa- 
tion, Williams  may  well  follow 
such  policies.  They  would  apply 
only  if  the  property  were  to  be 
used  for  classes,  administration, 
or  dormitories. 

The  situation  is  especially  con- 
fusing since  the  buildings,  if  util- 
ized as  social  units,  would  be  serv- 
ing basically  the  same  func- 
tions as  they  are  now.  Only  the 
title  would  change,  but  thereby 
hangs  fifty   thousand  dollars. 

Rezoning  Difficult 

Elmer  Lamphear,  Town  Clerk, 
was  asked  about  possibilities  of 
selling  the  property  to  "outsiders,"' 
a  cour.=e  of  action  that  has  been 
muttered  by  many  a  disgruntled 
fraternity  man  and  alumnus. 

He  stated  that  the  property 
could  be  sold  and  used  only  as 
residences,  unless  rezoned.  While 
such  businesses  as  motels  are  per- 
missible in  residential  areas,  the 
application  for  rezoning  must  be 
approved  by  the  Town  Board  of 
Appeals,  which  Lamphear  serves 
as  clerk.  He  doubted  "very  serious 
ly"  that  the  Board  would  permit 
such  changes,  especially  in  view 
of  the  fact  that  one  change  could 
quickly  lead  to  14  others.

vide  tutorial  and  recreational  op-

New  Haven,  Harlem,  Philadelphia, 
Baltimore,  and  Washington. 

SNCC  Activities 

The  Student  Non-Violent  Co- 
ordinating Committee  has  gained 
nation-wide  publicity  for  its  voter 
registration  drives  in  Mississippi 
and  Georgia.  The  proceeds  from 
last  year's  successful  fund  drive 
were  directed  to  SNCC.  Their  lat- 
est project  Is  a  continuation  of 
murdered  crusader  William 
Moore's  "protest  walk"  to  Miss- 
issippi. 

The  purpose  of  the  activities  is 
to  channel  support, — moral,  phy- 
sical, and  financial,  to  the  civil 
rights  movement.  At  the  same 
time.  It  is  hoped  that  they  will 
provide  campus-wide  cognizance 
of  the  fight  for  racial  .equality.

hands  of  what,  at  times,  amounts 
to  a  single  clique  of  students. 

The  structure  at  Amherst  is 
very  similar  to  that  at  Williams, 
consisting  of  a  Student  Council 
which  is  the  counterpart  of  Wil- 
liam's College  Council  and  a  Soc- 
ial Council.  The  principle  differ- 
ence is  that  activities  such  as  the 
lecture  committee  and  student  ex- 
change programs  are  concentrat- 
ed under  the  authority  of  the 
Student  Council. 

Wesleyan  Has  Unique  System 

Wesleyan  Student  Government 
operates  within  a  structure  which 
was  only  initiated,  and  which  dif- 
fers radically  from  any  of  the 
other  three  systems  presented  at 
the  meeting.  One  elected  repre- 
sentative from  each  class,  and  a 
representative  appointed  by  the 
Inter-fraternity  Council  compose 
a  five  man  committee  which  car- 
ries out  the  responsibilities  as- 
signed to  the  College  Council  at 
Williams. 

Decisions  of  this  committee  are 
subject  to  the  direct  approval  of 
the  student  body.  If  10  per  cent 
of  the  student  body  signs  a  peti- 
tion in  disagreement  to  a  deci- 
sion, the  decision  must  be  recon- 
sidered. If  20  per  cent  sign  such 
a  petition,  the  issue  is  submitted 
to  a  school  wide  referendmn,  the 
result  of  which  is  binding.  The 
committee  itself  is  subject  to  re- 
call if  40  per  cent  of  the  stu- 
dents request  a  reelection. 

Dormitory  Hours 

In  a  side  issue,  the  student  lead- 
ers also  compared  respective  dorm- 
itory hours  as  a  measure  of  de 
facto  student  responsibility.  Buch- 
art  reported  that  Trinity  has  11:30 
hours  in  all  dorms  Friday,  Satur- 
day and  Sunday,  with  special  con- 
sideration given  for  major  week- 
ends, Amherst  has  a  standard 
12:30  curfew  on  all  Fridays  and 
Saturdays,  and  that  Wesleyan  in 
upper-class  dorms  maintains  a 
12:00  Friday  curfew,  a"  1:00  Sat- 
urday curfew,  and  a  2:00  curfew 
on  all-college  weekends. 

Both  Buchart  and  Kershaw  were 
reluctant  to  draw  any  definite  con- 
clusions from  the  information 
presented  at  the  meeting,  however, 
both  were  impressed  by  the  greater 
concentration  under  a  single  stu- 
dent group  of  power  which  at 
Williams  is  already  consigned  to 
students  and  the  climate  of  great- 
er respect  within  which  other  stu- 
dent government  organizations 
worked. 


David  M.  Pynchon,  '50,  and  As- 
sistant Director  of  Admissions  at 
Williams  from  1950  to  1956,  will 
become  the  seveath  headmaster  of 
the  Saint  IjOuIs  Country  Day 
School.  The  appointment,  effective 
in  September,  was  made  last  week; 
Pynchon  replaces  Ashby  Harper, 
who  resigned  last  November  to 
head  the  Peace  Corps  in  Guate- 
mala. 


Pynchon,  36,  is  currently  on  the 
faculty  of  PhllUpB  Academy,  An- 
dover,  where  he  is  an  instructor  in 
English,  master  of  Williams  House, 
and  coach  of  hockey  and  lacrosse. 
Before  his  Andover  appointment 
Pynchon,  in  1953-54,  studied  at 
Harvard  on  a  Danforth  Founda- 
tion grant,  doing  graduate  work 
in  English. 


As  an  undergraduate  Pynchon 
compiled  an  impressive  record  at 
Williams.  He  served  as  a  member 
of  the  Purple  Key,  Gargoyle,  the 
Honor  System  Committee;  he  was 
a  J.A.,  winner  of  the  Grosvenor 
Cup,  member  of  the  lacrosse  team 
and  captain  of  the  hockey  squad, 
and  was  also  elected  president  of 
his  fraternity.  Delta  Upsllon. 


Re-Armament . . . 

Continued   from  Page   1,  Col.   2 

Moral  Re-Armament, on  a  per- 
sonal level  rests  on  the  tenet  that 
"a  man  cannot  live  crooked,  and 
think  straight.''  A  large  portion 
of  the  audience  ridiculed  this 
seemingly  Puritanical  moral  no- 
tion. The  corrupt  right-wing  cap- 
italist in  "El  Candor,"  for  exam- 
ple, articulated  his  reformation  In 
terms  of  rejecting  tobacco,  liquor, 
and  his  mistresses. 

United  Family 

Asked  how  the  movement  can 
be  expected  to  remake  the  world. 
Dr.  Cornell  replied  that  it  must 
begin  with  the  individual  and  his 
Immediate  circle.  "A  united  family

the  weekend.  He  refused  to  say 
whether  or  not  the  new  dean 
would  come  "from  within  the 
college." 

Smart  Money 

The  smart  money  in  the  un- 
dergraduate underworld  was  re- 
ported to  favor  several  candidates. 
Joseph  A.  Kershaw,  who  returned 
from  a  four-year  hiatus  last  Sep- 
tember to  assume  the  position  of 
administrative  assistant  to  Pres- 
ident Sawyer,  was  receiving  a 
"heavy  play,"  according  to  one 
tipster. 

Also  mentioned  were  Freeman 
Poote,  professor  of  geology  and 
chairman  of  the  discipline  com- 
mittee; Robert  C.  L.  Scott,  pro- 
fessor of  history  and  former  dean 
of  freshman  and  dean  of  the  col- 
lege; and  Henry  N.  Flynt  Jr.  '43, 
assistant  dean  and  director  of 
student  aid. 

Labaree  Maybe 

Sources  somewhat  closer  to 
Hopkins  Hall  reported  Benjamin 
W.  Labaree  as  a  strong  "dark 
horse."  Labaree  will  come  to  Wil- 
liams next  year  from  Harvard  as 
associate  professor  in  history. 
More  importantly,  he  was  serv- 
ed as  Burr  Senior  Tutor  In  Win- 
throp  House  at  Harvard,  a  posi- 
tion Involving  the  administration 
of  the  more  than  300  students  In 
residence  there.  The  Administra- 
tion's fondness  for  Labaree  has 
already  been  reflected  in  his  al- 
leged appointment  as  a  faculty  as- 
sociate to  one  of  the  first  Col- 
lege social  units.

Golf  Team  Records  Four  Victories 
Squad  80  On  Season ;  Klug  Stars 


Williams'  powerful  varsity  golf 
sauad  breezed  to  its  seventh  and 
eighth  consecutive  victories  Sat- 
urday, scoring  impressive  tri- 
umphs over  Dartmouth,  5  and 
one-half  -*  1  and  one  half,  and 
Middlebury,  5-2. 

Once  again  the  Ephs  were  led 
by  the  performance  of  No.  2  man 
Tom  Klug,  who  toured  the  lengthy 
Taconic  layout  in  a  neat  76  to 
take  medalist  honors  for  the  day. 
In  beating  Dartmouth's  Rand,  5 
and  4,  and  Middlebury's  Wilson, 
3  and  1,  Klug  extended  his  two- 
year  varsity  match  record  to  a 
brilliant  22-0. 

Williams  captain  George  Kil- 
born  won  a  point  from  Dartmouth 
but  lost  to  Middlebury's  Pryber- 
ger,  2  and  1.  Long-driving  Kil- 
born  suffered  from  a  shaky  put- 
ting touch  in  registering  an  un- 
spectacular 79. 

Greenlee  Cops  Pair 

Colorful  third  man  Dick  Green- 
lee scored  a  double  victory  for  the 
Ephs,  picking  up  his  Middlebury 
point  In  a  tense  1  up  win.  Bill 
Chapman  and  Roger  Nye  also 
scored  twin  triumphs,  while  John 
Poehl  netted  a  single  win. 

Earlier  in  the  week,  Coach  Dick 


Baxter's  team  rolled  over  A.I.C., 
6-1,  and  Springfield,  7-0.  Playing 
In  poor  golf  weather,  number  one 
man  Kilborn  fired  a  creditable  79 
in  garnering  two  victories  for  the 
Ephs.  Klug  also  contributed  a 
double  win,  as  did  Chapman, 
Poehl,  Greenlee,  and  soph  Fred 
Hendler. 

Kilborn 

After  eight  victorious  matches 
Baxter  appears  to  have  come  up 
with  a  steady,  winning  combina- 
tion in  his  seven-man  lineup. 
First  man  Kilborn  has  picked  up 
points  steadily,  his  medal  rounds 
punctuated  by  a  fine  74  against 
Harvard. 

In  the  number  two  slot,  Klug 
has  also  been  a  steady  winner, 
while  the  experienced  Greenlee 
has  lost  only  once  in  eight  out- 
ings. Playing  number  four,  the 
powerful  Poehl  has  fashioned  his 
share  of  victories,  though  he  has 
yet  to  hit  mid-season  form. 

Number  five  man  Larry  Alexan- 
der has  also  been  short  of  the  peak 
he  reached  in  winning  last  fall's 
college  golf  championship.  In  the 
sixth  position,  Rog  Nye  has  yet  to 
lose,  as  does  Gary  Player's  protege 
Chapman,  playing  in  the  seventh 
spot.

A  GENUINE  FORMAL 
BUTTON-DOWN? 


Eph  Judo  Club  Cops  Western  Mass.  Senior  Title; 
Bunce  Sparks  V/ins  Over  Dalton,  Springfield  Teams 

The  Williams  Collej^e  Judo  C'lul),  iiiulernianiied  and  suHi;rinj{  from  a  lon)^  layoff  period,  deni- 
oii.strated  .smprisinj^  depth  and  technique  in  defeating  two  liiji;hly  favored  team.s  from  the  Dalton 
Judo  (;iub  and  a  team  fi'om  Sprinf^field  for  the  Western  Massachusetts  Senior  Jndo  team  champion- 
ship in  competition  held  Sunday  at  Dalton. 

The  tournament  was  highlighted  by  several  very  exciting  matches  in  whicii  the  Williams 
men  played  well  in  clutch  situations. 

In  judo  competition,  each  five-man  team  sends  its  number  five  man  to  compete  in  the  first 

match.  The  winner  remains  to 
meet  the  next  man  on  the  op- 
posing team,  and  the  process  con- 
tinues until  one  team  is  eliminat- 
ed. 

In  the  case  of  ties  in  the  in- 
dividual matches,  both  men  are 
retired  and  the  next  man  on  each 
team  plays.  To  win  in  judo  it  is 
n('ces.sary  to  complete  one  fuU- 
ijuint  throw  or  two  half-point 
llu'ows,  pin  the  opponent  for  thir- 
ty seconds,  or  force  him  into  sub- 
mission  by  a  choke. 

Face  Dalton  A 

After  Dalton 's  B  team  defeated 
Springfield,  Williams  faced  the 
pre-toui'ney  favorite,  Dalton's  A 
team.  Handicapped  by  the  absence 
of  a  fifth  man  due  to  sickness, 
hour  tests,  and  other  com- 
mitments, Williams  was  forced  to 
borrow  a  fifth  man  from  the  Dal- 
ton reserves. 

Crissey  Wins 

After  disposing  of  his  misplaced 
comrade,  Dalton's  number  five 
man  tied  Chuck  Dougherty  '66, 
eliminating  both  men.  Club  pres- 
ident and  team  captain  Paul  Cris- 
sey '64  notched  the  first  win  for 
Williams,  choking  his  opponent 
unconscious  in  an  impressive  dis- 
play of  mabwork.  • 

Crissey  then  tied  Joe  Scallse, 
1962  Northeastern  judo  champion 
in  his  weight  and  belt  division  and 
Dalton's  number  three  man. 

Bunce  Scores 

Bob  Sonderman  '66,  the  first  of 
Williams  two  brown  belt  compet- 
itors, tied  with  Dalton's  elu- 
sive number  two  man  and 
the  stage  was  set  for  Dwight 
Bunce  '63,  Williams'  top  man. 
Bunce  threw  his  opponent  with  a 
beautiful  full-point  throw  to  com- 
plete the  upset. 

In  the  consolation  round  be- 
tween Dalton's  A  team  and  the 
Springfield  club  Scalise,  starting 
for  Dalton,  demonstrated  incred- 
ible form  in  both  throwing  and 
matwork  as  he  singlehandedly  dis- 
posed of  all  five  members  of  the 
Springfield  team,  a  feat  which 
won  him  the  trophy  for  outstand- 
ing individual  performer  in  the 
meet,  barely  edging  out  Bunce's 
impressive  performance. 

Deciding  Majtch 

The  Dalton  B  team  got  off  to 
an  early  advantage  in  the  match 
for  the  title  as  their  number  five 
man  defeated  both  the  Williams 
stand-in  and  Dougherty. 

Crissey,  barely  missing  another 
choke,  settled  for  a  tie  to  put  the 
pressure  on  Sonderman  and 
Bunce.  Sonderman  handily  defeat- 
ed the  Dalton  number  four  man 
then  was  tied  by  the  number  three 
man. 

Attempted  Stall 

The  second  man  for  Williams' 
foe  attempted  to  stall  for  a  tie 
with  Bunce  and  a  victory  for  his 
team,  but  the  Williams  num- 
ber one  man  pursued  him  violent- 
ly, executing  several  near-misses 
before  throwing  his  man  cleanly 
with  seconds  to  go  in  the  match. 

Recovering  his  breath  quickly, 
Bunce  then  outclassed  the  Dalton 
captain,  winning  with  a  full-point 
throw  to  give  Williams  the  chcun- 
pionship. 

In  a  match  to  decide  overall 
tournament  champion,  Williams 
defeated  the  Junior  (16  years  and 
under)  champs  from  Dalton.  The 
fine  play  of  the  Williams  team  in 
overcoming  the  higher  ranked  and 
more  experienced  Dalton  contin- 
gents casts  a  positive  outlook  for 
the  future  of  the  club,  possessors 
of  their  first  tournament  trophy 
this  year.

in  386  fabrics,  patterns,  and  colors  it  would  have  been  unthoughtful  of 
us  not  to  make  it  an  even  387  with  this  button-cuff  buiton-down

Lacrosse  Team  Swamps  N.  H.,  9-3; 
Amiison  Stars  With  Six  Tallies 


The  Williams  lacrosse  team  fi- 
nally got  back  Into  winning  form 
Saturday  as  they  trounced  the 
University  of  New  Hampshire  9-3. 

Sparking  the  Eph  attack  was 
sophomore  Mike  Annison  who  fir- 
ed six  goals  into  the  Wildcat  net 
The  victory  was  sweet  revenge  for 
the  Ephs  who  were  upset  by  New 
Hampshire  last  year. 

Annison  put  the  Purple  in  front 
with  an  unassisted  goal  at  5:06 
of  the  first  period.  Despite  double- 
teaming,  the  high-scoring  attack- 
man  was  able  to  work  around  to 
the  front  of  the  cage  to  score. 

After  Wildcat  Mike  Eastwood 
scored  the  first  of  his  three  tallies, 
all  the  goals  New  Hampshire  got, 
Annison  went  into  action  again 
at  10:43  to  put  the  Ephs  in  front 
to  stay.  Before  the  quarter  ended, 
Bobby  Halligan  and  Annison  both 
scored  to  give  Williams  a  4-2  lead. 

The  Ephs  kept  the  pressure  on. 
With  Co-captain  Jimmy  Williams 
sparking  an  aroused  defense,  the 


Purple  stymied  the  New  Hamp- 
shire attack  and  kept  the  ball  a- 
round  the  Wildcat  cage.  In  the 
meantime.  Ron  Raines  and  An- 
nison each  picked  up  second  per 
iod  scores  to  make  it  63  at  the 
half. 

The  last  two  periods  were  all 
Williams.  With  Annison  picking  up 
three  more  goals,  one  on  a  pass 
from  Ron  Stempien,  and  Snuffy 
Leach  flipping  in  a  long  bounce 
shot  off  an  Al  Mondell  pass,  the 
Ephs  looked  better  than  they  have 
before  this  sea.son. 

Annison's  last  tally  came  on  a 
picture  play.  Halligan  took  the 
ball  on  a  quick  clear  from  the 
Wildcat  attack  and  fired  upfield 
to  Mondell  who  passed  to  Leach. 
Snuffy  flipped  the  ball  to  Anni- 
son who  was  all  alone  in  front  of 
the  cage. 

The  win  gives  the  Ephs  a  2-3 
record  on  the  year.  The  next  Wil- 
liams game  will  be  at  Wesleyan 
Saturday  as  the  Ephs  attempt  the 


first  leg 

in 

trying  to 

regain   the

Williams  Trackmen  Beat    Vermont:^ 
Deichmann^  ISeuse^  Ash^  Lead  Team 

Fair  skies  and  smiling  fortune  favored  the  varsity  trackmen  Saturday  in  Burlington,  Vermont, 
where  they  wrested  a  cliffhanger  from  the  University  of  Vermont,  74-66,  to  run  their  season  record 
to  ;3-(). 

Kei/  Individual  Performers 
The  Eph  scjuad,  liandicappcd  by  the  absence  of  key  [)erformers  Dixon,  Steward,  Marxer,  Fo.x, 
and  Dos  Reis,  was  sparked  to  victory  by  strong  individual  performances. 

Boots  Deiclimann,  high  point  man,  racked  up  eigliteen  markers,  with  his  triple  victory  in  tla- 
KM),  higli  iun-dles,  and  low  hurdles,  and  a  second  |)lacc  in  the  220. 

A.s7i  Runs  Four  Events 
Iron  man  Rick  Ash,  star  Eph  distance  man.  picked  up  eight  points  with  a  victory  in  the  mile 
and  a  second  place  finish  in  the  2  mile.  Ash,  in  a  niuclint;    niaiatlion     performance,    also    finished 

first  in  the  880,  but  was  disqual- 
ified for  stepping  on  the  grass  as 
he  attempted  to  pass  on  the  in- 
side. Ash  capped  the  day  with  a 
51.9  leg  of  the  winning  Mile  Re- 
lay. 

Captain  Karl  Neuse  picked  up 
ten  points  with  victories  in  the 
220,  and  the  440.  His  time  for  the 
quarter,  49.6,  set  a  UVM  track 
record.  Neuse  also  turned  in  a 
51.0  leg  on  the   Mile  Relay. 

The  eventual  victory  was  In 
doubt  throughout,  as  the  point  to- 
tal see-sawed  back  and  forth.  Wil- 
liams Jumped  off  to  a  quick  lead 
with  victories  In  the  Mile,  quar- 
ter and  100,  but  Vermont  grabbed 
it  back  by  sweeping  the  javelin 
and  discus,  to  go  ahead  65-61. 
with  two  events  remaining. 

Two-milers  George  Anderson 
and  Ash  then  turned  the  tables 
with  a  1-2  finish,  to  put  Wil- 
liams ahead  69-66.  This  left  the 
outcome  dependent  on  the  final 
event,  the  Mile  Relay. 

In  the  Relay  Phil  McKnighl, 
Ash,  Neuse,  and  John  Osborne 
clinched  it  for  the  Ephs  with  a 
surprisingly  easy  victory  in  a 
mediocre  time  of  3:29.6. 

The  undermanned  Ephs  copped 
only  eight  of  29  second  and  third 
places,  but  claimed  victory  by  win- 
ning eleven  of  sixteen  events.  Dave 
Kershaw  added  eight  points  to  the 
Purple  total  with  his  victory  in 
the  broad  jump,  and  a  second  in 
the  100.  Kershaw  remains  un- 
beaten in  broad-jump  competi- 
tion. 

Bob  Warner  and  John  Ho- 
henadel  won  the  hammer  and  shot 
put,  respectively.  They  also  are 
unbeaten  this  year  in  their  spec- 
ialities. Soph  Bill  Roberts  tied  for 
first  in  the  high  jump.

The  Eph  stickmen  had  a  tough 
tune  of  it  on  their  northern  and 
southern  junkets  this  past  week. 
They  Incurred  two  big  losses,  9-2 
at  the  hands  of  Dartmouth,  and 
5-2  to  Wesleyan,  but  both  games 
were  closer  than  the  scores  indi- 
cate. 

At  Dartmouth  on  'Wednesday  the 
Coombs  crew  kept  close  until  the 
late  innings.  Then,  with  the  score 
4-1  the  wi-ong  way  and  runners 
at  first  and  third  on  singles,  the 
coach  sent  In  soph  Dave  Murphy 
to  bat  for  Drott.  Mui-phy  slammed 
a  towering  double  that  left  men 
on  second  and  third  with  one  run 
scored.  Seeing  a  chance  to  tie  It 
up,  Coombs  let  Ken  Griffith 
bat  for  MilhoUand. 

Griffith  struck  out,  however, 
and  shortstop  Berry  tapped  to  the 
pitcher  to  close  out  the  Ephs'  last 
big  opportunity, 

Dartmouth     then     climbed    on 
Gagnier,  the  new  pitcher,  for  five  I 
runsln  the  eighth  frame.  The  big 


blow  was  an  error  in  right  field 
I  with   bases   full    by    Harry   Lum, 
I  who  had  just  replaced  Drott.  Gag- 
nier   got    the    side    out    after  a 
'  single,  but  the  damage  was  already 
done. 

j     Big  Bounce 

'  The  Wesleyan  game  was  even 
more  frustrating.  John  Donovan 
was  pitching  his  usual  fine  game 
with  a  two-run  lead,  when  the 
Cardinals  bunched  three  singles 
for  a  run  in  the  fourth.  Watt,  the 
centerfielder,  smacked  a  line  shot 
into  the  jlnxed  right  field  which 
seemed  to  tie  the  game.  The  ball, 
however,  ricocheted  off  the  con- 
crete hard  ground  over  Droit's 
head  for  a  home  run. 

A  passed  ball  in  the  next  inning 
tainted  Wesleyan's  final  tally.  The 
Ephs  did  not  deserve  this  game  off 
their  hitting  prowess,  however. 
Their  two  runs  in  the  first  were 
largely  gifts  via  two  walks,  one  of 
which  scored  a  run.  They  never 
moimted  a  threat  thereafter. 


Eph  Racquetmen  Down  Wesleyan ; 
Little  Three  Contest  Score  Is  7-2 


The  Eph  tennis  squad  took  its 
first  step  toward  the  Little  Three 
Championship  by  beating  Wesley- 
an here  last  Saturday,  7-2  Al- 
though Wesleyan  had  more  ma- 
terial than  in  recent  past  years 
the  Cardinals  were  no  match  for 
Coach  Chaffee's  charges. 

Westnen  Take  First  Two  Singles 
The  two  Eph  losses  were  in  the 
first  and  second  singles.  Eph  cap- 
tain Brooks  Goddard's  big  lefty 
game  wasn't  enough  against  Mike 
Burton,  as  he  lost  in  two  sets  6-4 
6-1.

Zeta  PA  Sued  By   National  In  Property  Dispute 


SC  Rejects  Revisions 

Swiftly   downing    an    outgrowth  l     The  rushing  committee  recom- 
of    liberal    revisionist    tendencies,  mended  that  the  rushing  quota  be 


the  Social  Council  rejected  three 
rushing  committee  recommenda 
tions  regarding  rushing,  social 
members,  and  next  year's  fresh- 
men in  its  meeting  Tuesday  night. 

After  much  discussion,  the  Soc- 
ial Council  discarded  a  recom- 
mendation that  houses  which 
rush  though  declaring  themselves 
social  units  and  "old  style"  fra- 
ternities be  differentiated  for  the 
purposes  of  establishing  a  rushing 
quota. 

Wait  Until  October 

Hearing  a  proposal  to  open  the 
houses  to  freshmen  after  Septem- 
ber 15,  the  terminal  date  of  rush- 
ing, the  fraternity  presidents  de- 
cided to  wait  until  October  before 
deciding  what  the  status  of  fresh- 
men vis-a-vis  fraternity  property 
would  be. 

The  Social  Council  clarified  Its 
stand  on  the  initiation  of  social 
members  into  house  membership. 
All  social  members  accepted  dur- 
ing the  '62-63  school  year  are  ell- 


established  by  dividing  the  num- 
ber of  second  session  rushees  by 
the  number  of  "old  style"  frater- 
nities rushing.  The  quota  for  the 
fraternities  rushing  though  in- 
tending to  become  social  units 
would  have  presumably  been  set 
by  the  College. 

Sterling  Report 

The  consideration  of  houses 
which  may  wish  to  continue  to 
rush  after  1963  constituted  the 
main  reason  for  postponing  the 
possibility  of  revising  the  Sterling 
Report.  The  Sterling  Report  de- 
clares that  no  unauthorized  fresh- 
man may  violate  fraternity  pro- 
perty boundaries. 

The  Social  Council  emphasized 
that  the  old  rules  regarding  social 
members  will  be  back  in  effect 
next  fall.  The  rules  stipulate  that 
members  of  one  house  may  drop 
out  of  that  house  and  become  soc- 
ial members  of,  but  not  join,  an- 
other house.  All  participants  in 
rushing   must  wait   at  least   one 


gible  to  be  initiated  into  fraternl-  semester  before  accepting  a  social 
ties  at  any  time,  '  member  bid  from  a  house. 

Professors  Probe  German  Dilemma 
In  Monday  Night  Panel  Discussion 

On  Monday  evening,  Theta  Del- 
ta Chi  presented  to  an  overflow 
audience  a  colloquium  on  the  topic 
"The  Mind  of  Germany  Today." 
Pour  Williams  professors  brought 
their  own  thoughts  and  personal 
experiences  to  bear  in  an  inform- 
ative and  lively  discussion. 


Panel  members  were  Frederick 
L.  Schuman,  Woodrow  Wilson 
Professor  of  Government,  Harlan 
P.  Hanson,  Associate  Pi'ofessor  of 
German,  John  W.  Sproat,  AsslS' 
tant  Professor  of  History,  and 
Robert  G.  L.  Waite,  Professor  of 
History. 

Professor  Schuman,  author  of 
The  Nazi  Dictatorship,  centered 
his  remarks  on  the  problem  of 
German  reunification.  Professor 
Hanson  spoke  of  the  dualistic  na- 
ture of  German  thought.  Pi-ofes- 
sor  Sproat,  who  taught  last  year 
at  the  University  of  Hamburg, 
made  observations  on  German 
youth  and  education.  Professor 
Waite,  whose  field  Is  German  his- 
tory, derived  his  remarks  in  part 
from  his  trips  to  Germany  In 
1954  and  1960. 

Professor  Schuman's  central 
thesis  was  that  the  West  wants 
a  powerful  German  ally,  setting  a 
military  tone  for  the  dispute,  and 
thereby  Inviting  opposition  from 
the    Soviets.   Schuman    suggested 


neutralization  of  Berlin  under  U. 
N.  supervision  as  a  possible  step 
towards  successful  reunification. 

Professor  Hanson  commented 
on  the  historical  basis  for  divi- 
sion in  Germany.  Most  interest- 
ingly, he  referred  to  the  "two 
languages"  of  Germany.  One  is 
rigorously  logical,  suitable  for 
doctoral  theses  and  engineers.  The 
other  is  intensely  sentimental,  ap- 
pearing In  lyric  poetry.  The  two 
languages  reflect  a  dichotomy  in 
German  thought,  of  which  there 
has  never  been  a  real  synthesis. 

Professor  Sproat  related  his  im- 
pressions of  the  German  univer- 
sities, stressing  the  "traumatic  ef- 
fect" of  the  Nazi  period.  He  was 
generally  optimistic,  however,  a- 
bout  future  prospects  for  the  Ger- 
man mind.  He  praised  the  health 
of  the  publishing  industry  and  the 
press,  and  expressed  approval  of 
student  cynicism  about  politics, 
their  healthy  skepticism  of  mili- 
tary service,  their  essential  paci- 
fism. 

Professor  Watte  was  also  optim- 
istic. He  felt  the  Bonn  democracy 
to  be  succeeding  where  Weimar 
failed  and  that  the  Germans  are 
successfully  recovering  from  "the 
enormous  trauma  of  the  Third 
Reich." 


by  Jolin  D.  Rawln 
The  Zeta  Psi  Fraternity  of  North  America  la.st  .Monday  obtained  a  coiut  order  demandinj» 
that  the  trustees  of  the  Williams  chapter  show  cau.se  a.s  to  why  they  should  he  allowed  to  lease, 
j^ive,  or  sell  the  local  group's  jiroperty  to  Williams  College.  The  order,  issued  by  New  York  State 
Supreme  Court  Justice  Thomas  A.  Amelio,  was  delivered  to  the  trustees  as  they  were  meeting  at 
the  Williams  Club  in  New  York  City. 

hi  a  statement  released  by  their  president.  David  W.  Swanson  '39,  the  trustees  said  that  they 
wer(^  "astonished"  by  the  national's  action.  "Our  actions,"  the  statement  continued,  "have  been 
solely  investigative  and  our  effort  to  determine  how  best  to  enable  Zeta  Psi  to  continue  as  a  fra- 
ternity at  Williams  under  the  new  rules  of  the  College." 

The  Williams  administration  issued  a  statement  in  wliich  it  said:  "The  ijiesent  action  is  be- 
tween the  frat(,'rnity  cha|)ter  and  its  national.  We  believe  that  few  Williams  undergraduates  or 
alumni  would  welcome  attempts  to  bring  external  coercion  to  bear  on  internal  decisions  relating 
to  the  educational  programs  of  the  college." 

In  keeping  with  its  own  advice,  the  administration  declined  fmther  eommcTit.  "The  college  is 
not  a  party  to  it  (the  lawsuit),"  said  one  spokesman,  implying  that  the  college  would  rather  not  be. 
The  suit  is  based  on  the  local  house's  charter,  reissued  in  1881,  which  states  that  "whenever 
the  said  chapter  shall  be  dissolved  or  become  extinct  then  in  such  cases  all  the  books,  papers  and 
other  property  whatsoever  of  the  said  chajiter  shall  vest  in  and  become  the  .sole  property  of  the 
Grand  Chapter,  and  the  Grand  Chapter  shall  have  possession  of  the  same  immediately  thereupon." 
The  Williams  chapter  could  be  ex|ielled  by  a  three-(jiiarters  vote  of  the  37  chapters  meeting 
in  convention  next  July.  While  a  copy  of  the  present  national  constitution  was  not  readilv  avail- 
able, an  older  one  gives  as  one  of  the  objeefives  of  Zeta  Psi  "to  provide  facilities  for  group  living 
of  its  members."  Implementation  of  the  jiresent  college  |oolicy  might  be  held  to  violate  this  jirin- 
ciple. 

The  move  caught  the  local 
chapter's  membership  by  sur- 
prise. Few  were  pleased  by  the  ac- 
tion, and  most  were  infuriated. 
Said  one  brother,  "We  didn't  even 
know  tliey  knew  we  existed."  Many 
mutters  denouncing  "the  med- 
dlers" echoed  through  the  hallow- 
ed halls.  Sighed  another  resigned- 
ly. "Now  we're  getting  it  from 
both  sides." 

Court  Order  Answered 
Last  Wednesday  John  J.  Abber- 
ley  '39,  attorney  for  the  local 
chapter,  appeared  in  court  to  an- 
swer the  show-cause  order.  Justice 
Aurelio  set  May  9  as  hearing  day 
for  the  opposing  briefs.  It  had 
been  noted  that  the  national  fra- 
ternity's counsel  was  well  prepar- 
ed with  extensive  research  in  an- 
ticipation of  the  ensuing  argu- 
ments. 

The  actual  order  was  served  on 


Gardner  Clarifies  D.  Phi  Reversal, 
Terms  'Gung-ho'  Frats  Dishonest 


By  Alan  Fincke 

In  an  inteiTiew  with  the  Record, 
Standing  Committee  Staff  Assis- 
tant D.  Gardner  voiced  his  opin- 
ions on  Delta  Phi  Upsilon  fra- 
ternity, the  administration's 
stand,  "gung-ho"  fraternities,  and 
next  year's  rushing. 

Gardner  first  stated  that  the 
meeting  April  17  was  not  of  the 
Delta  Phi  Upsilon  graduate  com- 
mittee (as  Lew  Harvey,  president 
of  that  fraternity  had  said)  but 
of  the  Graduate  Committee  on 
Social  Units.  This  ironically  nam- 
ed committee  meets  monthly  and 
consists  of  representatives  of  all 
fifteen  Williams  fraternities. 

"The  group  has  no  power," 
Gardner  explained.  "It  has  only 
assumed  added  importance  in  the 
recent  situation.  They  usually 
have  college  representatives  at 
these  meetings;  this  time  it  was 
Mr.  Foehl,  Mr.  Banks,  Mr.  Flynt. 
and  I  think  another  trustee." 

Charles  A.  Foehl  '32  is  treasurer 
of  the  college;  Talcott  M.  Banks 
'28  is  a  member  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees  and  head  of  the  Stand- 
ing Committee;  and  Henry  N. 
Flynt,  '16  is  senior  member  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees. 

Gardner  asserted  that  Foehl's 
inability  to  answer  the  question 
as  to  how  many  freshmen  were 
going  into  the  social  units  "was 
unfortunate  but  was  exaggerated 
to  the  point  of  ridiculousness.  You 
don't  decide  the  future  of  a  fra- 
ternity on  something  as  little  as 
that,''  he  said. 

"If  Harvey  is  interested  in  con- 
cise, str,aightforward  answers,  he 
should  come  and  see  the  right 
people.  I  haven't  seen  him  in  two 
months,"  Gardner  added. 

"Delta  Phi  has  been  jumping  all 
over  the  lot,"  Gardner  went  on  to 
say.  It  seems  that  last  fall  its 
Alumni  Board  of  Directors  voted 
to  transfer  their  property  to  the 
college  but  reversed  their  decision 
after  a  letter  of  protest  from  the 
undergraduates.  Now  the  under- 
graduates voted  the  identical  mo- 
tion but  then  reversed  themselves. 

Fraternities   Unrealistic     ' 

Concerning  all  fraternities  plan- 
ning to  stick  it  out,  Gardner  said 
they  were  "more  hopeful  than 
realistic"  about  solving  their  fin- 
ancial problems.  He  was  puzzled 
about  Lew  Harvey's  "new  source 
of  money"  since  "this  is  some- 
thing that  even  the  Delta  Phi 
trustees  know  nothing  about." 


Gardner  made  clear  the  College 
was  not  disturbed  by  the  D.  Phi 
reversal.  In  fact  the  administra- 
tion has  been  surprised  at  the 
number  of  fraternities  which  have 
already  shown  a  spirit  of  coopera 
tion.  "Anywhere  from  three  to  six 
or  seven  have  been  strongly  in- 
terested in  moving  into  the  new 
system  next  year,"  he  said. 

He  added,  "I  think  you  and  the 
whole  campus  should  understand 
that  even  if  no  fraternities  co- 
operated and  only  40  people  signed 
up  for  the  social  units,  the  college 
would  not  be  deterred  from  its 
program.'" 

"Gung-Ho"  Fraternities  Dis- 
honest 

Gardner  then  focused  his  at- 
tention on  what  he  terms  "gung- 
ho"  fraternities  and  rushing  next 
year.  He  advised  .sophomores  to 
join  only  the  fraternities  which 
were  planning  to  sponsor  a  social 
unit.  "Fraternities  not  complying 
with  the  college  are  in  danger," 
he  commented. 

Some  "g  u  n  g-ho"  fraternities 
are  putting  up  this  front  to  at- 
tract "gung-ho"  .sophomores  for 
rushing  without  telling  them  that 
their  alumni  intend  to  cooperate 
with  the  College.  This  to  Gardner 
"is  a  little  less  than   honesty." 

The  administrative  liason  con- 
cluded the  interview  remarking  on 
the  unpopularity  of  College  policy 
among  the  undergraduates,  "We're 
under  fire  from  the  liberal  as  well 
as  conservative  side."  he  smiled. 
"Most  of  the  time  .vou  just  can't 
win."

Editorial 

The  Trustees  Come  To  Town 

It  Is  nice  that  the  Trustees  are  convening  in  Willlamstown  this 
weekend,  not  only  because  it  is  so  pleasant  to  be  in  the  Berkshires 
now  that  Spring  is  upon  us,  but  because  there  are  several  important 
matters  which  demand  their  immediate  and  undivided  attention. 
Anything  that  the  Trustees  do  is  of  great  importance,  because,  if 
one  is  to  believe  everything  he  hears,  nothing  at  all  of  any  impor- 
tance can  be  accomplished  without  either  their  initiative  or  their  i 
approval.  The  Tru.slees  could  do  a  great  deal  to  dispel  the  aura  of 
gloom  which  has  fallen  on  the  campus,  and  which  shows  signs  of 
deepening. 

Perhaps  the  Trustees  need  to  clarify  themselves  on  certain  is- 
sues, or  perhaps  they  need  to  employ  more  cogent  interlocutors,  be- 
cause, at  this  point,  there  is  a  feeling  of  distrust  among  the  under- 
graduates concerning  the  period  of  transition  and  ultimately  the 
future.  It  is  difficult  to  define  this  quality  of  uneasiness,  but  it 
is  there,  make  no  mistake  about  it;  the  consensus  is  that  somebody 
upstairs  is  a  bungler  of  some  proportion,  and  this  is  not  just  a  con- 
sensus of  the  "reactionary"  elements.  Claims  of  "administrative 
hedging"  are  prevalent  and  marginal  houses — those  like  Delta  Phi 
which  had  considered  turning  its  property  over  to  the  college  for  a 
social  unit — are  liesitant  about  making  such  a  commitment  when 
the  administration  keeps  changing  its  collective  mind. 

Several  months  ago,  THE  RECORD  saw  fit  to  chide  the  ad- 
ministration for  its  vagueness  and  the  administration,  although 
perhaps  not  as  a  direct  response,  released  a  schedule,  which  was  a 
fine  thing  to  do.  Now  it  seems  that  we  are  about  to  start  the 
whole  thing  all  over  again  because  certain  procedures,  particularly 
those  involving  the  rights  of  the  students  in  the  supervision  of  the 
new  social  unit,  have  been  altered.  In  an  undertaking  of  such  mag- 
nitude as  the  transition,  it  is  expected  that  a  few  mistakes  will  be 
made,  hopefully  due  to  an  excess  of  enthusiasm,  but  to  keep  mak- 
ing the  same  mistakes,  and  to  retreat  into  vagueness  and  uncer- 
tainty is  inexcusable.  There  is,  in  other  words,  a  limit  to  flexibility 
and  it  the  powers-that-be  think  that  everything  will  simply  fall  into 
place  if  they  keep  quiet  about  the  whole  affair,  they  are  sadly  mis- 
taken. 

The  most  distressing  aspect  is  that,  as  the  college  enters  what 
may  be  a  new  era,  they  are  building  on  a  foundation  which  every- 
one is  sure  exists,  but  which  no  one  has  bothered  to  articulate.  To 
put  it  plainly,  Williams  does  not  seem  to  have  any  idea  of  itself 
as  a  college.  What  is  its  purpose  in  Its  education  of  the  students? 
What  rights  are  within  the  realm  of  student  responsibility?  Is  there 
any  purpose  to  Williams  or  is  it  simply  drifting  along  as  best  it 
can?  Is  there  a  philosophy  of  education  underneath  all  of  the 
changes? 

If  the  Trustees  were  really  serious  about  breaking  with  the  past 
when  they  issued  the  Angevine  Reports,  and  our  sense  of  humor  is 
strained  to  see  any  joke  about  it.  then  a  full  consideration  should 
be  given  to  other  policies  of  the  college.  Admissions  should  be  eval- 
uated, to  see  if  the  college  is  really  admitting  a  more  promising  sort 
of  student.  Calendar  and  curriculum  changes  being  discussed  by  the 
faculty  should  be  studied,  so  that  as  little  time  as  possible  will  be 
wasted  before  Williams  becomes  a  truly  contemporary,  in  the  best 
sense  of  the  word,  educational  institution.  Most  importantly,  the  role 
of  the  students  must  be  considered. 

The  glorious  aspect  of  the  future  was  the  prospect  of  increased 
student  responsibility,  with  new  avenues  being  opened  for  student 
initiative.  Now  the  road  seems  rutted  with  prevarication  and  am- 
biguities, perpetrated  on  the  students  in  a  manner  that  they  do  not 
like;  there  is,  as  one  has  said  it,  a  catch  behind  most  of  the  claus- 
es. What  the  students  fear  more  than  anything  else  is  administra- 
tive paternalism  and  they  will  defy  any  attempt  to  use  the  new 
system  for  increased  supervision.  Any  action  against  senseless  con- 
straints and  foolish  limitation  is  certainly  not  "irresponsible,"  as 
some   would  maintain.  — BARRY

Letter 

Beta  Trustees  Reject 
House  Turnover  Idea, 
Believe  In  Frat  Life 

To   the  Editor: 

The  following  is  the  resolution 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  BetiJ 
Theta  Pi: 

1.  We  will  not  under  present 
circumstances  turn  the  chapter 
house  over  to  the  College. 

2.  We  respectfully  believe  that 
fraternities,  and  especially  this 
fraternity,  do  have  and  can  con- 
tinue to  have  a  projier  place  in 
the  Williams  College  life,  and, 
with  proper  guidance,  are  capable 
of  positive  contributions  to  the 
advancement  of  the  educational 
ideals  to  which  Williams  College 
is  dedicated. 

3.  We  shall  join  with  other 
college  groups  in  urging  and 
prompting  a  rational  construc- 
tive, and  workable  solution  to  the 
social,  intellectual,  and  academic 
pioblems  we  now  face. 

4.  We  shall  support  our  under- 
graduate chapter  in  working  to- 
ward such  a  solution. 

This  Resolution  adopted  March 
6,  1963. 


Robot  Story  Writer  Asimov  Lectures 
On  Translating  Science  To  English 


Lsaac  Asimov,  the  acknowledg- 
ed master  of  the  robot  story  in 
science  fiction,  will  discuss 
"Translating  Science  Into  Eng- 
lish" at  a  lecture  next  Tuesday 
night  at  8  in  Jesup  Hall  of  Wil- 
liams College.  The  speech  will  be 
sponsored  by  the  Williams  Lec- 
ture Committee.  There  is  no 
charge  for  admission  and  the  pub- 
lic   is    invited. 

Asimov 's  fame  in  science  fiction 
is  based  on  authorship  of  52  bDOks 
but  in  recent  years  he  has  turned 
to  more  factual  writing  and  h.-x= 
become  a  distinguished  popular 
historian  of  science.  He  has  a  doc- 
torate in  chemistry  and  is  an  as- 
sociate professor  at  Boston  Uni- 
versity. 

His  Uterary  achievements  in  the 
factual  field  include  authorship  of 
"Building  Blocks  of  the  Universe," 
which  earned  him  the  1957  Thom- 
as Alva  Edison  Foundation  a-

TDX  To  Keep  Frat  On  Campus 


As  president  of  the  THETA 
DELTA  CHI  ASSOCIATION  OP 
WILLIAMS  COLLEGE  and  a 
member  of  its  Board  of  Trustees, 
I  feel  that  it  is  important  to  make 
our  position  on  the  future  of  our 
fraternity   clear   to  all  concerned. 

For  many  years  our  Ti'ustees 
have  seen  a  real  deficiency  in  the 
Williams  social  system,  in  that  it 
did  not  provide  a  decent  alter- 
native to  the  fraternities.  We  are 
now  genuinely  pleased  with  the 
availability  of  the  social  units 
and  even  though  they  are  too  late 
arriving  on  the  scene,  we  wish 
them  the  very  best  of  luck.  As  a 
measure  of  their  strength,  we  note 
that  the  new  units  were  chosen 
by  a  number  of  fraternity  mem- 
bers, including  some  outstanding 
men  from  Theta  Delta  Chi;  we 
feel  that  these  actions,  based  up- 
on conviction,  foreshadow  an  ex- 
cellent turn  of  events. 

We  have  recently  been  led  to 
understand  that  a  number  of  the 
present  fraternities  are  making 
plans  to  become  social  units,  eith- 
er before  or  shortly  after  the  be- 
ginning of  the  forthcoming  fall 
term.  We  have  heard  that  a  few 
houses  even  intend  to  discontinue 
their  existence  on  the  campus.  Be- 
cause of  the.se  semi-announced 
plans  and  the  possible  resulting 
confusion,  we  feel  that  It  Is  de- 
sirable for   the  TDX  Association 


to    make    its  position    and   policy 
clear. 

The  Theta  Delta  Chi  trustees, 
on  April  20,  1963,  voted  to  con- 
tinue Theta  Delta  Chi  on  the 
campus  as  a  fraternity  and  to 
continue  the  fraternity  in  ouz'  own 
facilities  on  Park  Street.  We  have 
carefully  reviewed  the  college's 
plans  for  us  to  sponsor  a  social 
unit,  and  we  have  decided  against 
it.  We  can  provide  the  same  guar- 
antees to  our  TDX  undergradu- 
ates of  continued  use  of  the  facil- 
ities, while  at  the  same  time  con- 
tinuing a  real  fraternity  with 
what  that  implies.  One  measure  of 
the  guarantee  which  we  intend  to 
provide,  is  that  we  will  subsidize 
our  undergraduates  on  their  room 
and  board  bills,  so  that  we  will 
remain  competitive  financially. 

We  believe  that  there  will  be  a 
place  on  the  campus  for  fraterni- 
ties whose  members  find  some  en- 
joyment and  benefit  in  their  vol- 
untary association.  It  is  our  in- 
tent to  provide  to  the  undergrad- 
uate an  opportunity  for  this  as- 
sociation by  remaining  at  Wil- 
liams in  our  present  location  for 
as  long  as  a  practical  need  and 
desire  exists.

and  was  graduated  from  the  Yale 
Divinity  School  (B.D.)  in  1955.  He

He  has  a  seven-year  record  of 
public  service.  During  World  War 
11  he  was  a  liaison  officer  for  the 
U.S.  in  Prance;  ("You  can  throw 
in  something  about  being  a  para- 
trooper for  a  little  excitement,"  he 
told  a  Record  reporter  in  the  fall 
of  1957. )_He  stayed  with  the  Army 
for  two  years  after  the  war  end- 
ed as  a  Russian  liaison  man. 

After  a  break  for  education  he 
Joined  the  CIA  as  an  expert  on

eral languages  as  a  result  of  his 
Army  experiences. 

Following  his  term  at  Williams. 
Coffin  went  to  Yale  as  Chaplain, 
a  position    he  has  held  since.

secretary,  Sharon  Jeffries,  campus 
coordinator,  and  Kaye  Grossman^ 
the  movement's  secretary. 

Countryman's  first  involvement 
with  the  civil  rights  movement 
came  two  years  ago  when  he  was 
made  chairman  of  a  New  England 
Student  Christian  Movement 
committee  to  aid  the  Freedom 
Riders  in  the  South.  That  sum- 
mer he  lived  and  worked  in  a 
Chicago  slum,  and  that  fall,  he 
persuaded  the  group  to  turn  it- 
self into  a  permanent  organiza- 
tion that  would  coordinate  civil 
rights  activities  on  Northern  cam- 
puses, 

NSM  Founded 

Thus,  the  Northern  Student 
Movement  was  bom  and  Country- 
man became  its  first  head.  He 
would  normally  be  a  senior  at 
Yale  this  year,  majoring  in  phil- 
osophy, but  the  success  of  NSM 
has  turned  it  into  a  full-time  op- 
eration for  him  and  his  wife, 
Joan,  a  graduate  of  Sarah  Law- 
rence. Recently  a  new  member  was 
added  to  the  Countryman  family, 
a  young  son  named  Matthew 
John. 

Countryman  traces  his  initial 
commitment  to  the  civil  rights 
struggle  back  to  a  meeting  he  at- 
tended at  which  three  Virginia 
girls  described  their  part  in  a  sit- 
in.  "I  was  very  impressed  with 
their  honesty  and  Integrity  and 
sacrifice,"  he  reports,  "It  made 
the  academic  world  seem  pretty 
sterile,  and  I  decided  I  had  to  do 
something.'' 

Since  then  his  time  has  been 
spent  organizing  the  tutorial  pro- 
jects, coordinating  campus  groups, 
and  trying  to  coerce  foundations 
into  contributing  to  NSM's  seem- 
ingly bright  future.  And  as  an 
article  in  the  Reporter  says,  "To  a 
considerable  degree  the  NSM  is 
cast  in  the  image  of  Peter  Coun- 
tryman, Its  executive  director." 


NSM  Leads  Attacks 
On  Racial  Inequality, 
Prejudice    In    North 

A  lengthy  article  in  a  recent  is- 
sue of  the  Reporter  described  the 
Northern  Student  Movement  as 
"a  loose  federation  of  college  civil 
rights  groups  which  now  has  a- 
bout  1,200  members  on  65  Eastern 
campuses.  Most  of  its  members  are 
white,  like  the  colleges  they  come 
from,  but  its  leadership  is  more 
equally   biracial." 

Located  just  down  the  street 
from  the  aristocratic  Skull  and 
Bones  society  at  Yale,  NSM,  under 
the  leadership  of  Peter  Country- 
man, has  emerged  as  the  most 
significant  channel  in  the  North 
for  student  interest  in  civil  rights. 
In  accord  with  their  general  pur- 
pose, the  creation  and  develop- 
ment of  leadership  and  self- 
esteem  in  Northern  Negro  ghettos, 
they  have  organized  a  network  of 
tutorial  projects  and  community 
activities  that  utihze  the  time  and 
talents  of  college  students  in  an 
effort  to  provide  racial  equality. 
They  have  raised  funds  for  stu- 
dent projects  in  the  South  and 
have  been  instrumental  in  secur- 
ing fair  employment  and  housing 
opportunities  for  several  Negro 
communities. 

History 

NSM  grew  out  of  a  New  England 
Student  Christian  Movement  pro- 
posal to  raise  money  for  the 
Freedom  Riders  in  the  South.  Un- 
der the  influence  of  Countryman, 
the  group  became  a  permanent, 
secular  organization  that  would 
coordinate  activities  on  Northern 
campuses.  Since  that  time  a  year 
ago,  the  idea  of  a  Northern  civil 
rights  movement  has  taken  hold, 
and  NSM  has   branched  out  into 

Continued  on  Page  4,  Col.  4 


The  drive  will  be  conducted  by 
representatives  from  each  frater- 
nity and  freshman  entry  who  will 
approach  each  student  individual- 
ly and  confront  him  with  the  sig- 
nificance of  the  student  group.s 
in  the  civil  rights  struggle.  Half 
of  the  money  will  go  to  NSM  and 
half  to  SNCC.  Opportunities  for 
parents  to  contribute  will  be  made 
available  over  Parents'  Weekend. 

Town  and  Gown 

Members  of  the  faculty  will  also 
be  asked  to  contribute,  as  will  the 
merchants  of  Williamstown.  A 
concerted  effort  is  being  made  to 
include  every  member  of  the  Wil- 
liams community  in  the  search 
for  funds. 

The  activities  of  both  NSM  and 
SNCC  liave  been  outlined  else- 
where in  this  issue  of  the  Record. 
To  carry  out  these  programs, 
money  is  desperately  needed.  A 
recent  statement  in  the  NSM  News 
said,  "We  can  stay  alive  on  a 
hand-to-mouth  basis,  but  there  is 
little  room  now  for  expansion." 

SNCC  Pleads 

The  SNOC  publication.  The 
Student  Voice,  has  also  made 
pleas  for  financial  support.  "We 
are  not  asking  for  munificent 
funds  for  lavish  equipment:  we 
are  asking  for  funds  to  feed  and 
clothe  those  students  who  believe 
in  mankind's  best  dreams  enough 
to  risk  their  lives  every  day." 

A  fund  drive  conducted  on  the 
Williams  campus  last  spring  net- 
ted more  than  $2,000  for  SNCC. 

Contributions  should  be  in  cash 
or  checks  made  out  to  the  Wil- 
liams Civil  Rights  Committee.  Any 
questions  about  the  drive  should 
be  directed  to  Rich  Lyon  '64,  Steve 
Block  '65,  or  Jay  Davis  '65. 


One  of  the  most  significant  ef- 
forts undertaken  by  the  civil 
rights  movement  is  in  the  area  of 
voter  registration.  Believing  that 
Negroes  can  extricate  themselves 
from  the  thralls  of  segregation  by 
the  power  of  the  vote,  time,  money 
and  lives  iiave  been  spent  to  se- 
cure the  right  to  vote  for  the  Ne- 
gro. The  main  voice  in  Southern 
voter  registration  campaigns  has 
been  that  of  the  Student  Non-Vi- 
olent Coordinating  Committee. 

Formed  two  years  ago  as  a 
spontaneous  response  to  student 
civil  rights  activities,  SNCC  start- 
ed as  a  coordinating  agency  for 
Southern  campuses.  When  the 
need  for  direct  action  presented 
itself  as  more  important  than 
group  organization,  SNCC  became 
a  small  core  of  active  demonstra- 
tors. 

SNCC  has  the  primary  purpose 
of  activating  the  Negro  population 
of  the  South.  In  such  cities  as 
Albany,  Ga.  and  Greenwood. 
Miss.,  they  have  achieved  some 
degree  of  unity  and  support  by 
providing  opportunities  for  direct 
action.  "We  are  not  supermen," 
they  say.  "We  are  only  young  peo- 
ple with  a  determination  to  be 
FREE    and    to    be    FREE   NOW!" 

Beaten  and  Harrassed 

For  their  pains  SNCC  workers 
are  constantly  harrassed  and 
beaten.  Last  month  20  year-old 
Jimmy  Travis  wa-s  shot  and  criti- 
cally wounded  by  Southern 
whites  in  Leflore  County,  Miss. 
Trinity's  Jack  Chatfield  was  shot 
twice  in  the  arm  last  summer.  Yet 
SNCC  workers  go  on  passively 
demonstrating      their     conviction

WCRC  Sets  $2500  Fund  Goal 
In  Drive  To  Assist  NSM,  SNCC 


The  major  excitement  of  the 
NSM  office  the  past  few  months 
has  been  planning  for  the  tutorial 
projects  that  will  occupy  the  time 
and  talents  of  approximately  450 
college  students  this  summer.  Six 
Northern  cities,  Boston,  Hartford, 
New  York,  Baltimore,  Philadel- 
phia and  Washington,  will  be  the 
sites  for  the  projects  to  bring  ed- 
ucational and  recreational  oppor- 
tunities to  Negro  youths. 

Part  of  the  Williams  Civil 
Rights  Committee's  activities  of 
the  next  week  will  be  the  recruit- 
ment of  Williams  students  to  offer 
volunteer  services  to  the  projects. 
Part-time  helpers  are  needed  to 
work  two  or  four  hom's  a  week 
either  tutoring  or  supei-vlslng 
games  with  Negro  neighborhood 
children. 

Ephs  Participate 

Last  summer  NSM  organized 
and  ran  successful  tutorials  in 
North  Philadelphia  and  Harlem. 
Alan  Schlosser  '63,  Roger  Warren 
'63,  Gordon  Davis  '63,  and  Steve 
Block  '65  worked  on  the  Harlem 
program,  and  Andy  Wells  '65  did 
volunteer  work  for  the  Philadel- 
phia group.  These  two  exper- 
iments were  successful  enough  to 
warrant  their  continuation 
through  the  school  year.  The  Har- 
lem project,  organized  by  Bob  Ad- 
ler  '61,  now  boasts  over  1,000  high 
school  members.

or  on  the  playgrounds. 

Purpose  and  Problem 

The  purpose  of  the  projects  is  to 
create  conditions  conducive  to 
stimulation  and  achievement.  Pet- 
er   Countryman's    description    of 


vironment  of  the  community  it- 
self the  educational  system  pro- 
duces an  atmosphere  almost  com- 
pletely void  of  stimulus  for  the 
individual  student."  By  aiding  the 
student  academically  in  the  con- 
text of  a  personal  relationship, 
some  desire  and  hope  is  provided.

May'  5  and  6  to  outline  the  pro- 
cedures of  the  projects.  The  Civil

The  Death  Of  William  Moore 

When  William  Moore  began  to  walk  from  Baltimore  to  Missis- 
sippi, he  must  have  presented  a  slightly  ludicrous  figure;  a  post- 
man, on  vacation,  trundling  a  shopping  cart,  containing  his  clothes 
and  a  diary,  along  the  highways  of  the  South.  There  is  generally 
a  distaste  foi'  such  crusades  and  postmen  are  hardly  heroic  fig- 
ures, so  it  seems  conceivable  that  William  Moore's  mission  might 
have  passed  unnoticed,  had  not  two  assailants  brutally  shot  him 
to  deatli  on  a  deserted  highway  in  Alabama. 

It  will  be  a  comment  on  the  United  States  if  ]oeople  remain 
indifferent  to  such  an  act  of  violence  as  the  shooting  of  William 
Moore.  Perbai^s,  when  the  activities  of  this  decade  are  nothing 
more  than  text  in  the  history  books  and  memories  in  the  minds 
of  old  men,  the  shooting  will  be  looked  upon  as  significant,  in 
that  it  awakened  a  callous  country  to  the  waywardness  of  cer- 
tain individuals,  and  indeed,  to  a  section  of  America  which  Allen 
Tate  has  called  "Uncle  Sam's  other  country." 

To  demand  the  death  penalty,  or  some  other  such  "ultimate 
retribution"  for  the  assailants  is  not  the  answer,  for  they  are  sim- 
ply products  of  their  environment,  and  therefore  bear  no  more 
guilt  than  the  otlier  inhabitants,  and  particularly  the  leaders,  of 
the  Soiitli.  Men  like  Ross  Baniett  and  Orval  Faubus  are  as  guilty 
for  William  Moore's  death  as  the  two  assailants. 

The  assailants  will  be  caught,  for  even  Southern  sensibilities 
have  been  somewhat  jarred;  several  state  officials  in  Alabama, 
will  wonders  never  cease,  offered  rewards  and  jDrotestations  of 
outrage.  But  the  murder  is  a  symptom  of  the  feeling  with  which 
the  state  officials  are  obviously  in  complete  sympatliy,  or  else 
they  just  wouldn't  be  Alabama  state  officials.  The  syni|5tom  may 
be  cured,  but  the  disease  will  persist  for  many  years  to  come. 

Most  of  the  South,  if  we  are  to  believe  those  pettifogs  who 
are  elected  to  public  office,  are  incensed  at  the  interference  from 
"those  damn  Yankees,"  but  the  fact  is  obvious  tliat  there  is  a  de- 
termination in  the  South  to  deny  at  least  constitutional  rights  to 
minority  groiijis;  a  reactionary  official  may  deny  a  Negro  the  right 
to  marry  his  sister,  but  he  cannot  deny  him  the  right  to  vote.  All 
of  this  resistance  has  been  quiet,  until  recently,  when  movements 
like  the  Northern  Student  Movement  and  the  Student  Nonviolent 
Co-ordinating  Committee  organized  into  active  forces,  and  when 
men  like  Martin  Luther  King  and  William  Coffin,  who  risked  cen- 
sure and  dismissal  from  Yale  to  ride  a  freedom  bus,  have  attracted 
attention  to  the  critical  situation  in  the  South.  Most  Americans 
iye  so  jaded  that  unless  an  event  is  sjiattered  with  blood,  it  re- 
ceives little  more  than  passing  mention  in  the  press  and  a  word  in 
passing  in  a  conversation. 

It  is  the  purpose  of  groups  like  NSM  and  SNCC  to  keep 
people  aware  of  tlie  unspectacular  injustices  and  to  protest  them 
by  equally  colorless,  but  still  effective  means.  By  organizing 
well-publicized  freedom  rides,  or  by  doing  simple  and  often 
dreary  work,  such  as  collecting  funds,  NSM  and  SNCC  are  sei-ving 
an  invaluable  function.  A  contribution  to  their  campaign  this 
week  would  be  the  opportunity  to  evidence  concern,  or,  in  some 
cases,  to  expiate  a  guilty  conscience. 

The  promise  which  many  Southern  states  have  .shown  in 
treatment  of  minority  groups  has  been  all  but  negated  by  the 
obstinacy  of  their  compatriots  under  the  Stars  and  Bars.  The  cam- 
paign will  continue,  and  it  is  organization.s  like  NSM  and  SNCC 
that  will  help  to  lead.

Seek  Recognition 

The  first  action  of  the  new 
committee  will  be  to  seek  official 
recognition  from  the  College.  Dur- 
ing its  brief,  one-year  existence, 
It  has  functioned  as  an  unaffili- 
ated organization.  To  add  to  Its 
new  permanence,  a  civil  rights 
reading  and  conference  room  has 
been  established  In  the  chapel 
lower.  The  room  will  house  the 
group's  large  collection  of  relevant 
publications. 

'  Plans  for  nejct  year  are  ambi- 
tious. Peeling  the  need  for  student 
education  as  to  the  many  Implica- 
tions of  the  race  Issue,  the  com- 
mittee will  sponsor  a  seminar  on 
race  relations  to  be  run  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Cha'Pel  Board.  It 
is  hoped  that  the  group  will  meet 
for  a  longer  period  of  time  than 
the  regular  chapel  study  groups 
and  that  eventually  a  course  of 
this  type  will  be  included  in  the 
regular  curriculum. 

Admissions  Policy 

Another  field  activity  will  con- 
cern the  admission  of  Negroes  to 
Williams.  Of  469  acceptances  for 
the  Class  of  1967,  only  four  were 
Negroes.  Members  of  the  commit- 
tee living  in  large  cities  this  sum- 
mer will  make  an  effort  to  become 
acquainted  with  qualified  Negro 
high  school  students  and,  in  turn, 
make  them  aware  of  the  existence 
of  Williams. 

After  the  original  contact  has 
been  made,  the  Williams  men  will 
create  opportunities  for  the  stu- 
dents to  come  to  Williams  for  a 
weekend  and  view  the  Berkshires 
and  environs.  It  is  hoped  that 
this  informal,  unofficial  activity 
will  increase  the  number  of  qual- 
ified Negro  applicants  to  Williams. 

Exchange  Programs 

The  great  success  of  the  How- 
ard and  Morehouse  exchange  pro- 
grams offers  another  field  of  ac- 
tivity. In  the  past,  only  four  to 
six  students  from  each  school 
have  participated,  and  there  has 
only  been  contact  with  one  school 
per  year.  The  unique  advantages 
that  programs  of  this  sort  offer 
make  it  advantageous  to  expand 
the  number  of  students  and  ed- 
ucational   institutions   involved. 

The  most  exciting  proposal  is 
still  embryonic.  A  fall  conference 
featuring  leaders  in  the  civil 
rights  movement  is  being  planned. 
Very  tentative  arrangements  cen- 
ter around  the  concept  of  "White 
America?"  It  is  hoped  that  Mi- 
chael Harrington,  author  of  The 
Other  America,  will  discuss  the 
status  of  White  America;  Mal- 
colm X,  leader  of  the  Black  Mus- 
lim movement,  will  talk  on  "Black 
America;"'  and  novelist-essayist 
James  Baldwin  will  offer  the  de- 
sired solution  of  black  and  white 
America. 

Conference  Plans  ' 

After  the  Initial  addresses,  stu- 
dents would  gather  in  seminars, 
led  by  prominent  civil  rights  lead- 
ers, to  discuss  the  implications  ol 
the  speeches.  Entertaiimient 
would  be  provided  for  Saturday 
night.  The  date  of  the  conference, 
as  yet  undetermined,  will  probably 
fall   on   an  off-football  weekend. 

This  year  the  committee  ran  a 
successful  Election  Day  drive  that 
netted  $340  for  SNOC's  voter  reg- 
istration program  in  the  South. 
It  has  alsd  established  commim- 
icatlons  with  leading  civil  rights 
groups  and  sent  representatives  to 
NSM  conferences.  The  group  has 
worked  with  the  admissions  de- 
partment and  the  Chapel  Board 
In  an  attempt  to  educate  Williams 
students  to  the  meaning  of  the 
civil  rights  movement.

CIVIL  RIGHTS  COMMITTEE  OFFICERS  pictured  in  their  new  room  in  Chapel

several  Northern  ghetto  communi- 
ties. 

While  the  major  emphasis  has 
been  placed  on  the  successful  tu- 
torial and  recreational  projects, 
individual  branches  of  the  New 
Haven  office  have  taken  the  in- 
itiative in  selective  patronage 
campaigns  in  demands  for  fair 
rent  and  housing  practices,  and 
in  reevaluations  of  the  cities  ed- 
cuational  systems.  The  Hartford, 
Conn.,  office,  for  example,  has 
secured  jobs  for  Negroes  in  the 
previously  all-white  Sealtest  and 
Hood  milk  companies. 

Philosophy 

Countryman  explained  recently 
that,  "We  had  a  vision  of  an  in- 
tegrated society,  a  society  with 
social  institutions  extremely  sen- 
sitive to  Individual  problems.''  To 
get  Northern  students  to  lead  the 


SNCC  .  .  .

that  the  Negro  deserves  equal 
rights.  The  35  SNCC  field  secre- 
taries pick  cotton  and  scrub  floors 
to  survive.  But  their  work  con- 
tinues. 

SNCC's  latest  activity  is  a  con- 
tinuation of  murdered  crusader 
William  Moore's  "integration 
march"  to  Jackson,  Miss.  Walking 
from  Memphis,  Tenn.  to  Jackson, 
Miss.,  they  will  present  Mississip- 
pi Governor  Ploss  Barnett  with  a 
letter  asking  for  integration. 

SNCC's  main  concentration  of 
energy  has  been  in  Albany  and 
Greenwood.  There,  under  constant 
threats  of  Intimidation,  they  can- 
vass the  adult  Negro  population 
for  potential  voters.  Because  of 
the  stringent  literacy  tests  applied 
to  Negroes,  they  then  run  schools 
to  help  them  learn  the  subtle  nu- 
ances of  the  state  constitution. 
When  a  significant  force  has  been 
mustered,  they  march  to  the  town 
hall  to  register. 

In  Greenwood  dogs  were  used 
to  keep  the  Negroes  from  the  hall, 
caushig  comedian  Dick  Gregory 
to  remark.  "It's  worse  than  Rus- 
sia." Sometimes,  as  in  the  case 
of  Herbert  Lee,  the  prospective 
Negro  voters  are  shot  and  killed. 
But  more  often  the  Negroes  are 
registered  and  hope  increases. 

Last  year's  Civil  Rights  Com- 
mittee Fund  Drive  collected  over 
$2,000  to  aid  SNCC  in  its  voter 
registration  work.  The  money  was 
used  to  buy  equipment  and  food 
necessary  for  work  to  continue. 
The  organization  still  barely  sur- 
vives financially,  and  help  is  ur- 
gently needed. 

SNOC's  office  In  Greenwood  was 
burned  down  during  the  voter  reg- 
istration drive  there.  Valuable  e- 
qulpment  and  supplies  were  lost. 
It  Is  necessary  that  these  be  re- 
placed if  the  Negro  Is  to  get  the 
right  to  vote  in  the  South. 


attack  on  segregation  and  preju- 
dice in  the  North,  he  said,  "We 
had  to  build  a  student  movement 
which  was  not  just  a  deposit  for 
extracurricular  energies  but  a  sig- 
nificant force  in  the  solution  of 
racial  conflict." 

To  do  this,  he  had  first  to  in- 
volve students  both  vicariously 
and  personally  in  the  dramatic 
events  in  the  South.  Then,  he 
concluded,  students  could  facus 
on  the  less  spectacular  if  no  less 
significant  problems  of  the  North. 
Thus,  NSM  has  .spent  much  timo 
raising  money  for  the  Student 
Non-Violent  Coordinating  Com- 
mittee's activities,  while  working 
on  Northern  pi-oblems  as  well. 

Staff 

To  coordinate  these  activities, 
the  New  Haven  office  has  a  staff 
of  five  full-time  workers,  includ- 
ing Countryman  and  his  wife, 
Joan.  Cliff  Henry,  a  graduate  of 
Baltimore's  Morgan  State,  serves 
as  field  secretary;  Sharon  Jeffries, 
from  the  U.  of  Michigan,  is  cam- 
pus coordinator;  and  fonner 
Bennington  student  Kaye  Gross- 
man is  secretary.  There  are  also 
full-time  workers  in  key  Northern 
cities  such  as  Boston,  Hartford. 
New  York  and  Philadelphia. 

The  staff  maintains  constant 
communication  with  civil  rights 
activities  in  the  South,  as  well  as 
keeping  tabs  on  its  members'  work 
in  the  North.  A  newsletter  is  pub- 
lished, and  the  mimeograph  equip- 
ment in  the  office  is  kept  busy 
reproducing  significant  materials 
to  be  sent  to  campus  groups. 

Keeping  college  students  edu- 
cated and  involved  in  the  civil 
rights  movement  is  another  re- 
sponsibility of  NSM.  Campuses  lo- 
cated in  rural  areas,  where  the 
pressures  of  discrimination  are 
not  always  felt,  provide  little  out- 
let for  student  participation. 
Thus,  scheduled  conferences  fea- 
turing outstanding  figures  in  the 
national  movement  are  held  and 
attract  hundreds  of  students  reg- 
ularly. 

Williams 

Williams'  affiliation  with  NSM 
has  been  very  close.  Roger  War- 
ren '63  is  a  member  of  its  Execu- 
tive Council,  and  Gordon  Davis 
'63  is  its  Berkshire  area  represen- 
tative. The  North  Adams  Tutorial 
Project  grew  out  of  an  NSM  meet- 
ing attended  by  Morris  Kap- 
lan '63,  and  several  Williams  stu- 
dents worked  on  NSM  tutorials 
last  summer. 

The  conferences  held  at  Sarah 
Lawrence  and  Yale  were  attended 
by  representatives  from  Williams. 
This  year  the  Williams  Civil 
Rights  Committee  has  worked 
closely  with  the  NSM  staff  in  set- 
ting up  a  conference  that  wlU- 
hopefully,  be  held  here  next  fall. 
and  in  the  creation  of  a  race  re- 
lations seminar  to  be  conducted 
under  the  auspices  of  the  College 
Chapel  next  year.

Gurgle  Taps   19  Juniors 


The  faithful  onlookers  at  the 
first  Gurgle  Tapping  Ceremony 
this  afternoon  are  privileged  to 
watch  history  in  the  making.  In 
years  to  come,  they  will  relate  to 
their  adoring  grandchildren  the 
deeds  of  this  first  august  body  of 
Williams  men,  selected  for  their 
extraordinary  qualities.  Although 
the  traditions  of  the  society  are 
hardly  settled  at  this  point  -  the 
group  having  been  in  existence  for 
something  less  than  a  week  -  the 
ritual  followed  this  afternoon  will 
be  the  basis  for  all  subsequent 
ceremonies. 

Such  was  the  zeal  of  the  found- 
ers that  they  were  able  to  consti- 
tute this  remarkable  body  in  less 
than  a  week.  This  particular  Fri- 
day was  deemed  sufficiently  sacred 
for  the  ceremony,  being  as  it  is 
the  eve  of  the  Spring  Non-House- 
party  weekend.  The  ritual  was  wit- 
nessed by  throngs  of  dates,  fel- 
low students,  beaming  parents, 
huddled  in  the  cover  of  Greylock 
Hall,  several  befuddled  members 
of  the  college's  "official   family." 

Since  this  is  the  first  year  for 
the  society,  the  men  who  will  tap 
have  been  dutifully  selected  as 
outgoing  members,  and  have  been 
granted  immediate  status  as  alum- 
ni of  the  honorary  group.  The 
group  plans  to  place  a  limit  of 
20  on  the  number  of  men  to  be 
inducted  each  year.  Both  groups 
are  reportedly  diligently  working 
on  some  sort  of  constitution,  to 
perpetuate  the  aura  of  solemnity 
and  respectability  that  has  been 
shown  this  afternoon. 

Spook  It  Up 

The  tapping  members  will  be 
cloaked  in  the  mystic  robes,  ex- 
humed from  a  musty  crypt  in  one 
of  the  houses.  The  outgoing  mem- 
bers will  teeter  out  of  the  Kappa 
Alpha  garage  and  take  their  place 
in  the  center  of  the  lawn.  Before 
the  pick  is  made,  each  member 
will  follow  a  sacred  route,  which 
has  been  chalked  on  the  lawn 
lest  any  of  the  members  lose  his 
way  en  route  to  the  line  of  jun- 
iors. 

The  ceremony  and  indeed  the 
whole  purpose  of  the  society  is 
designed  to  bring  a  smile  to  the 
lips,  rather  than  a  tear  to  the  eye, 
of  each  person  witnessing  the  cer- 
emony. The  society  is  sanctioned 
by  no  tradition  of  any  sort,  so 
each  member  may  walk  lightly  in 
the  knowledge  that  he  is  the  first, 
but  far  from  the  last,  to  wear  the 
lovely  robes  of  the  Gurgle  Society.

Groswinner  Cup  Goes 
To  Alvin  G.  Hageman 

Alvin  Gregory  Hageman  III  was 
presented  today  with  the  first 
Groswinner  Memorial  Trophy  for 
"general  good-naturedness  and 
genial  indifference  to  the  tradi- 
tions of  Williams  College."  The 
exalted  piece  of  porcelain  was  pre- 
sented to  Hageman  by  Andy 
Smith,  the  master  of  ceremonies 
for  the  tapping  ceremony. 

Hageman  is  an  honors  student 
in  Economics,  but  is  more  widely 
known  for  his  feats  on  the  ath- 
letic fields.  As  linebacker  for  last 
fall's  football  team,  he  led  the 
squad  in  tackles  and  played  nob- 
ly in  the  offensive  line.  Perhaps 
his  most  outstanding  play  of  the 
season  was  the  blocked  punt  a- 
gainst  Springfield,  which  led  to  a 
6-0  victory  for  Williams.  He  is 
moreover  a  bulwark  on  the  rugby 
team  and  terrorized  the  other 
teams  in  Bermuda  this  spring. 

The  Groswinner  Trophy  was 
given  to  the  society  by  the  15  fra- 
ternities and  the  presentation  will 
become  an  annual  affair  at  Gur- 
gle Tapping  Day  ceremonies.  The 
trophy  itself  is  the  result  of  in- 
tense rummaging  in  the  Kappa 
Alpha  garage  and  was  selected  as 
a  symbol  of  faithful  and  dedi- 
cated service  to  the  fraternities  of 
I  the  college. 


What  Is  A  Gurgle? 

The  first  Gurgle  Society,  whose  induction  we  are  watching 
today,  was  conceived  in  tlie  spirit  of  the  Spring,  as  a  jest  at  the 
solemnity  with  which  the  college— the  students,  the  faculty  and 
the  administration— is  moving  in  what  is  earnestly  believed  to  be 
a  "period  of  crisis."  The  society  is  a  belch  in  the  face  of  tradition, 
pomposity  and  propriety,  to  the  destruction  of  which  Society  is 
unalterably  dedicated. 

Gurgle  has  not  been  constituted  to  do  anything,  for  it  has 
become  evident  that  societies  which  set  out  to  accomplish  some- 
thing often  become  dissipated  in  considerations  of  self-importance 
and  respectability.  The  fine  thing  about  Gurgle  is  that  it  does 
not  take  itself  seriously,  nor  does  it  expect  to  be  taken  witli  any- 
thing other  than  the  levity  in  which  it  was  conceived. 

Gurgle  does  not  plan  to  do  anything  and,  least  of  all,  does 
it  plan  to  discuss  anything,  for  it  has  become  obvious  that  any 
expression  of  undergraduate  sentiment  falls  on  deaf  ears.  There 
is  no  point  in  discussion,  for  its  own  sake,  among  the  members, 
for  any  talk  without  the  prospect  of  action  becomes  little  more 
dian  hot  ail'  and  there  is  already  a  measurable  quantity  of  this 
circulating  about  the  college. 

The  Gurgle  Society  is  a  joke,  indeed  it  is  the  grant/  <iui^m)l 
of  the  Spring,  for  it  bears  rancor  toward  no  one  and  exists  on  a 
"Don't  bother  us  and  we  won't  bother  you"  philosophy.  There 
is  nothing  to  do  but  enjoy  the  ceremony.

The  Death  Of  William  Moore 

When  William  Moore  bcj^an  to  walk  from  Baltimore  to  Missis- 
.si))pi,  lie  must  liavc  ])ros('ntetl  a  slightly  ludicrous  figure;  a  |)()st- 
maii,  on  vaeation,  truiulling  a  sho|5ping  cart,  containing  his  clothes 
and  a  diary,  along  the  highways  of  the  South.  There  is  generally 
a  distaste  for  such  crusades  and  postmen  are  hardly  heroic  fig- 
ures, so  it  seems  conceivable  that  William  Moore's  mission  might 
have  |-)assed  unnoticed,  had  not  two  assailants  brutally  shot  him 
to  death  on  a  deserted  highway  in  .Mahama. 

It  will  he  a  comment  on  the  United  States  if  people  remain 
indifferent  to  such  an  act  of  violence  as  the  shooting  of  William 
Moore.  Perhaps,  when  tlie  activities  of  this  decade  are  nothing 
more  than  text  in  the  history  books  and  luemories  in  the  minds 
of  old  men,  the  shooting  will  be  looked  upon  as  significant,  in 
that  it  awakened  a  callous  country  to  the  waywardness  of  cer- 
tain indi\idnals,  and  indeed,  to  a  section  of  America  which  Allen 
Tate  has  called  "Uncle  Sam's  othc^r  country." 

To  demand  the  death  ))eualty,  or  some  other  such  "ultimate 
retribution"  for  the  assailants  is  not  the  answer,  for  they  are  sim- 
ply products  ol  tlieir  eiiviromuent,  and  therefore  bear  no  more 
guilt  than  the  other  inhabitants,  and  particularly  the  leaders,  of 
the  South.  Men  like  Ross  Bamett  and  Orval  Faubus  are  as  guilty 
for  William  Moore's  death  as  the  two  assailants. 

The  assailants  will  be  caught,  for  even  Southern  sensibilities 
have  been  somewhat  jarred;  several  state  officials  in  Alabama, 
will  wondeis  never  cease,  offered  rewards  and  protestations  of 
outrage.  But  the  murder  is  a  svin|5tom  of  the  feeling  with  which 
tlie  state  officials  are  obviously  in  com|)lete  sympathy,  or  else 
they  just  wouldn't  be  .-Mabama  state  officials.  The  symptom  may 
be  ciu-ed,  but  the  disease  will  jiersist  for  many  years  to  come. 

Most  of  the  South,  if  we  are  to  believe  those  pettifogs  who 
are  elected  to  pulilic  office,  are  incensed  at  the  interference  from 
"those  damn  Yankees,"  but  the  fact  is  obvious  that  there  is  a  de- 
termination in  the  South  to  deny  at  least  constitutional  rights  to 
minority  groups;  a  reactionary  official  may  deny  a  Negro  the  right 
to  marry  his  sist(>r,  but  he  cannot  deny  him  the  right  to  vote.  ,^11 
of  this  resistance  has  been  (|uiet,  imtil  recently,  when  movements 
like  the  Northern  Student  Movement  and  the  Student  Nonviolent 
Co-ordinating  Committee  organized  into  active  forces,  and  when 
men  like  Martin  laither  King  and  William  Coffin,  who  ri.sked  cen- 
sure and  dismissal  from  Yale  to  ride  a  freedom  bus,  have  attracted 
attention  to  the  critical  situation  in  the  South.  Most  Americans 
lye  so  jaded  that  unless  an  event  is  spattered  with  blood,  it  re- 
ceives little  more  than  ]5assing  mention  in  the  press  and  a  word  in 
passing  in  a  conversation. 

It  is  the  pur)jose  of  groups  like  NSM  and  SNCC  to  keep 
people  aware  of  the  mispectacular  injustices  and  to  protest  them 
bv  ecjuallv  colorless,  but  still  effective  means.  By  organizing 
well-publicized  freedom  rides,  or  by  doing  simple  and  often 
dreary  work,  such  as  collecting  funds,  NSM  and  SNCC  are  sen'ing 
an  invaluable  function.  A  contrilmtion  to  their  campaign  this 
week  would  he  the  opportunity  to  evidence  concern,  or,  in  some 
Ciises.  to  expiate  a  guilty  con.science. 

The  promise  which  many  Southern  states  have  .shown  in 
treatment  of  minority  groups  has  been  all  btit  negated  by  the 
obstinacy  of  their  compatriots  under  the  Stars  and  Bars.  The  cam- 
paign will  continue,  and  it  is  organizations  like  NSM  and  SNCC 
that  will  help  to  lead.

Davis  And  Block  To  Hea(]  WCRC; 
Group  Plans  To  Expand  Activity 

The  Williams  Civil  Bights  Connnittee  announced  its  new  officers  Jor  196.'3-(i4  at  a  meeting 
belli  Monday  night.  Selected  to  head  the  group  as  co-chairmen  were  Steve  Block  '05  and  |.  ||.  K. 
Davis  11  '65.  They  replace  outgoing  chairman  Hie  h  Lyon '()-l.  ,  ,     , 

The  committee  also  announced  plans  for  a  fmicl  drive  and   tutorial  week  tliat  will   !).■  li,|,| 

May  5  through  11.  The  details  for  the  week  are  oiidined   elsewhere   in    this    special   issue   of   th,. 

BKCOBl). 

Seek  Recognition 

The  first  action  of  the  new 
committee  will  be  to  seek  official 
recognition  from  the  College.  Dur- 
ing Its  brief,  one-year  oxl.stence, 
It  has  functioned  as  an  unaffili- 
ated organization.  To  add  lo  its 
new  permanence,  a  civil  rights 
reading  and  conference  room  has 
been  established  In  the  chapel 
tower.  The  room  will  house  the 
group's  large  collection  of  relevant 
publications. 

Plans  for  next  year  are  ambl- 
]  tlous.  Feeling  the  need  for  student 
education  as  to  the  many  implica- 
tions of  the  race  issue,  the  com- 
mittee will  sponsor  a  seminar  on 
race  relations  to  be  run  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Chapel  Board.  It 
Is  hoped  that  the  group  will  meet 
for  a  longer  period  of  time  than 
the  regular  chapel  study  groups 
and  that  eventually  a  course  of 
this  type  will  be  Included  in  the 
regular  curriculum. 

Admissions  Policy 

Another  field  activity  will  con- 
corn  the  admission  of  Negroes  to 
Williams.  Of  469  acceptances  for 
the  Class  of  1967,  only  four  were 
Negroes.  Members  of  the  commit- 
tee living  In  large  cities  this  sum- 
mer will  make  an  effort  to  become 
acquainted  with  qualified  Negro 
high  school  students  and,  in  turn, 
make  them  aware  of  the  existence 
of  Williams. 

After  the  original  contact  has 
been  made,  the  Williams  men  will 
create  opportunities  for  the  stu- 
dents to  come  to  Williams  for  a 
weekend  and  view  the  Berkshires 
and  environs.  It  is  hoped  that 
this  informal,  unofficial  activity 
will  increase  the  number  of  qual- 
ified Negro  applicants  to  Williams. 

Exchange  Programs 

The  great  success  of  the  How- 
ard and  Morehouse  exchange  pro- 
grams offers  another  field  of  ac- 
tivity. In  the  past,  only  four  to 
six  students  from  each  school 
have  participated,  and  there  has 
only  been  contact  with  one  school 
per  year.  The  unique  advantages 
that  programs  of  this  sort  offer 
make  it  advantageous  to  expand 
the  number  of  students  and  ed- 
ucational  institutions   involved. 

The  most  exciting  proposal  is 
still  embryonic.  A  fall  conference 
featuring  leaders  in  the  civil 
rights  movement  is  being  planned. 
Very  tentative  arrangements  cen- 
ter around  the  concept  of  "White 
America?"  It  Is  hoped  that  Mi- 
chael Harrington,  author  of  The 
Other  America,  will  discuss  the 
status  of  White  America;  Mal- 
colm X,  leader  of  the  Black  Mus- 
lim movement,  will  talk  on  "Black 
America;''  and  novelist-essayist 
James  Baldwin  will  offer  the  de- 
sired solution  of  black,  and  white 
America. 

Conference  Plans 

After  the  initial  addresses,  stu- 
dents would  gather  in  seminars, 
led  by  prominent  civil  rights  lead- 
ers, to  discuss  the  implications  ol 
the  speeches.  Entertainment 
would  be  provided  for  Saturday 
night.  The  date  of  the  conference, 
as  yet  undetermined,  will  probably 
fall  on  an  off-football   weekend. 

This  .year  the  committee  ran  a 
successful  Election  Day  drive  that 
netted  $340  for  SNCC's  voter  reg- 
istration program  In  the  South. 
It  has  also  established  commun- 
ications with  leading  civil  rights 
groups  and  sent  representatives  to 
NSM  conferences.  The  group  has 
worked  with  the  admissions  de- 
partment and  the  Chapel  Board 
In  an  attempt  to  educate  Williams 
students  to  the  meaning  of  the 
civil  rights  movement.

several  Northern  ghetto  communi- 
ties. 

While  the  major  emphasis  has 
been  placed  on  the  successful  tu- 
torial and  recreational  projects, 
individual  branches  of  the  New 
Haven  office  have  taken  the  in- 
itiative in  .selective  patronage 
campaigns  in  demands  for  fair 
rent  and  housing  practices,  and 
in  rcevaluations  of  the  cities  od- 
cuational  .systems.  The  Hartford. 
Conn.,  office,  for  example,  h  a  s 
secured  jobs  for  Negroes  in  the 
previously  all-white  Sealtest  and 
Hood  milk  companies. 

Philosophy 

Countryman  explained  recently 
that,  "We  had  a  vision  of  an  in- 
tegrated society,  a  .society  with 
social  institutions  extremely  sen- 
sitive to  Individual  problems.''  To 
get  Northern  students  to  lead  the

that  the  Negro  deserves  equal 
rights.  The  35  SNCC  field  secre- 
taries pick  cotton  and  scrub  floors 
to  survive.  But  their  work  con- 
tinues. 

SNCC's  latest  activity  is  a  con- 
tinuation of  murdered  crusader 
William  Moore's  "integration 
march"  to  Jack.son,  Miss.  Walking 
from  Memphis,  Tenn.  to  Jackson, 
Miss.,  they  will  present  Mississip- 
pi Governor  Ross  Bainett  with  a 
letter  a.sking  for  integration. 

SNCC's  main  concentration  of 
energy  has  been  in  Albany  and 
Greenwood.  There,  under  constant 
threats  of  intimidation,  they  can- 
vass the  adult  Negro  population 
for  potential  voters.  Because  of 
the  stringent  literacy  tests  applied 
to  Negroes,  they  then  run  schools 
to  help  them  learn  the  .subtle  nu- 
ances of  the  state  constitution. 
When  a  significant  force  has  been 
mustered,  they  march  to  the  town 
hall  to  register. 

In  Greenwood  dogs  were  used 
to  keep  the  Negroes  from  the  hall, 
causing  comedian  Dick  Gregory 
to  remark,  "It's  worse  than  Rus- 
sia." Sometimes,  as  in  the  case 
of  Herbert  Lee,  the  prospective 
Negro  voters  are  shot  and  killed. 
But  more  often  the  Negroes  are 
registered  and  hope  Increases. 

Last  year's  Civil  Rights  Com- 
mittee Fund  Drive  collected  over 
$2,000  to  aid  SNCC  in  its  voter 
registration  work.  The  money  was 
used  to  buy  equipment  and  food 
necessary  for  work  to  continue. 
The  organization  still  barely  sur- 
vives financially,  and  help  Is  ur- 
gently needed. 

SNCC's  office  in  Greenwood  was 
burned  down  during  the  voter  reg- 
istration drive  there.  Valuable  e- 
qulpmcnt  and  supplies  were  lost. 
It  Is  necessary  that  these  be  re- 
placed if  the  Negro  Is  to  get  the 
right  to  vote  in  the  South. 


attack  on  segregation  and  preju- 
dice in  the  North,  he  said,  "We 
had  to  build  a  student  movement 
which  was  not  just  a  deposit  for 
extracurricular  energies  but  a  .sig- 
nificant force  in  the  solution  of 
racial  conflict." 

To  do  this,  he  had  first  to  in- 
volve students  both  vicariou.sly 
and  per.sonally  in  the  dramulic 
events  in  the  South.  Then,  h,' 
concluded,  students  could  I  iciH 
on  the  less  spectacular  if  no  ll•.^; 
significant  problems  of  the  Norlli. 
Thus,  NSM  has  spout  much  tinv 
raising  moru-y  for  the  Sluden: 
Non-Violent  Coordinating  Cam- 
mittee's  activities,  while  workin^ 
on  Northern  problems  as  well. 

Staff 

To  coordinate  these  activities, 
the  New  Haven  office  has  a  .staff 
of  five  full-time  workers,  includ- 
ing Countryman  and  his  wife, 
Joan.  Cliff  Henry,  a  graduate  of 
Baltimore's  Morgan  State,  .serves 
as  field  secretary:  Sharon  Jeffries, 
from  the  U.  of  Michigan,  is  cam- 
pus coordinator:  and  former 
Bennington  student  Kayc  Gro.s.s- 
man  is  secretary.  There  are  also 
full-time  workers  in  key  Northern 
cities  such  as  Boston,  Hartford. 
New  York  and  Philadelphia. 

The  .staff  maintains  constant 
communication  with  civil  rights 
activities  in  the  South,  as  well  us 
keeping  tabs  on  its  members'  work 
in  the  North.  A  newsletter  is  inib- 
lished,  and  the  mimeograph  equip- 
ment in  the  office  is  kept  busy 
reproducing  significant  materials 
to  be  sent  to  campus  groups. 

Keeping  college  students  edu- 
cated and  involved  in  the  civil 
rights  movement  is  another  re- 
sponsibility of  NSM.  Campuses  lo- 
cated in  rural  areas,  where  the 
pressures  of  discrimination  are 
not  always  felt,  provide  little  out 
let  for  student  participation 
Thus,  scheduled  conferences  fea- 
turing outstanding  figures  in  tlu' 
national  movement  are  held  and 
attract  hundreds  of  students  reg- 
ularly. 

Williams 

Williams'  -.ffiliation  with  NSM 
has  been  vory  close.  Roger  War- 
ren '63  is  a  member  of  its  Execu- 
tive Council,  and  Gordon  Davis 
'63  is  its  Berkshire  area  represen- 
tative. The  North  Adams  Tutorial 
Project  grew  out  of  an  NSM  meet- 
ing attended  by  Morris  Kap- 
lan '63,  and  several  Williams  stu- 
dents worked  on  NSM  tutorials 
last  summer. 

The  conferences  held  at  Sarah 
Lawrence  and  Yale  were  attended 
by  representatives  from  Williams. 
This  year  the  Williams  Civil 
Rights  Committee  has  worked 
closely  with  the  NSM  staff  in  set- 
ting up  a  conference  that  will, 
hopefully,  be  held  here  next  fall. 
and  in  the  creation  of  a  race  re- 
lations seminar  to  be  conducted 
under  the  auspices  of  the  College 
Chapel  next  year.

Gurgle  Taps   19  Juniors 


The  faithful  onlookers  at  the 
first  Gurgle  Tapping  Ceremony 
this  afternoon  are  privileged  to 
watch  history  in  the  making.  In 
years  to  come,  they  will  relate  to 
their  adoring  grandchildren  the 
deeds  of  this  first  august  body  of 
Williams  men.  selected  for  their 
extraordinary  qualities.  Although 
the  traditions  of  the  society  are 
hardly  settled  at  this  point  -  the 
group  having  been  in  existence  for 
something  less  than  a  week  -  the 
ritual  followed  this  afternoon  will 
be  the  basis  for  all  subsequent 
ceremonies. 

Such  was  the  zeal  of  the  found- 
ers that  they  were  able  to  consti- 
tute this  remarkable  body  in  less 
than  a  week.  This  particular  Fri- 
day was  deemed  sufficiently  sacred 
for  the  ceremony,  being  as  it  is 
the  eve  of  the  Spring  Non-House- 
party  weekend.  The  ritual  was  wit- 
nessed by  throngs  of  dates,  fel- 
low students,  beaming  parents, 
huddled  in  the  cover  of  Greylock 
Hall,  several  befuddled  members 
of    the  college's   "official  farr^^ily." 

Since  this  is  the  first  year  for 
the  society,  the  men  who  will  tap 
have  been  dutifully  selected  as 
outgoing  members,  and  have  been 
granted  immediate  status  as  alum- 
ni of  the  honorary  group.  The 
group  plans  to  place  a  limit  of 
20  on  the  number  of  men  to  be 
inducted  each  year.  Both  groups 
are  reportedly  diligently  working 
on  some  sort  of  constitution,  to 
perpetuate  the  aura  of  solemnity 
and  respectability  that  has  been 
shown  this  afternoon. 

Spook  It  Up 

The  tapping  members  will  be 
cloaked  in  the  my.stic  robes,  ex- 
humed from  a  musty  crypt  in  one 
of  the  houses.  The  outgoing  mem- 
bers will  teeter  out  of  the  Kappa 
Alpha  garage  and  take  their  place 
in  the  center  of  the  lawn.  Before 
the  pick  is  made,  each  member 
will  follow  a  sacred  route,  which 
has  been  chalked  on  the  lawn 
lest  any  of  the  members  lose  his 
way  en  route  to  the  line  of  jun- 
iors. 

The  ceremony  and  indeed  the 
whole  purpose  of  the  society  is 
designed  to  bring  a  .smile  to  the 
lips,  rather  than  a  tear  to  the  eye, 
of  each  person  witnessing  the  cer- 
emony. The  society  Is  sanctioned 
by  no  tradition  of  any  sort,  so 
each  member  may  walk  lightly  in 
the  knowledge  that  he  Is  the  first, 
but  far  from  the  last,  to  wear  the 
lovely  robes  of  the  Gurgle  Society.

Groswinner  Cup  Goes 
To  Alvin  G.  Hageman 

Alvin  Gregory  Hageman  III  was 
presented  today  with  the  first 
Groswinner  Memorial  Troi)hy  for 
"general  good-naturedness  and 
genial  indifference  to  the  tradi- 
tions of  Williams  College."  The 
exalted  piece  of  porcelain  was  pre- 
sented to  Hageman  by  Andy 
Smith,  the  master  of  ceremonies 
for  the  tapping  ceremony. 


Hageman  is  an  honors  student 
in  Economics,  but  is  more  widely 
known  for  his  feats  on  the  ath- 
letic fields.  As  linebacker  for  last 
fall's  football  team,  he  led  the 
squad  in  tackles  and  played  nob- 
ly in  the  offensive  line.  Perhaps 
his  most  outstanding  play  of  the 
season  was  the  blocked  punt  a- 
gainst  Springfield,  which  led  to  a 
6-0  victory  for  Williams.  He  is 
moreover  a  bulwark  on  the  rugby 
team  and  terrorized  the  other 
teams  in  Bermuda  this  spring. 

The  Groswinner  Trophy  was 
given  to  the  society  by  the  15  fra- 
ternities and  the  presentation  will 
become  an  annual  affair  at  Gur- 
gle Tapping  Day  ceremonies.  The 
trophy  itself  is  the  result  of  in- 
tense rummaging  in  the  Kappa 
Alpha  garage  and  was  selected  as 
a  symbol  of  faithful  and  dedi 
cated  service  to  the  fraternities  of 
the  college. 


What  Is  A  Gurgle? 

The  first  Gurgle  Society,  whose  induction  we  arc  watching 
today,  was  conceived  in  the  spirit  of  the  Spring,  as  a  jest  at  the 
solemnity  with  which  the  college— the  students,  the  faculty  and 
the  administration— is  moving  in  what  is  earnestly  believed  to  he 
a  "period  of  crisis."  The  society  is  a  belch  in  the  face  of  tradition, 
pomposity  and  propriety,  to  the  destruction  of  which  S()ciet\'  is 
unalterably  dedicated. 

Gurgle  has  not  been  constituted  to  do  anything,  for  it  has 
become  evident  that  societies  which  set  out  to  accomplish  some- 
thing often  become  dissipated  in  considerations  of  self-iin|)ortance 
and  res|5ectability.  Tlie  fine  thing  about  Gurgle  is  that  it  does 
not  take  itself  seriously,  nor  does  it  expect  to  be  taken  with  an\- 
thing  other  than  the  levity  in  which  it  was  conceived. 

Gurgle  does  not  plan  to  do  anything  and.  least  of  all,  does 
it  plan  to  discuss  anything,  for  it  has  become  obvious  that  am' 
expression  of  undergraduate  sentiment  falls  on  deaf  ears.  There 
is  no  point  in  discussion,  for  its  own  sake,  among  the  members, 
for  any  talk  without  the  prospect  of  action  becomes  little  more 
than  hot  air  and  there  is  already  a  measurable  quantity  of  tln^ 
circulating  about  the  college. 

Tlie  Gurgle  Society  is  a  joke,  indeed  it  is  the  grniirf  gi/ifiiio/ 
of  the  Spring,  for  it  bears  rancor  toward  no  oiu"  and  exists  on  a 
"Don't  bother  us  and  we  won't  bother  you"  philosojihy.  There 
is  nothing  to  do  but  enjoy  the  ceremony.

The  performance  was  especially 
encouraging  as  the  Dartmouth

Brattlcboro's  Smith  blew  across 
the  tape  in  the  hundred  in  record 
time.  Williams'  Tom  Gunn  placed 
second  in  10.1.  Gunn  returned  to 
take  fir.st  in  ludicrously  run  440 
with  a  time  of  54  flat. 

Arriving  late,  the  Williams  dis- 
tance contingent  was  hampered  by 
a  lack  of  warm-up  lime  and  the 
unaccustomed  vernal  atmosphere. 
Running  asainst  the  times  estab- 
lished by  runners  in  previous

Herbert  S.  Gay,  Jr.  '42.  Gay,  a 
trustee  of  the  local  house  and 
vice-president  of  the  national  or- 
ganization, resigned  as  head  of 
the  local  trustees  last  fall  after 
announcing  at  a  meeting  that  the 
house's  alumni  were  60  per  cent 
in  favor  of  implementation.  The 
ratio  has  since  balanced  out  to 
fifty-fifty;  most  are  in  favor  of 
the  undergraduates  deciding  the 
course  of  action  to  be  taken. 

Potential  Importance 

The  case,  though  a  domestic 
dispute,  could  have  campus-wide 
repercussions.  If  precedence  can 
be  established  by  one  national, 
others  may  well  follow  with 
similar  actions.  It  is  no  secret  that 
national  fraternity  ".spokesmen"' 
strongly  disapprove  of  the  admin- 
istration's policy.  Many  students 
likewise  disapprove,  but  as  one 
strong  fraternity  advocate  said, 
"Tliis  is    not   the  way   to  do   it." 

Further  Reaction 

The  general  reaction  among 
social  unit  proponents  was  a  mix- 
ture of  consternation,  smugness, 
and  detached  disinterest.  One  re- 
ceived the  strong  impression  that 
anyone  who  would  be  in  a  fra- 
ternity deserved  any  encumbent 
woes. 

There  is  no  doubt,  however,  that 
Thursday's  proceedings  will  be  fol- 
lowed by  the  Williams  community 
with  great  interest.

Frosh  Baseball  Defeats  Wesleyan; 
Christiansen   Homer  Clinches   Win 


The  Williams  freshman  base- 
ball team  trounced  the  Wesleyan 
freshmen  9-1  on  Saturday  for 
their  second  .season  victory  with- 
out a  defeat. 

Kevin  Sheehan  started  for   the

Ephlets  and  went  eight  Innings 
giving  up  just  one  run  on  five 
hits.  Jim  Kile  came  on  to  relieve 
in  the  ninth  and  complemented 
Sheehan's  fine  showing  by  retir- 
ing  tlie  side  in  order. 

Christiansen  Homers 

At  the  plate,  the  frosh  capital- 
ized on  eleven  hits,  gathering 
three  runs  in  the  first  inning,  one 
in  the  second,  and  five  in  the 
ninth.  Sparlcing  Williams  in  this 
department  were  Pete  Williamson, 
who  had  three  hits,  and  Bob 
Cliristian.sen  and  Jon  Nesvig  with 
two  apiece. 

Catcher  Christiansen  led  the 
five  run  ninth  inning  rally  when, 
with  a  man  on.  he  hit  a  blast  to 
deep  left  center  field  and  legged 
it   out  for  a  home  run.

The  civil  rights  fight  suddenly  hit  home  at  Williams  College 
as  Reverend  John  Eusden  and  J.  H.  K.  Davis  II  '65  left  for  Birming- 
ham, Alabama  late  last  night. 

The  move  came  in  response  to  an  urKent  telegram  from  ex- 
Williams  chaplain  William  S.  Coffin  reading  "You  are  greatly  need- 
ed." and  giving  a  flight  number  to  Birmingham. 

Eusden  received  the  telegram  around  eight,  according  to  his 
wife,  and  by  a  quarter  past  ten  he  and  Davis  had  boarded  a  char- 
tered plane  from  North  Adams.  They  caught  a  707  at  Hartford  at 
11:30  and  sliould  have  arrived  in  Birmingham  about  two  this  morn- 
inn. 

Mrs.  Eusden,  calm  and  cheerful,  said  her  husband  told  her,  "I 
ijromised  my  friends  I  would  come  if  they  needed  me." 

Coffin's  mother,  reached  in  New  Haven  early  this  morning,  said 
that  her  son  was  already  in  Birmingham,  and  that  his  wife,  Eva, 
was  i)reparing  to  leave  tomorrow.  Several  Yale  profes.sors  and  at 
least  one   New    Haven   clergyman   were   reported  also   enroute. 

Students  have  attempted  vainly  to  get  in  touch  with  Eusden 
all  morning  for  further  information.  Coffin  is  known  to  feel  that 
tlio  Birmingham  situation  represents  a  crisis  in  Negro  leadership, 
with  Martin   Luther   King's  nonviolent   philosophy  being  challenged

Sig  Phi  Trustees  Vote  To  Sponsor 
Social  Unit  Pending  Alumni  Consent 

by  Lisle  Dalton 

Tlie  Sigma  Phi  Fraternity  is  tentatively  scheduled  to  Ijecorne 
a  social  unit  next  year  accordinj;  to  .statement  issued  Thursday 
by  Mr.  Albert  Vinal,  14,  of  South  Weymouth,  Mass.,  dean  of 
Trustees  of  the  local  chapter  of  Sij^ma  Phi. 

The  house  is  to  be  leased  to  the  coUejre  for  a  trial  perio<l 
of  three  years.  However  this  move  is  subject  to  the  approval  of 
the  alumni  who  arc  now  being  polled.  If  the  alumni  disapprove 
of  the  trustees'  action  the  lease  will  be  void  before  it  is  scheduled 
to  go  into  effect.  Tlie  polling  should  be  completed  in  about  a 
month. 

The  Trustees  of  the  Williams  Chapter  of  Sigma  Phi  have 
voted  to  lease  the  Sigma  Phi  House  to  the  College  on  a  8-year 
lease,  and  to  sponsor  a  new  Social  Unit  in  the  fall  of  1963.  Terms 
are  now  being  negotiated  with  tlie  College  and  will  be  subject 
to  the  approval  of  the  Alinnni  of  the  Williams  Chapter  of  Sigma 
Phi.  Sigma  Phi  jilans  to  continue  at  Williams  as  a  fraterm'tv.

Dick  Tucker,  house  president,  stated  that  the  house  members 
disapprove  of  the  projiosal  and  would  prefer  to  retain  the  status 

quo   as  a  fraternity.  However,  he 


Coffin  Urges  End 
To  Racial  Hatred 

Bill  Coffin  returned  to  Will- 
iams for  his  annual  visit  Sunday 
night,  and  his  following  grew  as 
he  moved  from  the  faculty  club 
to  the  chapel  to  the  student  un- 
ion with  a  message  of  problems 
and  specific   challenges. 

William  Sloane  Coffin,  Jr.  was 
chaplain  of  Williams  in  1957-58. 
He  is  now  chaplain  of  Yale,  a 
member  of  the  board  of  the  peace 
corps,  a  leader  in  the  field  of  civil 
rights,  and  an  articulate  spokes- 
man on  all  aspects  of  social  con- 
cern. Taking  as  his  theme  the 
problem  of  racial  and  social 
injustice  in  this  country,  he  firm- 
ly placed  his  hope  for  solution  in 
the  brightness  of  the  students  of 
this  generation. 

The  evening  .started  with  din- 
ner at  the  faculty  club,  and  here 
Coffin  seemed  to  be  at  his  best 
as  he  took  recent  events  in  Bir- 
mingham as  a  basis  for  some  com- 
ments on  the  problems  of  civil

did  express  the  feeling  that  it  the 
measure  does  become  final  that 
the  members  should  try  to  make 
the  change  as  easily  as  possible 

Tucker  made  the  point  that  the 
Alpha  chapter  of  Sigma  Phi  would 
remain  active  at  Williams.  He 
noted  the  possibility  that  some  of 
the  people  who  join  the  social  unit 
would  also  join  the  fraternity. 
Hopefully  the  house  property  will 
become  associated  with  Lehman, 
which  is  to  become  a  social  unit. 

The  lease  was  made  for  three 
years  because  if  the  college  is  to 
guarantee  that  the  members  of 
the  class  of  1966  who  join  the 
house  will  be  able  to  live  in  the 
house  until  their  graduation  as 
the  present  members  wish,  it 
would  be  better  to  make  the  lease 
for  thi-ee  years  rather  than  for 
one.  Details  concerning  the  a- 
mount  of  the  lease  and  whether 
or  not  it  will  cover  more  than 
just  taxes  and  maintenance  as 
well  as  other  concerns  are  being 
drawn  up  by  the  Trustees'  law- 
yers.   The    president   did   express

WEDNESDAY,    ,MAY    8,    1963 


Benjamin  Labaree  Appointed  Dean; 
Kershaw    Chosen    College    Provost 


Benjamin  W.  Labaree,  who  is  coming  to  Wil- 
liams next  year  as  a  member  of  the  history  de- 
partment, has  been  appointed  to  succeed  Robert  R. 
B.  Brooks  as  dean  of  the  college.  This  appointment, 
which  will  become  effective  July  1,  was  approved 
by  the  Ti-ustees  at  their  meeting  last  weekend. 

The  Trustees  also  approved  the  appointment 
of  Joseph  A.  Kershaw,  presently  an  administrative 
assistant  to  President  Sawyer,  as  the  first  Provost 
of  the  college.  The  position  of  provost  will  involve 
the  economic  policies  of  the  college,  particularly 
in  the  areas  of  budgets  and  staffing,  near-term 
and  long-term  planning,  and  contacts  with  foun- 
dations. 

Labaree  is  currently  on  leave  from  Harvard 
where  he  was  an  assistant  professor  of  history  and 
Burr  Senior  Tutor  at  Winthrop  House.  He  has 
been  doing  research  during  his  leave  for  a  book  on 
The  Tea  Act  and  its  relations  to  the  origins  of  the 
American  Revolution. 

Labaree's  administrative  experience  was  gained 
at  Winthrop  House,  where  senior  tutors  serve  as 
surrogate  deans  for  the  Harvard  houses.  He  had 
been  mentioned  before  as  involved  in  the  first  Wil- 
liams social  unit,  although  no  specific  assignment 
has  been  mentioned. 

Labaree  is  also  known  at  Harvard  for  his  plan 


to  reorganize  the  freshman  year  by  organizing  the 
freshmen  into  larger  groups  in  a  system  similar  to 
the  upperclass  house  system.  This  program  was 
first  presented  three  years  ago  and  went  into  ef- 
fect last  fall  with  "some  success,"  according  to  one 
source  at  HaiTard. 

A  student  living  in  Winthrop  House  said  that 
while  Labaree  does  not  tend  to  be  "buddy-buddy" 
with  the  students,  he  is  "extremely  interested  in 
them."  This  student  also  noted  that  Labaree  has 
shown  "a  fantastic  interest  in  administrative  prob- 
lems, as  one  would  gather  from  this  plan  for  the 
freshman  year." 

Labaree.  the  son  of  Leonard  Labaree  '19,  pro- 
fessor of  history  at  Yale,  received  his  BA  from 
Yale  in  1950,  his  MA  from  Harvard  in  1953  and 
his  doctorate  at  Harvard  in  1957.  His  doctoral 
thesis  Patriots  and  Partisans:  The  Merchants  of 
Newburyport,  1764-1815,  was  published  last  year  in 
the  Harvard  Historical  Studies  series. 

Labaree  has  taught  at  Phillips  Exeter  Academy 
and  Connecticut  College  for  Women  before  join- 
ing the  Harvard  faculty  in  1958.  On  leave  as  an 
assistant  professor,  he  had  been  promoted  to  as- 
sociate professor  at  Williams. 

In  addition  to  his  duties  as  dean,  Labaree  will

Non-Houseparties  Rejuvenate  Campus  Life 


The  tapping  of  a  n«w  Gurgle.  The  impreniv*  eeremony  occupied  on  hour 
th,  lait  worm  Fridoy  afternoon.  R.quirem.nH  for  initiation  ore  stringent:  o 
wide  gullet,  a  good  capacity,  and  a  nofural  diitoit*  for  ony  hord  labor.  Out- 
look for  its  future:  wot. 


Spring  Non-Houseparty  Week- 
end got  off  to  its  second  annual 
bang  by  establishing  a  new  trad- 
ition; the  Gurgle  Tapping.  In  a 
wash  of  free  beer,  20  outstanding 
members  of  the  junior  class  were 
placed  on  tap  on  the  Phi  Oam, 
KA  lawn.  Highlight  of  the  after- 
noon was  the  presentation  to  Al 
Hageman  of  the  porcelain  Oros- 
winner  cup. 

Following  their  formal  initia- 
tion, the  new  members  of  Wil- 
liam's newest  society  of  respon- 
sible students  dispersed  to  their 
houses  to  set  the  tone  for  the 
next  three  days.  Naturally,  with 
Saturday  classes  in  mind,  there 
was  a  serious  attempt  to  keep 
revelry  under  control.  There  were, 
therefore,  no  College  sponsored  e- 
vents,  only  fraternity  sponsored 
parties. 


Saturday  classes  over,  students 
began  to  parly  in  earnest  with  fra- 
ternity entertainments  running 
from  lawn  parties,  to  rock  and  roll 
parties,  to  picnic  in  the  woods  par- 
ties. 

The  big  story  of  The  Weekend 
was  the  appearance  of  the  'Hot 
Nuts'  in  the  Student  Union  on 
Saturday  night.  The  band,  noted 
for  their  repetoire  of  modern  A- 
merican  filth,  was  sponsored  by 
three  members  of  Delta  Kappa 
Epsilon.  They  began  their  routine 
at  8;  30  and  after  twenty  minutes, 
were  asked  by  the  campus  police 
to  change  to  a  more  suitable  sel- 
ection of  lyrics. 

The  band  complied  and  was  al- 
lowed to  play  until  midnight.  The 
band  was  interested  in  continu- 
ing  In  order  to   fulfil   their  com- 


mitment. Chief  Oelheiscr,  howev- 
er, with  one  eye  on  the  blue  laws, 
pulled  the  plug  on  the  amplifier  at 
midnight  and  had  the  boys  go 
liome.  They  reappeared  at  the  DK 
E  house  at  one  o'clock  where,  ac- 
cording to  President  Steve  Cha- 
berski,  "they  really  .started  to 
move."  The  only  unfortunate  as- 
pect of  the  appearance  of  this  U- 
lustious  group  was  that  the  spon- 
sors lost  in  the  neighborhood  of 
$300  on  the  venture. 

There  were  no  tears  on  the  re- 
mainder of  the  campus,  however, 
as  Saturday  faded  into  Sunday, 
and  Sunday  into  Sunday  after- 
noon, and  the  second  annual 
Spring  Un-houseparly  Weekend 
faded  into  the  past. 


Gargoyle  On  Social  Change 

Report  Hails  Student  Responsibility, 
Warns  Of  Administration  Controls 

During  the  past  year.  Gargoyle  has  given  consideration  to 
the  problems  and  nature  ol  tiie  transition  to  a  new  soeial  and 
aeademic  systeni,  and  we  tee!  it  is  now  I)oth  necessary  ami  proper 
for  us  to  speak.  We  have  viewed  with  grave  reservations  the  widc-- 
spread  misinterpretation  and  conscious  campaign  of  distortion 
with  which  areas  of  the  student  body  have  res))onded  to  the  .social 
changes  planned  by  the  college.  \Ve  cannot  condone  the  man- 
euvers and  tactics  by  which  certain  elements  have  atteinjited  to 
obstruct  anv  attempt  at  real  cooperation  between  tlie  student 
body  and  the  administration  in  planning  the  new  soeial  system. 

The  new  social  system  is  obviously  an  endeavor  which  lias 
real  possibilities  for  the  creative  develo|)ment  of  the  Williams  edu- 
cation. The  events  at  Williams  are  being  viewed  with  great  in- 
terest throughout  the  country.  Their  success  will  depend  on  con- 
tinuing consideration  of  the  role  of  the  Williams  student  in  the 
Williams  community.  .\n  exchange  of  ideas  and  opinions  between 
students  and  administration  has  not  been  lacking,  but  at  present 
it  is  inadequate  and  may  be  threatened  by  a  lack  of  cooperation 
on  the  part  of  both  the  student  body  and  the  administration.  'I'he 
"best  interests  of  Williams  College"  are  not  static,  and  they  are 
not  based  on  poll  statistics.  Tliey  cannot  be  defined  by  any  one 
group  at  a  jiarticular  time.  Social  and  academic  changes  evolve 
over  dtx'ades.  The  .Angevine  Report  itself  was  not  an  arbitrary 
and  hasty  decision;  it  was  a  natural  development  in  the  liistory 
of  considerations  of  the  Williams  social  system  which  have  oc- 
curred periodically  since  the  war.  In  light  of  the  confused  and 
.seemingly  surprised  reaction  with  which  it  was  greeted  in  some 
areas,  it  is  significant  that  tlie  Angevine  report  aims  at  improving 
communication  throughout  the  Williams  community. 

Many  constructive  ideas  have  emerged  from  the  studi'nt  l)od\'. 
ant!  Gargoyle  looks  forward  to  increased  student  initiative  under 
the  new  system.  However,  we  wish  to  caution  the  administration 
against  present  dangers  which  may  jeopardize  this  eventuality. 
We  fear  any  tendency  wliieh  sacrifices  previously  stated  ideals 
foi-  effieienev  and  whicli  e(|uates  increased  administrative  control 
with  student  responsibility.  Specifically,  the  increasing  size  of 
planned  social  units  and  dining  facilities  contradicts  the  avowed 
intention  to  retain  the  benefits  of  small  unit  living.  Similarly. 
Clargoyle  asks  for  the  recognition  that  adverse  student  opinion 
does  not  necessarily  constitute  irresponsibility  in  the  student  body. 
We  as  students  and  in  keeping  with  oiu'  interest,  wish  to  be  re- 
speetfidlv  heard  in  areas  in  which  the  students  and  administration 
are  both  actively  involved.  We  wish  to  avoid  situations  which 
result  in  aiijiarently  arbitrary  and  unpopular  decisions.  We  recog- 
nize, of  course,  that  many  areas  are  idtimately  within  the  seojie 
of  administrative  decision.  Nevertheless,  many  problems  can  be 
avoided  tiuough  cooperation,  openness,  and  trust  on  both  sides. 

Gargoyle  affirms  its  confidence  in  the  role  of  tlie  shident 
Steernig  Committee  and  its  affiliated  subcommittees  in  jilanning 
tlie  revisions  in  the  social  system;  and  we  hope  that  the  adminis- 
tration will  respond  favorably  to  their  recommendations  and  de- 
cisions, Finally,  we  hope  and  expect  that  the  new  social  system 
will  provide  wide  areas  of  continued  and  extended  student  re- 
sponsibility, especially  in  matters  of  discipline  and  of  planning 
unit  activities  and  programs.  At  best,  administration  arrangements 
can  provide  the  conditions  within  which  students  and  faculty 
can  create  a  fruitful  intellectual  and  .social  life  at  Williams.  We 
look  forward  to  the  mature  acceptance  by  students  of  this  in- 
creased res))onsibility  and  to  the  acknowledgement  of  such  an 
extended  student  role  by  the  College  administration.

Lew  Harvey  Knocks 
Gardners  'False  And 
Ludicrous  Statements' 

(This  is  a  copy  of  a  letter  sent 
to  D.  Gardner,  administrative  as- 
sistant to   the  Standing  Commit- 
tee). 
Dear  Mr.  Gardner: 

I  was  more  than  amazed  tliat 
you,  an  official  member  of  the 
college  administration  should  ap- 
pear In  the  college  press  making 
statements  about  the  Delta  Phi 
Upsilon  position  and  the  fra- 
ternity situation  which  were  false 
and,  in  some  cases,  ludicrous.  I 
refer,  as  you  may  well  have  guess- 
ed, to  the  front-page  article,  in 
the  Williams  Record,  Friday,  May 
3,  1963.  Let  as.  then,  review  some 
of  these  points. 

You  will  notice  that  in  the 
April  24,  Wednesday,  edition  of 
The  Record  there  appeared  the 
text  of  our  statement.  In  that 
•statement  I  referred  to  the  Grad- 
uate Committee.  I  assume  that 
anybody  close  to  the  situation 
knows  the  nature  of  this  commit- 
tee. I  never  called  it  the  Delta 
Phi  Graduate  Committee.  Try  to 
keep  the  facts  a  little  clear. 

You  stated  that  you  have  not 
seen  me  in  two  months.  I  would 
only  call  your  attention  to  the 
dinner  at  President  Sawyer's 
house  April  9,  an  event  that  both 
you  and  I  attended  and  an  event 
at  which  I  asked  many  questions. 
And  as  for  my  interest  for  con- 
cise, straightforward  answers,  I 
need  only  quote  you  twice:  "... 
this  time  it  was  Mr.  Poehl,  Mr. 
Banks,  Mr.  Plynt,  and  I  think  an- 
other trustee."  "Anywliere  from 
three  to  six  or  seven  liavc  been 
strongly  interested  in  moving  into 
the  new  system  next  year."  Con- 
cise, straightforward  answers??  I 
don't  think  so! 

The  statement  that  our  Board 
of  Directors  voted  in  the  fall  to 
transfer  their  property  is  false!! 
As  Assistant  to  the  Standing  Com- 
mittee I  should  think  you  would 
know  the  facts.  Last  fall,  our  Al- 
umni Board  of  Directors  voted  to 
take  a  poll  of  the  fraternity's  al- 
umni body  to  find  a  consensus  of 
opinion,  if  one  existed.  At  no  time 
has  our  Board  of  Directors  voted 
to  -transfer  the  property  to  the 
College!! 

Finally,  as  one  last  point.  I  am 
interested  in  your  comments  a- 
bout  possible  new  sources  of  mon- 
ey. You  said  "this  is  something 
that  even  the  Delta  Phi  trustees 
knew  nothing  about."  I  will  cast 
aside  the  fact  that  we  do  not  have 
any  trustees  (but  instead,  a  Board 
of  Directors)  and  simply  ask  who 
on  our  Board  of  Directors,  if  any 
at  all,  you  polled  as  to  new  sourc- 
es of  money,  prior  to  making  your 
statement  to   the  Record? 

I  will  conclude  with  one  remark. 
"Delta  Phi  has  been  jumping  all 
over  the  lot"  you  said.  According 
to  several  long-time  Williamstown 
residents,  the  house  has  not  mov- 
ed  an  inch  since  it  was  built. 

Sincerely, 

Lewis  O.  Harvey,  Jr.

Kershaw  returned  to  Williams  this  fall  after  a 
hiatus  of  four  years,  during  which  he  was  head  of 
the  economics  department  of  the  RAND  Corpora- 
tion In  California.  He  was  also  the  director  of  the 
RAND  Soviet  economic  research  program,  and  gave 
one  of  the  faculty  lectures  this  winter  on  the 
Soviet  economy.  Kershaw  has  been  a  visiting  pro 
fe.ssor  of  economics  at  Williams  in  the  first  semes 
ter  of  the  1956-57  year  before  returning  this  year 
as  a  member  of  the  department  and  a  top-level 
aid  to  the  president. 

President  Sawyet,  In  stressing  the  need  for  an 
office  such  as  that  of  provost,  noted  that  there  are 
now  47  separate  budgets  in  the  college,  all  of  which 
had  been  supervised  by  the  president  in  the  past, 
and  which  will  now  be  handled  by  the  office  of 
the  provost.  The  President  said  that  the  duties  of 
provost  will  be  "responsive  to  circumstances." 

Kershaw,  the  father  of  David  Kershaw  '64,  re- 
ceived his  BA  at  Princeton  in  1935,  his  MA  from 
New  York  University  in  1935.  and  his  Ph.D.  from 
Columbia  In  1947.  He  was  an  assistant  In  the  .school 
of   Public   and    International  Affairs   at   Princeton 


and  taught  for  several  years  at  Hofstra  College  be- 
fore the  war. 

During  the  war,  Kershaw  worked  in  the  Bureau 
of  Labor  Statistics  before  moving  into  the  Office 
of  Price  Administration.  He  was  appointed  to  head 
the  Ration  Banking  Branch,  where  he  conceived 
and  supervised  the  ration  stamp  plan  which  was  in 
effect  during  the  war  years. 

Kershaw  assumed  the  post  of  visiting  professor 
of  economics  at  the  University  of  Sao  Paulo,  In 
Brazil,  where  he  first  met  Charles  Hitch,  who  was 
to  become  the  head  of  the  economics  department 
when  it  was  organized  at  RAND  in  1948.  Kershaw 
was  appointed  to  be  his  deputy  and  became  chair- 
man of  the  department  when  Hitch  was  promoted 
to  the  RAND  Research  Council  in  September,  1960. 

While  at  Rand,  Kershaw  set  up  the  Soviet  ec- 
onomic study  program,  one  of  the  outstanding  cen- 
ters of  Soviet  study  in  the  country.  Now  he  is  a 
member  of  the  Social  Science  Research  Council, 
which  encourages  research  on  the  erionomic  devel- 
opment of  the  potential  of  China. 

A  book  which  Kershaw  wrote  with  Roland  Mc- 
Kean.  a  colleague  at  Rand,  was  published  last  fall 
as  The  Teacher  ShortaKe  and  .Salary  Structures.

HOW  TO  SEE  EUROPE 
FOR  ONLY  $300  A  DAY:  NO.  3 

W\^pn  nil  of  you  ro  to  Europe  during  your  summer  vacation, 
you  will  certainly  want  to  visit  Spain,  where  the  tall  corn  Rrow.s, 
Tlic  first  (liiiiK  you  will  notice  upon  eiitorinR  Spain  is  the 
absence  of  siliilMiits.  In  Spain  "s"  is  pronounced  "tli"  and 
tliereiiy  liniiRs  ;i  tale.  Until  the  rciRii  of  I'liiliii  IV— or  (iuy 
Fiiwkes,  IIS  he  wiis  .sonietinies  called— Sjiiiniards  said  "s"  just 
like  everylioiiy  else.  Philip  IV,  iiowcver,  lisped,  and  Spaniards, 
hnviiiK  an  ingrained  .sense  of  propriety  iind  not  wishiiif;;  to  eiii- 
li.'iiTMss  tlieir  inonarcli,  decideil  that  in ri/hoih/  should  lisp.  Thi.s 
did  indeed  put  I'hilip  1\"  very  iiiiich  at  his  ease,  Init  in  the  end 
it  turned  out  to  lie  a  very  had  thiiiK  for  Sjiaiii.  It  wrecked  the 
sassafras  industry— Spain's  priiieipal  source  of  revenue— and 
reduced  the  nation  to  11  second-class  power. 


C. 


As  a  result,  Spiuiiards  were  all  forced  to  turn  to  bull  fiRhting 
in  order  to  keep  body  and  soul  toRcther.  Today,  wherever  you 
Ro  in  Spain-in  Madrid,  in  Hareelon.i,  in  Toledo,  in  Cleveland 
—you  will  see  hulls  lieiiiR  foiiRht.  l''or  many  years  the  bulls 
have  souRht  to  arliitnite  this  loiiR-staiidiiiR  disi)ute,  but  the 
Sjiaiiiiirds,  a  proud  people  who  use  iiotliinR  but  Castile  soap, 
have  rejected  all  overtures. 

If  is  therefore  necessary  for  tnc  to  explain  bull  fightinR  to 
an.vone  who  is  RoiiiR  to  Spain.  It  is  also  neces.sary  for  ine  to 
say  a  few  words  about  Marlboro  CiRarettcs  because  they  pay 
me  for  writiiiR  this  cohinin,  and  they  are  inclined  to  poiit  if  I 
iRiiore  their  product.  In  truth,  it  is  no  chore  for  me  to  .sing  the 
liraises  (if  Marlboro  CiRarettcs,  for  I  am  one  who  fairly  swoons 
with  deliRht  when  I  come  upon  a  ciRiirette  which  Rives  you  the 
full,  rich  taste  of  Rood  tobaccos  plus  the  jjure  white  Selectrate 
filter,  and  Marlboro  is  the  only  smoke  I  have  found  that  fulfills 
both  requirements.  Oli,  what  a  i)iocc  of  work  i.s  Marlboro!  The 
flavor  reaches  you  without  stint  or  diminution.  You,  even  as  I, 
will  find  these  statements  to  be  Imppily  true  when  once  you 
liRht  11  Marlboro.  Marlboros  come  to  you  in  soft  pack  or  Flip- 
Toj)  box,  and  are  iiiiiih,  only  by  the  liiakcrs  of  Marlboro. 

But  I  digress.  Let  us  return  to  bull  fighting.  Bulls  are  by 
nature  bellicosi'  creatures  who  will  keep  fighting  till  the  cows 
come  home.  Then  tliey  like  to  put  on  pipe  and  slippers  and 
listen  to  the  "Farm  and  Iloiiic  Hour."  However,  the  Spaniards 
will  not  allow  the  bulls  any  surceiwe.  They  keep  attacking  the 
bull  and  inakinR  xcroi.iciis-a  corn  meal  pancake  filled  with 
ground  meat.  Bulls,  being  vegetarians,  reject  the  veronicas 
and  then,  believe  you  mo,  the  fur  starts  to  fly  I 

To  be  [lerfcctly  honest,  many  Spaniards  liave  grown  weary 
of  this  inces.sant  struggle  and  have  left  tlieir  homeland.  Co- 
lumbus, for  example,  took  olT  in  three  little  .ships-the  Patti, 
the  Maxcne,  and  the  Laverne-and  discovered  Ohio.  Magellan 
later  discovered  Columbus.  Balboa  also  sailed  to  the  New 
World,  but  he  was  silent  on  a  peak  in  Darien,  so  it  is  difficult 
to  know  what  ho  discovered. 

Well  sir,  I  guess  that's  all  you  need  to  know  about  Spain. 
So  now,  as  the  setting  sun  casts  its  rosy  fingers  over  El  Greco, 
let  us  take  our  reluctant  leave  of  Spain-or  Perfidious  Albion, 
as  It  IS  jocularly  called.  Aloha,  Spain  or  Perfidious  Albion,  aloha!

Chandler  Offered  Grant  To  Travel, 
Research  In  India  This  Summer 


Dr.  John  W.  Chandlci-,  Chair- 
man  of  the  Dfparlment  of  Reli- 
gion at  Williams  College,  has  been 
awarded  a  PulbriKht  grant  for  two 
months  of  travel  and  research  in 
India  this  summer. 

He  will  travel  to  Washington, 
D.  C,  on  June  12  for  orientation 
by  the  Department  of  State,  and 
flying  to  India  around  the  15th 
where  he  will  remain  until  the 
middle  of  August. 

Twenty  rarlicipaiits 

Dr.  Chandler  is  one  of  twenty 
American  teachers  from  colleges 
who  will  participate  in  the  Ful- 
brlght  program  known  as  the 
Summer  Institute  in  Indian  Civ- 
ilization, to  be  held  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Mysore. 

The  Institute  will  offer  a  brief 
but  intensive  survey  of  Indian 
history,  institutions,  and  culture, 
and  first-hand  experience  of  mod- 
ern India.  The  faculty  of  the  In- 
stitute will  consist  primarily  of 
teachers  from  the  host  university. 

To  Pursue  Projects 

Besides  talking  courses,  the  par- 


ticipants will  lake  trips  within 
India,  and  each  will  pursue  his 
own  research  project.  Dr.  Chand- 
ler's research  project  will  center 
around  an  examination  of  the  de- 
gree of  conflict  and  accommoda- 
tion between  the  ancient  Hindu 
doctrines  of  "karma"  and  "sam- 
sara"  and  such  recently  ascendent 
ideas  as  economic  improvement, 
historical  development,  and  hu- 
man equality. 

Karma  is  the  law  of  moral  cause 
and  effect  by  which  Hinduism  ex- 
plains an  individual's  present  cir- 
cumstances as  the  product  of  pre- 
vious moral  choices.  Samsara  is 
t'"'  cycle  of  reincarnations  by 
which  souls  are  endlessly  reborn 
into  a  succe.ssion  of  different  bod- 
ies, botli  human  and  animal. 

To  qualify  for  the  Indian 
grants,  one  must  have  had  some 
background  of  study  in  some  as- 
pect of  Asian  history  or  culture. 
Special  consideration  is  given  to 
candidates  from  institutions  that 
are  developing  or  improving  cour.se 
offerings  in  Indian  or  Asian  stu- 
dies.

It  is  thus  a.s.sumed  that  the  rea- 
son for  Coffin's  plea  was  a  need 
for  a  strong  support  for  King. 

The  Birmingham  action  is  the 
largest  struggle  the  King  forces 
have  undergone  so  far,  and  fail- 
ure there  could  mean  a  shift  in 
leadership  to  moi'o  irresponsible 
hands  or  to  the  outbreak  of  mob- 
bism.   With   over   two   and  a    half 


thousand  negroes  now  in  make- 
shift jails,  the  .situation  still  shows 
little  sign  of  reaching  a  solution. 
Bock-throwing,  and  other  out- 
bursts of  violence  against  the 
police  dogs  and  fire-hoses  have 
occured. 

Several  groups  of  students  here 
are  reported  ready  to  leave  if 
Eusden  feels  their  presence  would 
be  at  all  helpful.

Trustees  Hold  Annual  May  Meeting ; 
Transition  Is  One  Discussion  Topic 

TIk;  Board  i)t  Tru.stet's  of  tlie  College  convened  for  tliree  days 
ill  Wiiliumstown  over  the  weekend.  The  uiuiual  Miiy  nieetiiij;  luis 
become  synoiionious  for  "l)ig  thiiiji;s"  as  far  as  the  trustees  are  coii- 
cern<,'d. 

This  year's  meetinj{  was  certainly  no  exce|)tion,  as  tlie  ajD- 
|)(iiiitments  of  Benjamin  W.  Laharee  and  Jost-ph  Kershaw  were 
a|)|)r()\ed,  and  chiin^ed  the  college's  administrative  liieiarcliy  in 
I  lie  doing. 

The  meeting  also  provided  the  group  with  ample  time  to 
(lisenss  the  pertinent  issues,  particularly  the  fraternitv  (jnestion 
which  has  been  ever-|ireseiit  in  all  gatherings  of  alumni.  Sin'oral 
of   the  trustees   noted   that  alum- 


ni sentiment  has  been  changing 
toward  the  proposed  transition, 
and  gave  considerable  credit  to 
President  Sawyer's  speaking  en- 
gagements around  the  country  for 
this  shift. 

The  trustees  also  attended  the 
dedication  of  the  new  Building 
and  Grounds  Building,  the 
$175,000  edifice  on  Latham  Street. 
Charles  Foehl,  treasurer  of  the 
school,  .served  as  master  of  cere- 
monies. 

All  of  the  gathered  dignitaries 
praised  Peter  M.  Walanetz,  direc- 
tor of  the  physical  plant  of  the 
College,  for  what  Foehl  called  "his 
vision  from  the  beginning."  "He 
put  together  an  organization  and 
physical  plant  that  lias  provided 
excellent  service  and  will  be  val- 
uable for  the  future,"  Foehl  stat- 
ed. 

The  trustees  also  attended  the 
dedication  of  the  new  William 
Isbister  Millham  Planetariimi  in 
the  Hopkins  Observatory.  Milham 
was  a  professor  of  astronomy  at 
Williams  for  many  years.

In  Lawrence  Museum 

The  College  Museum  of  Art  has 
opened  an  exhibition  of  35  paint- 
ings and  drawings  of  Kenneth 
Callahan,  from  the  collection  of 
Emily  Winthrop  Miles  of  New 
York. 

Prominent  among  contemporary 
American  artists,  Callahan  was  a- 
warded  a  Guggenheim  Fellowship 
to  travel  in  Europe  in  1954,  and 
in  1957  he  was  the  State  Depart- 
ment's representative  with  a  trav- 
eling exhibition  of  works  by  eight 
American  artists. 

He  has  had  many  one-man 
shows,  his  works  have  appeared  in 
international  traveling  exhibitions 
and  he  is  represented  in  about  30 
mu.seums  across  the  country.  Cal- 
lahan is  noted  for  his  drawings  of 
animals  and  insects,  combining 
an  Oriental  gentleness  of  touch 
with  contemporary  Western  feel- 
ings of  violence. 


Undergraduate  Morality  Defined 


Professors  Don  Gifford,  John 
Eusden,  and  Nicholas  Fersen, 
chewed  up  "Undergraduate  Moral- 
ity" Thursday  night  at  a  collo- 
quium at  Delta  Phi. 

Emphasizing  that  "undergradu- 
ate morality  is  not  a  .special  case, 
but  simply  a  part  of  society's  mor- 
ality," Gifford  expanded  three 
personal  axioms  of  moral  behav- 
ior in  society.  "First:  it  is  wrong 
to  make  a  convenience  of  anoth- 
er human   being. 

"Second,  it  is  wrong  to  invade 
another's  privacy."  Man  must  not 
attempt  to  touch  upon  or  plunge 
into  the  inner  turbulence  of  an- 
other human  being.  Gifford  stated 
that  people  must  be  taken  at  their 
face  value,  even  if  inconvenient. 
The  more  intimate  a  relationship 
between  two  individuals  becomes, 
the  more  formal  it  must  become, 
of  necessity. 

Discussing  the  tragedy  of  "curb- 
stone psychoanalysis,"  Gifford  de- 
fended the  individual's  right  to 
remain  undisturbed  by  other  peo- 
ple, and  not  to  become  subject  to 
amateur  analyses  of  motives  and 
meanings     offered     by      helping 


friends.  And,  hence,  the  third  ax- 
iom, "One  cannot  treat  oneself  or 
others  as  quantities." 

He  then  attempted  to  offer  ap- 
plications and  examples  of  his 
regrula,  citing  the  case  of  the  dean 
of  a  nearby  woman's  college,  who 
has  attempted  to  restrain  com- 
pletely the  sexual  mores  of  her 
students,  and  that  of  the  man 
(bearing  strong  resemblance  to 
author  Paul  Goodman)  who 
preaches  complete  disregard  for 
society's  ethic  in  sexual  matters. 

Eusden  employed  the  topic  to 
enumerate  the  various  types  of 
individual  moralities  he  has  en- 
countered at  Williams.  His  list  in- 
cluded seven  categories:  the  con- 
ventionalist, dull  and  accepting 
the  moral  standards  offered  by  so- 
ciety; the  rebel,  for  whom  rebel- 
lion itself  is  an  act  of  morality; 
the  drifter,  who  acts  with  little 
conviction  about  rightness  or  in- 
justice, but  only  by  impulse  "with- 
out direction." 

Fourth  on  the  list  was  the  "do- 
gooder,"  a  clearly  secular  member 
of  the  "God-Squad",  living  a  life 
of  passionate  piety.  Following  him, 


the  moral  realist,  who  believes 
that  man  may  be  free  to  choose 
his  actions,  but  not  the  conse- 
quences of  his  actions.  Such  an 
individual  may  be  religious  or  not, 
but  his  means  of  action  is  not 
strictly  formulated.  The  last  two 
categories  included  those  indivi- 
duals classified  as  the  "moral  cow- 
ard," whose  problem  is  one  of  the 
will  ("The  good  that  I  would  I 
do  not"),  and  last,  the  so-called 
"double-lifer",  one  whose  will  is 
not  only  weak,  but  also  deceiving. 

Fersen  succinctly  defined  mor- 
ality when  uniquely  applied  to  the 
undergraduate  as  creativity,  and 
immorality  as  the  "squandering  of 
talent."  "College  is  the  first  and 
last  place  where  one  can  look 
meaningfully  beyond  the  tip  of 
his  own  nose,"  Fersen  stated,  and 
therefore,  one  must  act  morally 
through  creativity. 

Fersen  remarked  that  he  is  not 
offended  morally  by  occasional 
drunkenness,  disregard  for  dorm 
hours,  or  for  the  honor  system  ("I 
would  be  sad,  but  not  morally  of- 
fended"). "My  blood  boils,  though,

Students  Charged  With  Subversion ; 
Three  Indiana  'Socialists'  Indicted 


A  Monroe  County  Grand  Jury 
Indicted  three  University  of  In- 
diana students  yesterday  on 
charges  of  subversion. 

Ralpti  Levitt,  president  of  the 
Young  Socialist  Alliance  on  the 
Blooir.lngton  campus;  James 
Bingham,  secretary  and  former 
president,  and  Thomas  Morgan, 
also  a  member  of  YSA,  were  in- 
dicted on  charges  of  advocating 
violent  overthrow  of  the  United 
States  government. 

Levitt  did  not  testify  at  the 
trial  but  according  to  Indiana 
Dean  of  Students  Robert  Shaffer, 
"We  have  no  reason  to  believe 
that  his  absence  of  the  last  few 
days  is  related  to  the  case."  Bing- 
ham,  however,   did   testify. 

Forceful  Doctrine 

The  charges  came  as  a  result  of 
a  March  25  campus  meeting  spon- 
sored by  the  YSA,  at  which  Leroy 
McRea,  former  candidate  for  New 
York  attorney  general,  advocated 
"the  doctrine  that  the  government 
of  the  United  States  or  of  the 
state  of  Indiana  should  be  over- 
thrown by  force,  violence,  or  any 
unlawful  means.'' 

McRea  told  the  meeting  "We 
want  political  power.  Those  who 
have  power  have  denied  us  our 
rights.  We  will  achieve  that  nec- 
essary power  one  way  or  another." 


He  added,  "I  say  we  will  be  ready 
to  use  either  non-violence  or  vio- 
lence to  achieve  that  aim." 

This  will  be  the  first  test  for  a 
1951  anti-Communist  Indiana 
statute,  which  according  to  Shaf- 
fer "is  similar  to  the  Pennsylvania 
law  that  was  declared  unconstitu- 
tional in  1955." 

Dr.  Robert  Risk,  president  of  the 
Indiana  Civil  Liberties  Union, 
pledged  help  for  the  students.  "We 
already  have  studied  this  case  and 
have  done  research  on  the  Indiana 
law,  which  we  believe  is  unconsti- 
tutional," he  said. 

Prosecutor  Thomas  A.  Hoadley 
asserted,  "We  believe  that  this 
statute  is  constitutional,  and  we 
will  fight  it  to  the  Supreme  Court 
if  necessary." 

Hoadley  said  that  he  had  shown 
the  jury  the  Nov.  2,  1962  House 
Un-American  Activities  Commit- 
tee report  in  which  the  YSA  was 
named  as  "The  youth  group  of 
the  Socialist  Workers  Party." 

He  claimed  that  the  YSA  is  a 
"base  organization  for  revolution- 
ary Socialism  in  the  tradition  of 
Marx,  Engels,  and  Lenin." 

However,  Hoadley  was  quoted 
earlier  as  having  said,  "  I  would 
have  preferred  for  the  university 
to  do  this  rather  than  have  to 
proceed  in  court." 


Coffin  Returns  To  Offer  Challenge

rights  today.  He  suggested  that  the 
"revolution  of  rising  expectations" 
in  other  countries  has  become  for 
the  American  Negro  the  "revolu- 
tion of  di.sappjinted  hopes."  Thus 
every  Negro  is  coming  to  feel  in 
his  own  mind  a  split  between  the 
peaceful  but  less  than  effective 
measures  of  the  N.  A.  A.  C.  P., 
and  the  more  violent  alternative  of 
the  Black  Muslims.  He  pointed  to 
the  writings  of  James  Baldwin  as 
typical  of  this  division  within  the 
American   Negro's   thinking. 

Coffin  suggested  that  the  gov- 
emment  is  not  being  very  help- 
ful. "The  Kennedys  are  working 
according  to  a  predetermined 
.schedule,''  he  noted,  "so  that  Ken- 
nedy appears  to  have  a  role 
of  reluctant  emancipator.  It's  up 
to  the  citizens  of  the  country  to 
exert  pressure  to  force  his  hand." 

The  problems  of  the  South  were 
not  his  major  concern,  however, 
and  he  moved  quickly  into  the 
trouble  in  the  great  urban  ghettos 
to  which  many  Negroes  have  come 
from  the  South.  He  pointed  out 
the  Interrelation  of  the  problems 
of  education,  employment  and 
housing,  and  challenged  his  listen- 
ers to  become  involved  in  social 
action  so  that  they  could  apply 
their  special  talents  and  abilities. 

The  specific  answer  as  to  what 
the  Individual  college  student  can 
do  became  clear  in  Chapel  as  Cof- 
fin spoke  on  "Some  dimensions  in 
Job  Choosing."  He  had  already 
suggested  that  sympathetic  whites 
could  at  least  live  in  Integrated 
neighborhoods,  attend  integrated 
churches,  and  participate  in  or- 
ganizations such  as  the  Urban 
League  or  N.AA.CJ».  Here,  how- 
ever, his  challenge  became  more 
personal. 


He  charged  that  on  this  very 
important  question  of  "What 
Shall  I  Do?"  it  was  incredible 
that  churches  and  colleges  were 
so  indifferent.  He  pointed  out  that 
most  colleges  are  so  concerned 
with  public  opinion  that  sexual 
morality  becomes  more  important 
than  vocational  morality. 

Coffin  argued  that  the  question 
of  "What  Shall  I  Do?"  has  to  fol- 
low that  of  "Who  Shall  I  Be?"  He 
suggested  that  in  tackling  the  soc- 
ial inequalities  of  our  country  one 
may  find  self-fulfillment  which  is 
the  greatest  joy  known  to  man  - 
that  is  discovering  that  you  are 
living  the  life  that  you  were 
meant  to  hve.  He  challenged  the 
audience  not  to  take  the  tradi- 
tional road  of  entering  the  guilt- 
less society,  but  rather  to  meet 
the  needs  that  its  particular  tal- 
ent allow  in  "some  clearly  defined 
pocket  of  more  than  average 
need." 

After  Chapel,  Coffin  moved  to 
the  Student  Union,  and  his  eager 
following  listened  to  him  pro- 
nounce on  a  wide  range  of  sub- 
jects. He  gave  a  great  push  for 
the  work  of  the  Northern  Stu- 
dent Movement,  and  urged  all  his 
listeners  to  participate  in  the 
summer  tutorial  projects  as  a 
first  exposure  to  tlie  prob- 
lems they  will  have  to  face. 

A  swell  of  applause  came  for- 
ward as  the  questions  were  over. 
Many  of  the  people  had  spent  al- 
most five  hours  listening,  and 
some  were  hearing  him  for  the 
fourth  time.  He  had  their  atten- 
tion, because  he  came  to  the  Berk- 
shires  with  his  always  exciting 
message  of  the  possible  joys  and 
pressing  needs  of  a  world  eagerly 
awaiting  the  leadership  that  Wil- 
liams students  can  provide.

when  I  see  college  taken  ad- 
vantage of  as  a  ticket  office  on 
the  way  to  suburbia."  This, 
according  to  Fersen,  is  the  shame 
of  the  undergraduate;  that  Amer- 
ican colleges  manage  to  be  "crass, 
bored,  and  technologically  profi- 
cient." Such  a  situation  will  re- 
main as  long  as  the  undergrad- 
uate is  pampered  by  too  many 
trivial  regulations,  and  as  long  as 
he  is  allowed  to  remain  lax  aca- 
demically. 

Persen  proposed  his  solution  to 
"open  the  labyrinth":  that  the 
college  must  abolish  the  cut  sys- 
tem, majors,  required  courses, 
dorm  hours,  and  freshman  segre- 
gation. At  the  same  time  it  must 
"raise  the  academic  standards  to 
lofty  heights,"  by  supplying  "the 
grail  the  student  is  seeking."  The 
oolleg«  can  then  demand  achieve- 
ment and  moral  stature  -  creativ- 
ity and  inqulsltiveness.

some  stipulations  that  are  desired. 
No  structural  changes  shall  be 
made,  the  cook  and  handyman 
shall  be  retained  at  present  wages, 
the  fraternity  members  shall  have 
first  choice  of  living  in  the  house 
and  choice  of  rooms  therein,  and 
that  the  chapter  room  would  be 
retained  for  sole  use  of  the  fra- 
ternity members. 

The  house  president  said  that 
he  did  not  think  that  the  house 
should  fear  a  suit  from  the  na- 
tional chapter  because  there  is  no 
clause  In  the  local's  charter  con- 
cerning transference  of  property 
back  to  the  national  organization. 
Tucker  also  .said  that  the  nation- 
al had  been  notified  but  there  has 
been  no  reaction  as  yet.

He  struck  out  Kidd,  however,  to 
close  the  frame  as  far  as  Eph 
batthiK  was  concerned.  But  Am- 
herst also  had  some  eighth-inn- 
ing work  to  do.  A  very  costly  er- 
ror by  Ben  Wagner  was  surround- 
ed by  singles  (there  were  17  singles 
hit  during  the  game)  by  Brumm, 
a  pinch-hitter,  and  Haggerty. 

With  ba.ses  thus  loaded,  Dono- 
van induced  Ganni  to  ix)p  up  to 
Berry  at  third  base.  To  the  dis- 
may of  everyone,  the  tired  pitch- 
er issued  his  fourth  fatal  base  on 
balls  to  force  in  the  tying  run. 
John  Warnock  capped  tlie  pro- 
ceedings, and  blasted  the  next 
pitch  out  of  sight  for  a  grand 
slam  liome  run. 

The  demoralized  Ephs  were 
blinded  by  Haggerty  in  the  last 
frame.  Two  struck  out  and  Leroy 
tapped  to  the  first  ba.seman.  It 
was  a  sad  day  for  the  Ephs,  who 
are  now  in  the  throes  of  a  four- 
game  losing  streak  and  have  lost 
to  Wesleyan  and  Amherst.  Union

Grand  Slam  Home  Run  Spells  Doom  For  Ephmen ; 
Amherst  Beats  Donovan  9-5  On  Eighth-Inning  Blast 


Tlie  varsity  baseball  team,  .sul- 
feriiig  from  a  chronic  case  of  late- 
inniuK  blues,  fell  to  Amherst  last 
Saturday,  9-5.  Bobby  Coombs' 
swingers,  behind  pitclier  John 
Donovan,  had  a  5-4  lead  as  late 
as  the  top  of  the  eighth,  but  six 
outs  later  found  themselves  losers 
by  that  four-run  margin. 

Here  is  the  sad  story:  the  Ephs, 
as  usual,  jumped  off  to  an  early 
lead  with  two  runs  in  their  first 
chance.  One  hit  (by  George  May- 
er), sufficed  as  the  scoring  was 
aided  by  a  walk  and  a  case  of 
catcher's  interference. 


Fros/i  Tennis  Wins; 
Downs  Hotchkiss  9-0 

The  Williams  freshman  tennis 
team,  playing  its  first  away 
match,  easily  defeated  a  Hotchkiss 
squad  last  Saturday  by  a  score  of 
9-0. 

This  was  the  third  straight  vic- 
tory for  the  highly-rated  Williams 
racketmen  after  suffering  their 
first  and  only  defeat  of  the  .sea- 
son at  the  hands  of  Kent. 

Tom  Thornhill  led  the  shut-out 
victory  with  a  6-2,  6-3  win  over 
top  Hotchkiss  player  Ed  Madden. 
Bill  Ewen,  playing  in  tlie  second 
spot,  added  a  6-1,  6-1  victory  over 
his  Hotchkiss  opponent  Gair 
Betts. 

Pete  Allen,  playing  number 
three,  defeated  Eric  Coe  6-1,  6-4, 
while  Roger  Ruckman,  number 
four,  defeated  his  opponent,  C. 
Kenan,  6-1,  6-2.  IJoug  Schwab, 
playing  in  the  fifth  spot,  scored  a 
6-1,  6-1  victory  over  John  Place 
and  Ned  Donahue  beat  Grauer  6- 
1,  6-3. 

In  the  pro-set  doubles  matches, 
the  scores  were  closer  but  the  re- 
sults were  the  same.  Thornhill  and 
Ewen  pulled  out  the  only  close 
match  of  the  day  with  a  12-10 
defeat  of  Hotchkiss  pair  Madden 
and  Betts.  Continuing  the  win 
streak,  Allen  and  Atlas,  and 
Schwab  and  Jacobs  took  their 
matches.

Tlie  Eph  bats  were  then  effec- 
tively silenced  by  Amherst's  Scrib- 
ner.  Only  George  Mayer's  second 
liit,  a  double,  and  Ron  Kidd's 
single  marred  the  next  six  inn- 
ings. 

Eph  Fielding  Erratic 

Meanwhile,  Amherst  was  chop- 
ping away  at  Donovan's  deliveries, 
scoring  one  run  in  each  of  the 
second,  third,  fifth,  and  seventh 
innings.  Williams'  fielding  in  this 
stretch  was  rather  erratic.  Am- 
herst's score  in  the  second  was 
the  result  of  Kidd's  error  at  sec- 
ond base  with  two  on.  Tlien,  in 
the  third,  only  a  very  nice  double 
play  by  Ben  Wagner  from  first 
to  second  ithe  hard  way)  kept  a 
very  dangerous  situation  from  be- 
coming explosive. 

Donovan  made  the  mistake  of 
walking  the  leadoff  batter  in  the 
fifth.  Ken  Ganni,  who  drew  the 
pass,  was  sacrificed  to  second  by 
North.  He  scored  on  the  next  play 
on  a  long  fly  to  center  by  John 
Warnock.  This  play  was  to  prove 
an  omen,  for  it  put  Amherst  in 
the  lead  for  the  first  time,  and 
Mr.  Warnock  was  to  be  heard 
from   later. 

The  Jeffs  padded  their  lead  in 
the  seventh.  Donovan  issued  an- 
other enigmatic    base  on  balls   to 


Ganni  with  one  out.  Tins  .seemed 
to  open  the  gates,  for  North  fol- 
lowed with  a  one-baser  and  War- 
nock was  at  bat.  But  Dave  Mur- 
phy, a  soph  starting  his  first  uame 
as  catcher  this  year,  was  not  fool- 
ed when  the  powerful  centerfield- 
er  bunted  in  front  of  the  plate. 
Ho  alertly  grabbed  the  ball  and 
forced  Ganni  at  third. 

That  play  was  quite  fortunate, 
as  leftfielder  Lanning  followed 
with  a  run-scoring  single.  Dono- 
van barely  got  out  of  the  inning 
as  Warnock  was  unable  to  score 
on  Tom  Diehl's  single  and  Harris 
grounded  out  to  Wagner. 

It  was  now  Williams'  turn  to 
take  the  lead,  but  briefly.  To  open 
the  inning,  Scribner  gave  Dono- 
van too  sweet  a  pitch  which  the 
poor-hitting  Eph  pitcher  smacked 
for  his  first  safety  of  the  year. 
A  single  by  Liun,  and  Wagner's 
only  hit  of  the  day  followed,  and 
the  game  was  tied. 

Paul  Eckley,  the  Amherst  coach, 
thought  Scribner  had  had  enough, 
and  yanked  him  in  favor  of  Pete 
Haggerty.  The  lefthander  allowed 
a  single  to  Steve  Hyde  after  wild- 
pitching  Wagner  to  second,  and 
Williams  again  led.

Frosh  Baseball  Squad  Wins  Pair; 
Blanks  Amherst,  J-O,  R.  P.  /.,  2-fl 


The  Williams  freshman  baseball  \ 
team  came  up  with  two  more  vic- 
tories last  week  to  extend  their 
flawless  record  to  4-0.  On  May  1, 
at  RPI  and  at  Amherst  on  Satur- 
day, the  frosh  amassed  a  total  of 
nine  runs,  all  unearned,  on  eight 
hits  while  holding  their  opponents 
to  no  runs  and  just  four  hits. 

Bobby  Wallace  was  the  starting 
pitcher  against  RPI.  Although  hit 
rather  hard  in  the  early  innings, 
he  allowed  only  two  hits  without 
a  run  in  the  five  innings  he  pitch- 
ed. Jim  Kile  came  on  to  relieve 
in  the  sixth  and  completed  the 
game  without  giving  up  a  hit. 

Offensively,  Williams  was  also 
held  to  two  hits  but  capitalized 
on  RPI  miscues  for  the  2-0  vic- 
tory.   There    was    no    score    until

the  eighth  inning  when  Pete  Wil- 
liamson reached  third  and  then 
scored  on  two  consecutive  errors. 
In  the  ninth,  Kile  doubled  and 
went  to  third  on  an  error.  He 
then  reached  home  on  still  an- 
other RPI  bobble. 

The  win  over  Amherst  was  a- 
gain  a  case  of  the  frosh  cash- 
ing in  on  the  flubs  of  their  op- 
ponents. Wallace  again  started 
for  Williams  and  this  time  went 
all  the  way  turning  in  a  fine  two 
hit  performance  to  lead  the  frosh 
to   the  7-0  triumph. 

In  this  contest,  the  Ephlets 
gathered  six  hits  off  three  pitchers 
but,  once  more,  none  of  the  runs 
scored  in  the  game  were  earned. 
Jimmy  Straub  led  Williams  with 
two  hits  while  Pete  Ross'  double 
was  the  only  extra  base  knock 
for  the  freshmen. 

The  frosh  garnered  all  their 
runs  in  ,iust  two  innings  getting 
six  unearned  t.illies  in  the  third 
and  one  in  the  ninth. 

Defensively  for  the  freshmen 
Bill  Avner  in  left  field  and  Wil- 
liamson at  third  base  both  spark- 
led against  Amherst. 

Having  already  defeated  Wes- 
leyan.  Coach  Prank  Navarro's  im- 
pressive squad  clinched  a  tie  for 
the  Little  Three  championship 
with  the  victory  over  Amherst. 
The  frosh  have  two  more  confer- 
ence games  left  to  play. 

Williams  met  tlie  University  of 
Massachusetts  Monday  and  will 
play  Wesleyan  again  at  home  this 
Saturday.

Planskymen  Squeak  Past  Cardinals 
In  Crucial  72-63  Test  Of  Strength 

The  varsity  track  team  continued  its  wiimin  g  ways  Saturday  witli  a  tight  72-63  defeat  of  Wes- 
leyan.  This  victory  runs  the  Eplis'  record  to  4-0,  and  jjiits  them  past  the  first,  and  more  imjjorlant 
hurdle  on  the  way  to  the  Little  Three  Crown.  Williams  is  favored  to  beat  Amherst  on  iMiday  and 
thus  wrap  up  Uie  leaj!;ue  race. 

The  telliiiK  factor  in  the  Purple  victory  was  supremacy  in  the  runninf^  events.  The  Ephs  could 
only  pick  up  three  of  seven  firsts  in  the  field  events  where  Wesleyan  held  a  32-31  point  advanta>;e. 
The  Planskynien's  stiength  lay  in  the  track  events  where  five  of  eight  firsts  helped  build  a  41-31 

margin. 

Again  the  Ephs  were  sparked  by 
strong  individual  performances: 
Captain  Karl  Neuse  and  Hurdler 
Boots  Deichmann  were  both  dou- 
ble winners  while  distance  man 
Rick  Ash  came  through  with  two 
important  seconds. 

Neuse  won  the  440  with  an  im- 
pressive time  of  49.5.  John  Os- 
borne also  finished  under  50.0  for 
a  second  place.  In  the  220  Neuse 
breezed  to  victory  in  22.2.  Deich- 
mann won  both  hurdles  races  a- 
gainst  stiff  competition  from  Ber- 
rien of  Wesleyan, 

The  only  other  win  in  the  run- 
ning events  was  Dave  Kershaw's 
10.1  performance  in  the  100. 
Deichmann  added  a  second,  mak- 
ing him  high  point  man  with  13. 

Cardinal  strength  was  in  the 
distances,  where  Wesleyan's  Mc- 
Kinnon  twice  edged  out  Ash  in  the 
mile  and  880,  in  admirable  times 
of  4:27.9  and  1:57.9.  In  the  2  mile 
Danforth  of  Wesleyan  bested  Eph 
Oi  orge  Anderson,  to  complete  the 
Cirdinal  sweep  of  the  distance  e- 
vonts. 

In  the  field  events  Williams 
turned  in  victories  in  the  pole 
vault,  hammer,  and  high  jump. 
Eph  John  Marxer  reached  12'  m 
the  pole  vault.  John  Dixon  and 
Skip  Gaillard  were  also  impres- 
sive as  the  Purple  completed  a 
near-sweep  of  the  event. 

Dave  Steward  leaped  5'10"  to 
take  the  high  jump,  and  Bob 
Warner  won  with  a  149'  5  and 
one-half  inches  heave  in  the  ham- 
mer. Reindorf  of  Wesleyan  turn- 
ed in  victories  in  the  javelin  and 
broad  jump,  but  the  Ephs  picked 
up  important  seconds  and  thirds.

Ephs  Score  First 

Williams  .scored  the  first  goal  of 
the  game  at  9:35  of  the  first  per- 
iod, and  then  stood  back  and 
watched  as  the  Cardinals  scored 
seven  straight. 

The  first  Eph  goal  was  scored 
by  Bobby  Halligan  unassisted. 
Then  the  Purple  waited  alwut  35 
minutes  for  Mike  Annison  to  score 
the  first  of  his  three  goals  in  the 
fourth  period. 

5-1  At  Half  Time 

In  the  meantime,  Wesleyan's 
John  Burt  scored  once  in  the  op- 
ening stanza  to  tie  the  score.  Burt 
then  scored  two  goals  in  the  next 
period,  while  Allen  and  Russell 
added  one  apiece  to  give  the  home 
club  a  5-1  lead. 

Burt's  fourth  goal  at  4:10  of 
the  third  frame  put  the  game  out 
of  reach.  Medd's  insurance  goal 
at  11:20  of  the  same  period 
wound  up  the  Wesleyan  scoring. 

Annison  Scores  Two 

The  Ephs  came  on  strong  in 
the  last  period  with  Aimison  net- 
ting two  scores  in  the  first  min- 
ute and  a  half.  The  first  of  these 
came  on  an  assist  from  Ron  Stem- 
pien. 

Al  Mondell  scored  Williams' 
fourth  goal  at  10:17,  and  he  was 
followed  closely  by  Annison's  final 
goal  at  11:34  which  wound  up  the 
scoring  for  the  game.  Mondell  was 
assisted  by  Snuffy  Leach,  and  An- 
nison by  Bill  Bachle. 

The  Ephs  were  unable  to  get 
off  many  shots,  forcing  Motz,  the 


Wesleyan  goaltender,  to  make  on- 
ly  18  saves. 
To  Face  B.P.I. 

Williams  faced  R.P.I,  yesterday 
on  Cole  Field.  Saturday's  contest 
with  Amherst  will  give  the  Ephs 
a  possible  shot  at  a  tie  for  the 
Little  Three  crown.  The  team 
stands  2-4  on  the  season.

MIT  Beats  Ruggers ; 
Eph  B   Team   Wins 

The  Williams  Rugby  Club  var- 
sity was  edged  5-3  by  an  exper- 
ienced MIT  squad  Saturday.  After 
a  big  16-13  victory  over  Dart- 
mouth's B  team  last  week,  the 
loss  was  a  tough  one  for  the  im- 
proving Williams  fifteen. 

MIT   OFFENSE 

Although  bigger  and  stronger  in 
the  scrum,  Williams  lacked  the 
finesse  of  their  opponents.  MIT 
worked  a  skillful  offense,  passing 
and  running  effectively  in  the 
line.  They  kicked  frequently  to 
nullify  many  Williams  scoring 
threats. 

Perhaps  the  most  important 
factor  in  the  Williams  loss  was 
place  kicking.  While  Williams 
missed  three  penalty  kicks  and  a 
conversion,  MIT  converted'  their 
sole  try  to  give  them  the  two  point 
margin  of  victory. 

Comfort 

One  bright  spot  of  the  day  for 
Williams  was  the  spectacular  run- 
ning of  Lee  Comfort.  A  fine 
ground  gainer  all  day.  Comfort 
scored  the  one  purple  try  on  a 
fla.shy  fifteen  yard  run.  Tom  Ho- 
well, Steve  Kagan,  and  Al  Hage- 
man  also  performed  well  for  the 
varsity. 

B  Team 

In  a  contest  which  followed  the 
varsity  game  the  Williams  second 
team  provided  some  consolation 
for  the  Cole  field  fans  when  they 
emerged  with  an  8-3  victory  over 
MIT's  B  team.  Alex  Nagy  and  an 
unidentified  Williams  student 
scored  trys,  while  Johnny  DiMiceli 
kicked  a  conversion  for  Williams. 

The  varsity  now  has  a  2-2  rec- 
ord while  the  second  team  stands 
1-1. 


Bud  Elliott  Named 
1964  Squash  Captain 

Bud  Elliott  was  chosen  cap- 
tain of  next  year's  squash  team 
at  the  annual  squash  banquet 
last  week. 

Elliott,  who  had  never  play- 
ed squash  before  entering  Wil- 
liams, picked  up  the  game  well 
enough  from  his  tennis  exper- 
ience to  play  in  the  number 
four  slot  of  this  year's  Little 
Three  champion  club. 

Elliott  will  succeed  O  e  o  r  g  e 
Kllborn  as  captain.

Taps  20  Juniors 


Maximum    Selected ; 
Interests   Varied 


Late  this  afternoon  eighteen 
black-robed  Seniors  aulck-stepped 
out  of  Jesup  Hall  and  in  a  ritual 
dating  bacic  to  1895  yanked  twenty 
members  of  the  Junior  class  off 
the  fence  running  along  the  south 
side  of  the  Science  Quad. 

The  men  thus  chosen  for  Gar- 
goyle were  considered  the  twenty 
outstanding  individuals  in  terms 
of  their  contribution  to  the  life 
of  the  college  in  their  class.  The 
traditionally  dramatic  ceremony 
was  watched  by  awe-struck  fresh- 
men, curious  upperclassmen,  and 
by  hidden  groups  of  proud  parents 
and  a  sprinkling  of  fiancees. 

The  interests  represented  range 
from  College  government  to  civil 
rights,  from  sports  to  the  theater. 
Most  of  the  new  Gargoyles  are 
candidates  for  Honors  Degrees. 
They  include  in  their  numbers 
nine  Junior  Advisors  and  eight 
house  presidents.  Their  habitats 
range  from  musty  library  stacks  to 
the  disordered  squalor  of  the  Rec- 
ord office,  from  the  spires  of  the 
chapel  to  the  bams  at  Churchill 
Downs. 


Grosvenor  Cup  Goes 
To   Steve    Birrell 


Stephen  R.  Birrell  received  the 
coveted  Grosvenor  Cup  at  the 
close  of  Tap  Day  ceremonies  this 
afternoon. 

The  cup,  given  to  the  College 
by  the  members  of  the  Interfra- 
temity  Council  of  1931  in  memory 
of  their  fellow  member  Allen  Liv- 
ingston Grosvenor  is  given  each 
year  to  "that  member  of  the  jun- 
ior class  who  best  exemplifies  the 
traditions  of  Williams  College." 

Birrell  is  currently  President  of 
the  Junior  Advisors  and  President 
of  Delta  Upsilon  Piaternity.  An 
American  History  and  Literature 
major,  he  has  also  been  a  stand- 
out performer  on  the  basketball 
court  for  the  past  three  years.  He 
has  been  active  on  the  Social 
Council  and  the  Honor  System 
and  Discipline  Committee. 

A  native  of  Chatham,  New  Jer- 
sey, Birrell  prepared  for  Williams 
at  Chatham  High  School.  Known 
to  his  friends  as  "Crane,"  he  is 
known  for  his  easy-going  good  na- 
ture and  his  penchant  for  making 
lists  to  "organize  his  time." 

Robert  Jerome  Seidman  receiv- 
ed the  award  last  year.

The  Being  Of  Gargoyle 

Tajjping  this  year  under  the  not  very  subdued  snickers  of  the 
Gurgle  Society  and  of  rather  more  ominous  i-umblings  from  the 
SouUi,  Gargoyle  finds  itself  in  a  rather  unique  position  on  a  still- 
divided  campus. 

As  the  Gurgles  so  hilariously  pointed  out,  everybody  seems 
to  be  taking  himself  rather  too  seriously  of  late,  and  pomposity 
and  righteousness  threaten  from  all  sides.  Coupled  with  the  basic 
antagonisms  aroused  by  the  fraternity  issue,  this  has  caused  a 
real  breakdown  in  communication  among  the  College  community. 

Perhaps  Gargoyle's  most  important  task  in  tlie  futui'e  will  be 
to  heal  this  breakdown,  and  to  work  intelligently  to  help  shape 
the  New  Williams.  As  representatives  of  the  best  of  all  elements 
of  the  campus,  and  as  outstanding,  interested  individuals,  they 
should  be  well-qualified. 

Gargoyle  has  no  real  hard  and  fast  "function"  in  the  sense  of 
something  to  "do";  rather,  each  succeeding  group  defines  its  own 
role  in  relation  to  the  campus.  Their  role  next  year  should  seem 
self-evident;  the  structure  of  the  society  itself  should  help  them 
to  fulfill  it. 

In  a  sense,  perhaps  Gargoyle's  most  valid  function  is  simply 
that  of  existing,  as  a  recognition  and  as  a  challenge.  By  its  very 
process  of  being,  the  interaction  of  its  members  should  produce 
a  positive  contribution.

Purple  Key  Society  Elects  18  Sophomores 


In  the  traditional  prelude  bo  the 
tapping  ceremony,  the  Purple  Key 
Society  announced  the  names  of 
its  new  members  from  the  class 
of   1965   today. 

The  Society's  eighteen  new 
members  are:  Richard  A.  Aborn; 
Stanley  C.  Allen;  John  H.  Bur- 
son;  Richard  M.  Conley;  Harry 
L.  Drake;  Daniel  E.  Hathaway; 
Prescott  V.  Kelly;  Ronald  C.  Kidd; 
PaulC.  Kimball;  Robert  W.  Lisle; 
David  P.  Murphy;  James  B.  Oren- 
berg;  Howard  C.  Peterson;  John 
D.  Rawls;  Norman  P.  Spack;  Gor- 
don T.  Sulcer;  John  A.  TuU. 

The  new  members  were   select- 


ed from  a  group  of  over  a  hun- 
dred cortipets  after  an  extremely 
arduous  training  and  elimination 
period,  according  to  John  Poster, 
'64,  outgoing  president  of  the  Key. 
"We  would  like  to  thank  everyone 
who  participated,"  he  stated, 
"The  new  members  are  to  be  con- 
gratulated for  an  outstanding  Job, 
and  wished  the  best  of  luck  in  the 
big  task  that  faces  them." 

The  Purple  Key  is  the  official 
host  to  all  visitors  to  Williams, 
including  sub-freshmen  and  visit- 
ing athletic  teams.  The  Key  also 
sponsors  and  runs  rallies,  banquets 
and   other    school    functions.

TRUST:  KEY  TO  MOTIVATION 


by  R.  Lisle  Baker 

Last  fall,  we  distributed  to  var- 
ious members  of  the  Williams 
community  a  prospectus  of  ideas 
on  the  Williams  education.  Re- 
plies were  received  from  a  large 
number  of  faculty,  students,  and 
recent  graduates.  For  the  last  few 
months  these  replies  have  been 
.sifted  and  evaluated.  What  follows 
i.s  the  result  of  that  study.  — ed. 


The  Angevine  Report  has  raised 
more  spirits  than  it  has  put  to 
lest.  The  most  important  is  a 
new  inquiry  into  the  whole  method 
and  design  behind  the  educational 
ijrocess  as  It  is  now  pursued  here 
at  Williams. 


ment  to  a  new  reality  and  for  des- 
truction of  a  few  illusions.  What 
the  college  can  do  is  to  try  to  In- 
sure that  the  experience  is  a 
broadening  and  not  a  narrowing 
one. 

For  example,  look  at  one  fresh- 
man course.  Political  Science  101- 
102.  On  the  surface  it  appears  to 
aim  at  teaching  two  things:  the 
techniques  of  critical  analysis  pe- 
culiar to  its  discipline,  and  some 
basic  information  (content)  about 
different  political  systems.  But 
look  at  the  results;  material  is  as- 
signed for  analysis  as  homework. 
Discussion  occurs  in  class  the  next 


LESS   EMPHASIS   ON    CLASSROOM. 


The  traditional  aim  of  the  col- 
lege is  to  expose  Its  students  to  a 
variety  of  disciplines  in  depth,  to 
train  and  develop  their  p>owers  of 
critical  analysis,  and  to  give  them 
tlio  intellectual  confidence  neces- 
.sary  to  meet  the  problems  of  life 
with  independence. 

Wha^  many  students  and  facul- 
ty are  asking  is  if  the  present 
means  to  that  end  might  not  be 
improved  to  meet  the  increased 
demands  imposed  both  by  bright- 
er students  and  by  the  expanding 
fields  of  knowledge. 

The  first  area  examined  was  the 
freshman  year.  In  some  respects 
this  is  the  most  important  period 
in  a  student's  college  career.  Here 
is  when  many  students  form  the 
attitude  toward  learning  they  will 
maintain  most  of  their  college 
lives.  It   Is   the  time  for    adjust- 


day.  A  few  significant  comments 
may  be  made  by  the  students,  but 
much  of  what  is  significant  on 
interpretation  of  content  is  often 
omitted.  So  naturally  the  instruc- 
tor fills  in  the  gaps,  and  the  stu- 
dents scribble  frantically  away  at 
notebooks.  Even  a  motivated  stu- 
dent will  see  little  use  developing 
his  own  abilities  in  analysis  when 
by  waiting  to  the  next  day  he  can 
"get  the  word." 

The  ii-ony  of  the  situation 
is  that  the  more  interesting  the 
instructor  and  the  better  organ- 
ized his  class  discussions,  the  more 
likely  is  this  tendency  to  appear. 
The  more  the  student  can  obtain 
in  class,  the  less  likely  he  is  to 
seek  it  outside.  Comes  the  exam, 
most  are  trapped  because  they 
have  been  allowed  to  coast  with- 
out  having   had   their    powers   of 


analysis  continually  challenged. 

Tlie  exam  often  gives  them 
their  comeuppance,  but  many 
question  why  it  should  have  to. 
Is  the  course  design  not  ineffi- 
cient? Political  Science  101-102  is 
only  one  example,  and  evidently 
not  the  worst  offender  in  the 
freshmen   sequences. 

Perhaps  a  course  can  be  design- 
ed so  the  students  would  be  con- 
stantly challenged  to  use  his  cwn 
powers  of  analysis,  and  to  rely 
less  on  the  instructor's, 

Why  not  set  up  a  course  where 
examination  would  be  made  on 
material  not  discussed  in  class? 
Such  a  course  might  be  designed 
like  this:  classes  would  be  labor- 
atories in  techniques  and  methods 
of  analysis — where  the  instructor 
uses  his  superior  background  to 
show  students  how  to  analyze  a 
document,  a  secondary  work  or 
other  material,  and  occasionally 
lectures  on  background  necessary 
for  outside  work. 

Students  then  work  at  home  on 
material  similar  to  the  topic  dis- 
cussed in  class,  but  working  on 
their  own,  using  techniques  gained 
in  class  discussion.  Here  the  stu- 
dent must  analyze  ail  the  time, 
and  not  just  on  papers,  because 
he  knows  he  cannot  rely  on  the 
class  to  give  him  the  interpreta- 
tion and  information  he  will  need 
for  the  exam.  Moreover,  he  is  de- 
veloping habits  of  thought  which 
he  can  retain  when  he  no  longer 
has  the  instructor's  guidance. 

In  addition,  it  might  be  useful 
to  have  a  short  period  of  no 
classes  where  the  student  works 
on  a  project  of  a  deep  and  con- 
centrated nature.  The  topic  would 
be  decided  jointly  between  the 
student  and  the  instructor,  but 
suitable  to  the  student's  present 
level  of  proficiency,  with  a  paper 
due  at  the  end  of  this  period. 

Such  a  project  would  put  the 
student  in  a  position  to  do  an- 
alysis in  depth  not  normally  pos- 
sible in  the  wide  scope  of  a  course. 
It  would  also  give  the  untried 
freshman  mind  a  project  which  is 
of  personal  significance  to  him. 

Such  is  the  rationale  behind  the 
increasingly  sophisticated  papers 
due  in  the  honors  courses — why 
not  have  one  in  the  freshman 
year?  In  several  courses  (Philoso- 
phy 101)  such  is  already  being 
done. 


eon  and  at  an  evening  meeting  in 
the  lounge  of  the  New  Dorm.  Both 
gatherings  were  sponsored  by  the 
Williams  Civil  Rights  Committee 
presently  under  the  leadership  of 
John  H.  K.  Davis  II,  '65,  and 
Steven  Block,  '65.  The  visit  of  the 
NSM  leaders  was  to  be  the  kick- 
off  for  the  Civil  Rights  fund 
drive  on  the  campus. 

Cliff  Henry  spoke  on  the  illu- 
sions of  progress  in  civil  rights 
which  are  so  much  publicized  and 
.so  little  true.  Rather,  the  case  is 
that  the  position  of  the  Ameri- 
can Negro  has  gotten  progressive- 
ly worse  over  the  past  ten  years  - 
particularly  since  the  Supreme 
Court  declsl>n  of  1954. 

The  change  for  the  worse  is 
particularly  noteworthy  In  North- 
ern cities,  where  previously  heter- 
ogcr.-'ous  neighborhoods  are  as- 
.suming  the  character  of  indepen- 
dent white  and  Negro  ghettos. 

A  major  problem  for  any  civil 
rights  activity  is  the  general  a- 
pathy  of  the  public  masses  and 
not  what  is  commonly  thought  - 
that  it  is  the  die-hard  segrega- 
tionists who  make  progress  diffi- 
cult. A  further  sign  of  the  Illu- 
sion of  progress  is  the  fact  that 
the  number  of  Southern  Negroes 
holding  skilled  Jobs  In  industry 
has  fallen  markedly  over  the  past 
ten  years. 


PETER   COUNTRYMAN,  accompanied  by  his  wife,  talks  to   interested  stu- 
dents during  meeting  in  tlie  New  Dorm, 


Peter  Countryman  devoted  most 
of  his  time  to  explaining  the  ac- 
tivities of  the  Northern  Student 
Movement  and  relating  his  per- 
sonal experiences  in  the  "Move- 
ment''. At  the  Monday  evening 
meeting  he  discussed  the  present 
tutoring  and  fund-raising  activi- 
ties of  the  NSM  and  the  prin- 
cipal thoughts  behind  them. 

There  are  some  six  major 
tutorial  projects  under  way  at  the 
present,  with  a  country-wide  ex- 
pansion under  consideration  for 
the  near  future.  The  tutorials  deal 
with  underprivileged  children  in 
slum  sections  of  our  largest  cities 
where  a  large  supply  of  college 
students  is  handy  to  carry  on  the 
work  throughout  the  year. 

Originally    the    tutorials    were 


run  only  during  the  summer,  but 
were  expanded  last  fall  to  meet 
the  demand  for  continued  service. 

The  fund-raising  activities  on 
Northern  campuses  are  directed  at 
supporting  the  Southern  Non-vio- 
lent Coordinating  Committee's 
work  in  Negro  voter  registration 
and  at  providing  working  capital 
for  the  tutorial  projects  and  like 
activities  of  NSM. 

The  evening  meeting  closed  with 
the  singing  of  freedom  songs.  In 
an  almost  mystic  frenzy  among 
the  participants.  The  visit  of 
Countryman  and  Henry  following 
immediately  upon  that  of  renown- 
ed Yale  Chaplain  William  Sloan 
Coffin  left  the  campus  in  the 
grips  of  a  fervor  such  as  is  sel- 
dom seen  In  the  Berkshire  hills. 


The  course  would  be  capped  by 
an  exam  on  the  material  studied 
outside  of  class,  as  a  teaching  de- 
vice and  a  means  of  individual 
evaluation. 

Hei-e  is  the  rationale  behind 
such  a  design.  It  places  the  stu- 
dent in  a  position  where  he  is  en- 
couraged to  work  on  his  own,  and 
ktiows  the  results  will  be  evaluat- 
ed. It  exposes  the  individual  to 
more  intensive  as  well  as  some 
extensive  work.  And  it  promotes 
increased  proficiency  in  the  tech- 
niques of  critical  analysis.  It  also 
places  the  responsibility  for  edu- 
cating himself  directly  on  the  stu- 
dent, not  allowing  him  to  rest  se- 
cure on  the  abilities  of  others. 
Finally  it  promotes  greater  con- 
tact and  personal  interchange  be- 
tween the  student  and  teacher 
(through    the   special   project). 

One  possible  objection  to  the 
course  design  is  the  special  pro- 
ject. A  common  belief  is  that  work 
of  this  sort  demands  great  sophis- 
tication. But  must  it  always?  A 
history  or  political  science  honors 
student  writing  a  thesis  will  con- 
fide he  learned  to  study  indepen- 
dently by  studying  independently. 
One  acquires  ability  by  exerci.se  of 
ability. 

In  the  above  program,  the 
student  can  undertake  a  project  of 
lesser  sophistication,  but  one 
which  will  be  relevant  and  inter- 
esting to  him, 

The  old  problem  of  work  load 
and  routine  shifts  back  into  per- 
spective. When  assignments  out- 
side the  classroom  are  designed  to 
teach  analysis  first,  when  the 
student  becomes  more  deeply  in- 
volved because  he  no  longer  can 
use  the  class  period  as  a  crutch, 
the  necessity  for  long  assign- 
ments of  a  coercive  nature  is  re- 
moved. Work  can  now  be  assign- 
ed of  a  shorter,  but  more  sophis- 
ticated nature — hence  more  inten- 
sive and  less  extensive  in  scope. 
The  system  of  massive  assign- 
ments now  so  often  too  lengthy  to 
be  thoroughly  analyzed  outside  of 
class  (and  thereby  contributing  to 
the  necessity  for  in-class  tutoring 
by  the  instructor!  would  no  long- 
er be  necessary. 

It  might  also  be  useful  in 
this  proposed  experimental  course 
to  re-evaluate  the  place  of  grades. 

Grades  generally  have  two  func- 
tions: to  tell  the  student  how  well 


the  favorite  ammunition  in  a  riot 
-  from  the  tables  when  they  sens- 
ed the  unrest  among  the  fresh- 
men. Unfortunately,  this  left  only

DKE  Moves  To 
Support  College 

The  Board  of  Trustees  of  the 
Epsilon  Chapter  of  Delta  Kappa 
Epsilon,  meeting  in  WiUiamstown 
last  Friday  (May  3)  voted  unan- 
imously to  recommend  to  the 
membership  at  the  annual  meet- 
ing on  June  15  that  the  new 
chapter  house  be  leased  to  Wil- 
liams College  for  a  term  of 
approximately  three  years  so  that 
it  can  be  used  in  planning  for 
the  new  residential  system  pro- 
posed for  the  campus. 

The  Board  also  authorized  a 
special  committee  to  open  negoti- 
ations on  the  possible  terms  of 
such  a  lease  at  once  in  the  hope 
that  they  could  be  established  by 
the  time  of  the  annual  meeting. 
Steve  Chaberski,  president  of  the 
house,  made  the  recommendation 
and  the  members  agreed  unani- 
mously; "we  realize  the  inevitabil- 
ity of  the  decision  of  the  college."

Gargoyle  Elects 
Dave  Appelbaum 

The  Gargoyle  Society  for  1963- 
64,  meeting  Wednesday  night  af- 
ter the  tapping  ceremony,  elected 
David  M.  Appelbaum  president. 
Jonathan  P.  Weiss  was  chosen 
vice-president:  John  T.  Leingang, 
treasurer;  and  Steven  V.  Doughty, 
secretary. 

Appelbaum  was  recently  elected 
president  of  Berkshire  House  for 
the  first  semester  next  year.  He 
is  a  junior  member  of  Phi  Beta 
Kappa  and  an  honors  major  in 
philosophy. 

In  its  first  official  action,  the 
new  Gargoyle  delegation  unani- 
mously endorsed  the  statement 
released  Wednesday  by  the  soci- 
ety's outgoing  membership  in  sup- 
port of  the  mission  of  Chaplain 
John  D.  Eusden  and  J.  H  K. 
Davis  '65  to  Birmingham.

he  Is  doing  opposed  to  other  peo- 
ple and  to  act  as  incentive  lor  in- 
creased effort.  Tlie  problem  with 
the  first  function  is  it  offers  an 
easy  solution  to  the  problem  of 
student  self-evaluation.  An  exam- 
ination is  a  useful  device  both  to 
teach  and  to  test  a  level  of  soph- 
istication. But  it  does  not  have  to 
be  graded.  An  'A'  on  a  paper  often 
allows  a  student  who  Icnows  his 
inadequacies  to  relax  and  rest  se- 
cure. Similarly  the  hard-working 
student  who  gets  a  'C  can  be- 
come frustrated,  and  lose  his  ed- 
ucationally vital  self-respect.  Ra- 
ther, as  is  now  done  by  certain 
individual  professors,  more  emph- 
asis could  be  placed  in  personal 
evaluation  aimed  at  pointing  put 
to  a  student  his  inadequacies  and 
what  he  should  do  to  meet  them. 

The  other  aspect  of  grades  is 
their  incentive  value.  The  prob- 
lem here  is  they  have  become  ends 
in  themselves.  Learning  to  fill 
one's  Icnowledge  gaps  often  be- 
come subordinated  to  passing  an 
exam.  Since  parents,  graduate 
schools,  rewards  i  Dean's  List, 
honors)  all  exert  pressure  on  the 
student  to  "get  good  grades,"  no 
wonder  they  loom  so  large. 

Grades  often  place  a  barrier  be- 
tween faculty  and  the  student. 
Rare  is  the  individual  who  feels 
free  to  take  a  different  tack,  ex- 
periment on  a  paper,  try  some 
new  approach  when  he  knows  he 
has  the  grade  to  worry  about.  So 
often  it  is  safer  to  use  the  same, 
but  safe,   angle   of    attack. 

These  are  all  stock  criticisms  of 
grading.  Yet  they  have  some  val- 
idity. The  advantage  of  grades  lies 
in  providing  a  permanent  record 
of  a  student's  cuinulative  perfor- 
mance both  for  him  and  those 
interested  in  him.  And  at  the  end 
of  the  term,  most  students  really 
want  to  know  haw  well  they  did. 

How,  then  cm  the  system  be  re- 
formed? Is  it  a  necessary  evil? 
Perhaps,  but  maybe  it  can  be  re- 
formed to  a  degree  without  negat- 
ing its  values. 

Here  are  two  proposals.  Have 
a  course  offered  where  all  that 
would  be  required  of  the  student 
would  be  a  "pass"  mark.  In  this 
context,  he  might  take  the  course 
without  the  fear  of  losing  his 
standing  (honors,  dean's  list)  if 
he  experimented  with  new  ways 
of  approach. 

A  second  concept,  which  would 
retain  grading  but  move  it  into 
the  background,  would  be  to  have 
a  course  in  which  no  grades  are 
shown  the  student — only  the  in- 
structor's comments  on  papers  and 
exams.  At  the  end  of  the  semester, 
the  Instructor  could  decide  the 
final  mark — hopefully  basing  it 
not  on  a  mere  average  of  the 
term's  grades,  but  on  an  evalua- 
tion of  the  final  overall  level  of 
proficiency  and  achievement  the 
student  has  reached. 

This  second  proposal  would   a-

void  the  complacency  or  frostra- 
tion  induced  by  grades  during  the 
semester.  In  addition,  it  also  en- 
courages more  faculty-student 
contact  through  increased  evalua- 
tion. Finally,  the  student  attains 
some  definite  idea  of  how  well 
he  has  done  at  the  end  of  his 
labors. 

(Those  interested  in  a  more  in- 
tensive study  of  college  grading 
should  see  "College  Grading  Re- 
difined"  in  the  March  issue  of 
MODERATOR.) 

This  system  of  course  design, 
which  in  the  particular  form  illius- 
trated  is  more  applicable  to  the 
Division  U  coui-ses,  is  really  a 
special  case  of  a  larger  concept: 
the  expansion  of  opportunities  and 
techniques  of  learning  now  re- 
served for  honors  people  to  non- 
honors  people  as  well,  i.e.  less  de- 
pendence on  classes  and  more  on 
outside  work. 

Such  a  concept  would  have  the 
added  advantage  of  inducing  a 
will  to  learn  in  the  large  mass  of 
freshmen  who  come  academically 
prepared,  but  for  reasons  of  back- 
ground or  otherwise,  do  not  have 
the  motivation  to  di-ive  for  learn- 
ing. 

How  lasting  and  how  significant 
an  education  is  to  a  student  de- 
pends on  how  willing  he  is  to  work 
for  it. 

The  above  proposals  are  design- 
ed at  inducing  such  volimtary  will 
to  work  from  within  the  student 
rather  than  by  imposing  it  on  him 
from  without. 

The  program  instead  tries  to 
awaken  a  student's  will  to  learn 
by  playing  on  his  intellectual  cur- 
iosity. It  involves  making  work  of 
personal  significance  to  a  student 
by  raising  questions  which  he  can 
not  answer  or  hope  to  answer  with 
his  limited  scope  of  knowledge. 

In  many  ways  the  learning  pro' 
cess  as  it  is  proposed  here  is  simi- 
lar to  that  used  in  the  senior 
honors  thesis  in  the  humanities. 
Depth  analysis  in  turn  brings  an 
expansion  in  scope. 

Most  important  of  all,  the  new 
program  helps  to  increase  trust 
between  the  faculty  and  the 
student.  By  giving  the  student 
some  measure  of  responsibility  for 
his  own  education,  and  not  leav- 
ing him  any  easy  options,  the 
student  comes  to  develop  a  little 
individual  self-respect.  It  is  then 
the  non-motivated  student  can 
find  an  internal  incentive  to  learn. 
This  is  the  reason  for  re-eval- 
uation of  grading — because  it  re- 
moves a  barrier  between  the  fac- 
ulty and  student — and  replaces  it 
with  a  stronger  tie  of  close  eval- 
uation. 

To  continue  the  idea,  it  might 
be  useful  to  abolish  the  most  ob- 
vious manifestation  of  distrust  be- 
tween faculty  and  students:  the 
attendance  requirement. 

The  benefits  of  the  program  for 
the    non-motivated    student   rests 


on  the  belief  that  only  by  allowing 
him  to  realize  that  lie  does  not 
have  to  set  up  defense  screens 
against  external  complusion,  that 
he  is  expected  to  act  maturely, 
win  the  non-motivated  individual 
begin  to  arouse  himself  to  volun- 
tary  action. 

By '  avoiding  the  compulsion  to 
fulfill  high  rigid  requirements  de- 
signed at  forcing  the  non-motiva- 
ted into  action  (the  motivated 
don't  need  this  compulsion),  the 
above  proposals  try  to  avoid  in- 
ducing a  defensive  reaction  in  the 
non-motivated  student. 

These  reactions  are  dangerous 
because  they  so  often  reinforce 
any  intellectual  antagonism  the 
student  possesses,  just  when  he 
should  be  overcoming  it.  Know- 
ledge can  be  force-fed — but  often 
at  the  cost  of  long  run  intel- 
lectual curiosity.  Finally,  the 
system  avoids  compulsion's  in- 
efficiency. An  obvious  example  is 
the  dubious  success  of  the  political 
science  current  events  examina- 
tions to  inspire  in  students  "the 
newspaper   habit." 

The  concept  of  will  to  learn  in- 
duced through  personal  reference 
can  be  applied  in  two  other  fields: 
the  honors  seminar  and  the  divis- 
ional requirement. 

Many  will  question  whether  an 
arbitrary  sheep-from-the-g  oats 
honors  separation  might  be  un- 
necessary in  the  future.  As  pre- 
sently constituted  it  often  induc- 
es the  same  complacency  (for 
those  in  it)  and  feeling  of  rejec- 
tion (in  those  out  of  it)  that 
grades  tend  to  induce.  In  recog- 
nition of  this  fact,  -  most  de- 
partments already  refuse  to  sep- 
arate honors  and  non-honors  peo- 
ple in  the  major  sequence. 

But  as  to  the  seminar,  it  might 
be  profitable  in  more  courses  to 
try  what  was  tried  in  History 
H351  this  year:  student  teaching 
Here,  material  was  assigned,  and 
each  student  was  told  he  would 
be  required  to  organize  and  lead 
the  discussion  the  next  week.  The 
leader  was  chosen  at  the  begin- 
ning of  the  period,  and  changed 
hands  from  time  to  time.  The 
professor  was  used  for  guidance 
and  information,  but  did  not  lead 
discussion:  the  result:  each  mem- 
ber had  a  much  more  thorough 
grasp  of  the  subject  matter  be- 
cause he  had  to  make  it  intel- 
ligble  not  only  to  himself  but  oth- 
ers, each  week.  And  he  retained 
the  content  because  it  had  a  per- 
sonal significance  for  him. 
.  What  about  division  III?  A 
problem  has  always  existed  here 
about  division  I  and  II  people 
complaining  of  taking  science 
courses.  The  requirement  should 
not  be  abandoned — only  made 
more  rational.  Set  up  a  course  in 
the  scientific  method.  (For  non- 
scientific  majors).  This  does  not 
mean  a  history  of  science  course 


science,  but  a  course  in  praoti 
science  as  a  means  of  understai 
ing  scientific  thinking. 

Such   would  involve  concent 
tion    in   reseai-ch    projects  of  i, 
experimental  nature  designed  gi 
executed  by  the  student  witli  m 
from  an  Instructor.  Since  tlie  », 
missions  department  requires  j 
ence     preparation     for     entrai 
here,    each    student    would    hi 
some     background    in    the    fi. 
Such  a  project  would  be  so  desli 
ed    that    additional    backgroi 
would  be  required.  To  do  his  w. 
well  a  student  would  have  to  r( 
materials  with  which  he  was  i, 
previously    acquainted.    And   tli 
knowledge  he  gained  there  wo..|i 
be  better  retained  because  it  is  i, 
per.sonal   Interest    to   him. 

And  at  the  end  of  a  term,  i|.i 
final  exam  could  be  given  as 
experimental    problem   for   wh 
the  student  would  have  to  des;,i 
a  method  of  solution, 

Not  only  might  the  above  cou 
be   more   interesting    for    non-s 
ence  people  than  the  present  s 
ence    courses,    but    it   could   a 
screen  all  the  uninterested  mli.t. 
out  of   the  regular  courses,  a  i  <'. 
leave   them   to  run   at  full  sp<.<.; 
with  the  men   who  really  are   i. 
terested  in  science. 

Finally  here  are  several  sped 
proposals: 

(1)  Set  up  a  section  in  seve;>: 
division  I  and  II  courses  tauj'i 
by  the  proposed  method.  Have 
similar     section     under     the    ( 
scheme  as  a  control.  Allow  stude 
choice.  Have  both  taught  by  t  . 
same  instructor,  if  possible.  Oii 
each  section  the  same  exam  a-i:- 
compare  results. 

(2)  Set   up   a    section   of  f 
Division  ni    course   and   see  h( 
it  works. 

(3)  Try  more  student-teac 
ing  seminars  in  the  higher  cours 
and  watch  the  results. 

All  the  above  designs  are  ail 
trary.  They  are  merely  sped) 
instances  of  a  general  idea:  pla 
ing  greater  responsibility  on  1 1 
student  and  giving  him  great 
encouragement  and  opportunity 
use  that  responsibility.  In  tl, 
process,  more  non-motivated  stu 
dents  may  develop  a  will  to  learr

Campus  Waits  For  The  Call  From  Birmingham 


Students  May  Demonstrate 

by  Bill  Borri/ 

The  continued  demonstrations  in  BirminKliain 
left  the  college  in  a  state  of  anxiety  last  nij^ht 
as  students  waited  for  the  call  from  Rev.  Wil- 
liam S.  Coffin,  who  could  precipitate  a  mass 
movement  of  students  in  the  Eastern  collej^cs 
toward  the  Alabama  city,  which  has  seen  more 
than  a  month  of  concerted  demoiistratinj;. 

Late  last  nij^ht,  the  Rev.  Martin  Luther  Kinjf, 
leader  of  the  non-violent  demonstrators,  an- 
nounced that  a  bi-racial  committee  had  been  set 
up  to  study  the  problem,  but  city  officials  of 
Birmiiiffham  denied  that  any  such  compromise 
had  been  made.  The  tenuous  state  of  negotia- 
tions made  it  impossible  to  predict  whether  a 
call  would  j^o  out  for  more  demonstrators  from 
northern  collej^es. 

Several  members  of  the  Williams  Civil  Rij^hts 
Committee  are  in  constant  contact  with  Chaplain 
John  D.  Eu.sden,  who  departed  for  Birminf;;ham 
on  Wednesday  evening  in  response  to  an  urgent 
telegram  from  Coffin.  Eusden  was  accompanied 
by  Jay  H.  K.  Davis  n,  '65,  head  of  the  civil 
rights  committee.  The  chaplain's  wife  said  that 
her  husband  told  her  yesterday  that  if  negotia- 
tions were  proceeding  satisfactorily,  he  would 
return  with  Davis  to  Williamstown. 

Without  waiting  for  the  "second  call  from 
Coffin,"  however,  four  students  left  Williams- 
town  on  Wednesday  night  to  join  the  demon- 
strators. This  group,  which  Includ- 
ed John  Kifner  '63,  Jim  Pilgrim 
'63,  Roger  Warren  '63,  and  IX)Ug 
Rose  '65,  planned  to  drive  to  the 
Alabama  border,  at  which  point 
thoy  would  leave  their  automobile 
in  favor  of  public  transportation, 
a  move  considered  to  be  ex- 
p)editlous  In  view  of  the  possible 
damages  to  any  automobile  with 
northern  license  plates.

ner   yesterday,    by    long-distance

Editorial 


On  The  Road  To  Birmingham 

THE  RECORD  generally  sujjports  student  action  and  has  al- 
ways been  a  strong  supporter  of  Civil  Rights,  so  it  virtually  goes 
without  saying  that  we  agree  completely  with  Chaplain  Eusden's 
departure  ana  hope  that  as  many  students  as  possible  will  go  to 
Birmingham  if  they  are  needed. 

It  is  difficult  to  say  anything  now,  either  concerning  the  race 
problem  in  the  south  or  the  demonstrations  in  Birmingham,  which 
has  not  already  been  said.  One  purpose  of  the  Birmingham  dem- 
onstrations was  to  attract  attention  to  the  continuing  action  of 
non-violent  groups  and,  even  if  the  demonstrations  wreak  no 
changes  in  Alabama,  which  seems  conceivable  at  this  point,  the 
action  has  achieved  at  least  partial  success.  Even  President  Ken- 
nedy, who  seems  to  have  forgotten  about  one  of  his  campaign 
promises,  found  a  moment  to  pontificate  a  few  well-chosen  phrases, 
indicating  "a  deep  interest  and  concern,"  a  statement  which  we 
felt  was  perfunctory  and  quite  typical  of  Kennedy's  indecisiveness 
on  matters  of  civil  rights. 

The  effort  is  a  noble  one,  lacking  in  the  piety  which  usually 
accompanies  a  crusade,  and  should  be  supported  by  every  student. 


mM   Visit  Sparks   WCRC  Drive 

By  Torrey  Orton 

Instrumental  in  the  creation  of 
the  present  campus  civil  rights 
fervor  was  the  visit  of  Northern 
Student  Movement  head  Peter 
Countryman  to  Williams  last 
Monday. 

Countryman  and  field  worker 
Cliff  Henry  spoke  to  Williams  stu- 
dents at  a  Student  Union  lunch- 
eon and  at  an  evening  meeting  In 
the  lounge  of  the  New  Dorm.  Both 
gatherings  were  sponsored  by  the 
Williams  Civil  Rights  Committee 
presently  under  the  leadership  of 
John  H.  K.  Davis  II,  '65,  and 
Steven  Block,  '65.  The  visit  of  the 
NSM  leaders  was  to  be  the  kick- 
off  for  the  Civil  Rights  fund 
drive  on  the  campus. 

Cliff  Henry  spoke  on  the  illu- 
sions of  progress  in  civil  rights 
which  are  so  much  publicized  and 

so  little  true^  Rather,  the  case^js   ^^^^^  COUNTRYMAN,  accompanied  by  his  wife,  talks  to  interested  stu- 

*""'      dents  during  meeting  in  the  New  Dorm. 

Peter  Countryman  devoted  most  run  only  during  the  summer,  but 
of  his  time  to  explaining  the  ac- 
tivities of  the  Northern  Student 
Movement  and  relating  his  per- 
sonal experiences  in  the  "Move- 
ment". At  the  Monday  evening 
meeting  he  discussed  the  present 
tutoring  and  fund-raising  activi- 
ties of  the  NSM  and  the  prin- 
cipal thoughts  behind  them. 

There  are  some  six  major 
tutorial  projects  under  way  at  the 
present,  with  a  country-wide  ex- 
pansion under  consideration  for 
the  near  future.  The  tutorials  deal 
with  underprivileged  children  in 
slum  sections  of  our  largest  cities 
where  a  large  supply  of  college 
students  is  handy  to  carry  on  the 
work  throughout  the  year. 

Originally    the    tutorials    were 


that  the  position  of  the  Ameri 
can  Negro  has  gotten  progressive- 
ly worse  over  the  past  ten  years  - 
particularly  since  the  Supreme 
Court  decisim  of  1954. 

The  chanse  for  the  worse  is 
particularly  noteworthy  in  North- 
ern cities,  where  previously  heter- 
ogcr..->ous  neighborhoods  are  as- 
suming the  character  of  indepen- 
dent white  and  Negro  ghettos. 

A  major  problem  for  any  civil 
rights  activity  is  the  general  a- 
pathy  of  the  public  masses  and 
not  what  is  commonly  thought  - 
that  it  is  the  die-hard  segrega- 
tionists who  make  progress  diffi- 
cult. A  further  sign  of  the  illu- 
sion of  progress  is  the  fact  that 
the  number  of  Southern  Negroes 
holding  skilled  jobs  in  Industry 
has  fallen  markedly  over  the  past 
ten  years. 


were  expanded  last  fall  to  meet 
the  demand  for  continued  service. 

The  fund-raising  activities  on 
Northern  campuses  are  directed  at 
supporting  the  Southern  Non-vio- 
lent Coordinating  Committee's 
work  in  Negro  voter  registration 
and  at  providing  working  capital 
for  the  tutorial  projects  and  like 
activities  of  NSM. 

The  evening  meeting  closed  with 
the  singing  of  freedom  songs,  in 
an  almost  mystic  frenzy  among

Parents  Jo  Group  Here 
For  Annual  Spring  fun 


The  Ninth  Annual  Parent's

First  Frosh  Riot 
Costs  Class  $750 

After  almost  a  full  year  of  or- 
der and  obedience,  the  freshmen 
finally  had  a  riot  in  the  fresh- 
man dining  room.  The  action  left 
the  dining  room  in  a  shambles, 
and  will  cost  the  class  at  least 
$400  in  damages. 

The  riot  was  apparently  provok- 
ed by  several  non-affiliates,  who 
threw  rolls  and  various  other  ob- 
jects into  the  freshman  dining 
room.  At  this,  one  freshman  threw 
a  pitcher  of  milk,  another  flipped 
over  a  table,  and  the  brawl  was 
on. 

"I  wouldn't  say  that  we  really 
started  it,"  one  non-affiliate  said 
modestly  this  morning.  "I  just 
threw  a  couple  of  things  into  the 
other  dining  room  to  see  what 
would  happen  and,  baby,  it  hap- 
pened. " 

The  dining  room  staff  had  wise- 
ly removed  rolls  and  potatoes  - 
the  favorite  ammunition  in  a  riot 
-  from  the  tables  when  they  sens- 
ed the  unrest  among  the  fresh- 
men. Unfortunately,  this  left  only 
the   glassware  and   the    furniture

DKE  Moves  To 
Support  College 

The  Board  of  Trustees  of  the 
Epsllon  Chapter  of  Delta  Kappa 
Epsilon,  meeting  In  Williamstown 
last  FViday  iMay  3)  voted  unan- 
imously to  recommend  to  the 
membership  at  the  annual  meet- 
ing on  June  15  that  the  new 
chapter  house  be  leased  to  Wil- 
liams College  for  a  term  of 
approximately  three  years  so  that 
it  can  be  used  in  planning  for 
the  new  residential  system  pro- 
posed tor  the  campus. 

The  Board  also  authorized  a 
special  committee  to  open  negoti- 
ations on  the  possible  terms  of 
such  a  lease  at  once  in  the  hope 
that  they  could  be  established  by 
the  time  of  the  annual  meeting. 
Steve  Chaberski,  president  of  the 
house,  made  the  recommendation 
and  the  members  agreed  unani- 
mously; "we  realize  the  inevitabll 
ity  of  the  decl.slon  of  the  college.' 


of  noon  Tuesday  212  families,  rep- 
resenting 522  persons,  had  replied 
in  the  affirmative  to  invitations, 
and  that  approximately  600  could 
be  expected  as  a  total. 

"Richard  HI'',  which  will  be 
staged  both  nights  by  Cap  and 
Bells  at  the  AMT,  has  already 
been  sold  out,  and  families  are  re- 
ceiving refunds. 

The  first  arrivals  will  register 
at  Baxter  Hall  on  Friday  morning 
and  will  have  the  opportunity  to 
visit  regular  Friday  classes  and 
labs.  In  the  afternoon  the  varsity 
tennis  team  will  oppose  powerful 
Princeton,  and  the  lacrosse  team 
faces  Amherst. 

Capping  the  day's  activities  will 
be  the  performance  of  "Richard 
III"  and  a  concert  at  Chapin  Hall 
featuring  the  Berkshire  Commun- 
ity Symphony  Orchestra  and  op- 
eratic soprano  Shirley  Verrett- 
Carter. 

The  principal  program  will  be 
held  at  noon  In  Chapin  Hall.  The 
annual  address  will  be  given  by 
Dr.  Ralph  Winch,  Barclay  Jer- 
main  Professor  of  Natural  Phil- 
osophy. Prof.  Winch's  address  is 
entitled  "Science  Education  in  a 
Liberal  Arts  College"  and  will  deal 
with  the  need  for  a  distribution  of 
science  among  humanities  majors. 

Dinner  will  be  served  at  the  var- 
ious fraternity  houses  and  at  Bax- 
ter Hall,  and  all  fraternities  and 
dormitories  will  be  open  to  par- 
ents between  nine  and  twelve  p. 
m.  "Richard  III"  will  be  staged 
again  in  the  evening.  The  final 
special  event  of  the  weekend  will 
be  a  chapel  service  at  11:00  Sun-

Review 

'King  Richard  HI'  At  AMT 

luclt^ing  from  last  nij^ht's  |5CMft)iinanc(',  many  people  would  be 
very  liappy  to  see  Shakespeare  made  a  yearly  tradition  at  the 
Adams  Memorial  Theatre.  Tliis  is  not  to  say  that  the  current  |ier- 
formance  of  Richard  HI  is  a  landmark  of  power,  originality  or 
finesse,  but  John  \on  Szeliski  and  the  members  of  the  cast  chose 
to  interpret  the  p\,\v  on  its  grandest  scale,  and  we  are  grateful 
for  the  challenge,  since  it  i^rodiiced  a  rewarding  and  exciting 
night  in  tiie  tlieatre. 

In  attacking  the  immortal  hard,  Mr.  von  S/eliski  obviously 
conceived  of  the  play  as  historical  melodrama,  rather  than  pay- 
chological  investigation.  In  adapting  the  play  to  modern  iierform- 
ing  length  he  thus  preserved  most  of  its  political  intrigue  while 
eliminating  tlie  comedy  and  drastically  reducing  the  female  roles. 
The  result  is  a  streamlined  version  of  Richard,  which  moves  swift- 
ly to  the  final  clash  of  two  superhuman  powers. 

All  this  would  have  worked  very  well  indeed  had  it  not  been 
f(i)-  \V()(k1  !,<iekhart.  As  Richard  III,  he  is  found  in  his  final  and 
most  difficult  role,  and  the  |X'rfomiance  is  both  memorable  and 
brilliant.  Not  content  to  ))lay  Richard  as  simply  the  archetype 
of  all  soapho.x  villians,  he  has  accepted  the  role  with  all  the  vari- 
eties that  .Shakespeaif  intended.  .'\t  once  rasping  and  conniving. 
he  is  siniultani'onsly  the  liajipv  luuicliback  and  the  worst  man  who 
ever  was.  It  is  a  virtuoso  performance,  but  curiously  contradicts 
tlie  director's  intentions,  since  whenever  he  is  on  stage  he  draws 
the  audience  away  from  the  action  toward  his  personality.  His 
brilliance  is  constantiv  threatening  the  flow  of  events,  yet  not 
entirelv  |)iercing  them,  and  thus  a  tension  is  established  which 
prevent.s  the  ])roduction  from  being  a  complete  unit.  When  he 
i.s  on  stage  the  movement  stops,  but  not  totally,  since  the  play 
must  and  does  go  on. 

The  supporting  cast  is  marked  bv  \;nving  degrees  of  com- 
petence. Louise  Ober  as  Queen  Anne  has  successfully  transferred 
her  flair  for  melodrama  from  the  snack  bar  to  the  stage,  and  her 
acceptance  of  Richard's  ring  at  the  end  of  scene  three  is  one  of 
the  evening's  highlights.  Jan  Berlage  is  much  too  hardy  for  the 
dying  King  Edward,  yet  his  interpretation  brings  freshness  to  a 
traditional  role.  Richard  Berger  as  Clarence  is  pediaiis  a  little  too 
boyish,  largely  because  of  jihysical  ap|iearance,  hut  his  rendering 
of  the  lyrical  dream  se(|uence  is  handk^d  well  in  that  it  ne\er  be- 
comes simph'  ]X)etr)'.  Jon  Sundstrom's  Buckingham  is  a  handsome 
contrast  to  the  eripjiled  Richard,  although  one  is  sometimes  too 
conscious  that  he  is  reading,  rather  than  S]ieaking.  his  lines. 

Phil  McKnight  anil  Anne  Anderson  are  well  east  as  die  un- 
fortimate  Hastings  and  Queen  Elizabeth.  But  Belle  Boch  as  old 
Queen  Margaret  is  not  nearlv  as  fierce  and  powerful  as  she  might 
have  been.  No  doubt  this  is  partially  due  to  the  severe  cutting 
of  her  role,  but  her  curse,  which  supjilies  du-  honv  imderstruc- 
tin-e  of  the  ])lav,  drifts  by  almost  unnoticed. 

The  production  itself  is  occasionally  slo|ipy.  hut  this  must 
be  expected  in  a  jilay  of  such  scale.  The  ghosts,  for  instance,  tend 
to  sound  more  like  minions  from  tiie  laryngitis  ward  than  spirits 
from  the  world  beyond.  And  why  Richard  lannche.s  into  "Would 
you  enforce  ine  to  a  world  of  car<'s"  before  an  empty  stage  is  be- 
yond mv  telling. 

But  these  are  minor  points  which  are  easily  ontmunhered  by 
the  many  exciting  moments  in  the  play.  It  is  to  Mr.  von  Szeliski's 
great  credit  that  he  has  been  able  to  preserve  a  youthful  and  spir- 
ited vigor  throughout.  This  is  especially  noticeable  in  the  batde 
scene,  with  its  great  clash  of  wooden  swords  in  the  night.  On  an 
objective  level  this  meeting  of  titans  reminds  one  of  a  .skirmish  in 
the  freshman  quad.  But  its  immediacy  is  so  well  conveyed  that 
no  one  notices  that  Richard  has  lost  a  horse. 

The  invigorating  spirit  of  the  production  can  he  seen  in  sev- 
eral of  the  smaller  characters  too.  Clark  Ilohhie  as  Catesby  bids 
a  dramatic  farewell  to  the  stage  in  a  series  of  glorious  and  flam- 
boyant gestures.  Tom  Roe  and  Bob  Rich,  as  vicious  with  swords 
as  with  hockey  sticks,  thimder  across  the  battlefield  leaving  thou- 
■sands  dying  in  their  wake.  And  finally  Jon  Spelman.  pious  and 
.stany-eyed,  somids  a  resonant  amen  to  the  fiftecTith  century  and 
its  baril.  who  no  doubt  would  have  smiled  contentedly,  though 
with  a  faint  twitch  of  ironv.  had  he  witnes.sed  last  niglit's  per- 
forinance  in  Williamstown.

Student  Exodus  May  Be  Called  Off  If  Negotiations  Are  Successful  Cyclists  To  Race 


Continued   from  Page   1,  Col.   1 

Before  this  group  departed,  they 
made  a  lightning  strike  for  funds 
at  Bennington  College  and  amas- 
sed more  than  $100  to  finance 
their  Journey  from  the  sympath- 
etic girls.  One  girl  at  Bennington 
reported  yesterday  that  a  number 
of  students  there  were  planning 
to  travel  to  Birmingham,  again 
If  the  "second  call"  came  through 
from  William  Coffin. 

An  estimated  70  students  at 
Williams  are  prepared  to  leave  on 
a  moment's  notice  for  Birming- 
ham, and  more  students  and  fac- 
ulty members  will  probably  go  If 
they  are  needed,  according  to  one 
member  of  the  Civil  Rights  Com- 
mittee. In  contra.st,  one  fraternity 
Is  reportedly  drafting  a  statement 
of  approval  to  "Bull"  Connor,  in 
which  they  praise  the  sheriff  of 
Birmingham  for  maintaining  "law 
and  order"  in  the  face  of  the  dem- 
onstrations. There  was,  of  course, 
one  group  of  students  who  plan 
to  leave  on  Sunday  for  the  south 
"to  look  for  a  good  rumble.'' 

Dean  Robert  R.  R.  Brooks  said 
that  the  administration  is  leaving 
any  action  up  to  the  students, 
with  the  understanding  that  any 
academic  burden  will  fall  on  the 
students.  Brooks  stated  that  cuts 
accumulated  b  y  demonstrators 
would  be  dismissed,  but  said  that 
he  felt  he  could  not  ask  any  tea- 


cher to  give  a  make-up  examlna 
tion    to    any    student    who  mis- 
ses the  regularly  scheduled  exam- 
ination.  Examinations  will    begin 
on  May  23,  or  12  days  hence. 

In  a  prepared  statement  issued 
yesterday.  President  Sawyer  said: 
"The  developments  at  Birming- 
ham have  troubled  and  shocked  us 
all."  The  Reverend  Eusden  has 
acted  out  of  a  concern  that  vio- 
lence would  spread,  and  a  deep 
Christian  conviction  that  he 
should  go  out  and  help  on  a  fun- 
damental issue  of  human   rights. 

"We  respect  his  decision  and 
tile  reasons  for  which  he  made 
it." 

The  Gargoyle  Society  read  a 
statement  of  encouragement  for 
Davis  and  Eusden  at  the  tapping 
ceremony  on  Wednesday  after- 
noon. Many  of  the  members  of 
the  society  wore  a  strip  of  white 
on  the  sleeve  of  their  robes  dur- 
ing tapping  to  indicate  .sympathy 
for  the  demonstrators  and  en- 
couraged other  students  to  do  like- 
wise. Countless  white  arm  bands 
were  in  evidence  yesterday  morn- 
ing as  students  indicated  sympa- 
thy for  the  action. 

In  a  call  early  Thursday  morn- 
ing to  his  wife,  Chaplain  Eusden 
reported  that  the  definite  possi- 
bility of  a  .settlement  made  it 
seem  likely  that  he  would  return 
to  Williamstown  within  the  next 


1.  My  theory  on  looking  for  a  job 
is— Play  it  big!  Shoot  for 
Uie  top !  Go  straight  to  the 
prez  for  your  interview. 

I  don't  know  any  presidents. 


8.  Use  your  head,  man.  Have  your 
dad  set  up  appointments  with 
some  of  the  big  shots  he  knows. 

He's  a  veterinarian . 


8.  Beautiful !  All  you  have  to  do 
is  find  a  president  who  likes 
dogs.  You'll  have  him  eating 
out  of  your  hand  in  no  time. 

I  don't  know  an  Elkhound 
from  an  Elk. 


4.  Frankly,  I  don't  know  what  else  to 
tell  you.  You've  got  a  problem. 

It's  not  as  bad  as  it  seems. 
My  idea  is  to  find  out  the  name 
of  the  employment  manager 
at  the  company  I'm  interested 
in.  Write  him  a  letter  telling  him 
my  qualifications.  Spell  out  my 
interests,  marks.  Simple  as  that. 


6.  Say,  could  you  set  something  up 
for  me  at  Equitable? 

I'm  not  the  president, 
but  I'll  try. 


5.  A  letter  to  the  employment  Tnartagerl 
Ho  ho  hoi  You've  a  lot  to  learn. 

Then  how  come  I  landed  a 
great  job  at  Equitable— 
an  executive  training  spot

a  good  salary  and  has  a  lot

few  days.  The  Increase  in  tension 
after  the  arrest  of  Martin  Luther 
King,  however,  put  the  issue  In 
doubt. 

Eusden,  who  flew  to  Birming- 
ham after  receiving  the  telegram 
from  Coffin  on  Wednesday  even- 
ing, said  that  he  and  Coffin  had 
conducted  two  services  at  a  Negro 
church  in  Birmingham.  The  ser- 
vices were  attended  by  hundreds 
of  Negroes  and  Eusden  said  that, 
while  he  was  calling,  Jay  Davis 
was  sitting  on  the  front  lawn  of 
the  church  singing  freedom  songs 
with   Negro   demonsti'ators. 

Coffin  went  directly  to  Birming- 
ham after  he  appeared  at 
Williams  on  Sunday  evening.  The 
former  Williams  chaplain  has 
been  a  leader  of  the  civil  rights 
movement,  and  ri.sked  censure  by 
Yale  when  he  left  without  notice 
to  ride  a  freedom  bus  to  Mont- 
gomery. Alabama,  several  months 
ago. 

Eusden  said  that  he  and  Cof- 
fin had  been  nearly  arrested  when 
they  entered  the  Negro  church, 
but  that  a  consultation  with 
Birmingham  officials  had  a- 
chieved  their  immediate  release. 

Mrs.  Eusden  said  that  her  hus- 
band sounded  "optimistic."  but 
that  he  was  "terribly  up.set"  over 
the  arrest  of  Rev.  Martin  Luth- 
er King,  who  was  arrested  outside 
a  motel  in  Birmingham,  which 
has  served  as  a  headquarters  for 
the  demonstrators,  after  he  con- 
ferred with  Eusden  and  Coffin. 


King  wa.s  arrested  for  "puruding 
on  Good  Friday"  without  a  per- 
mit from  the  city  of  Birmingham 
and  was  .sentenced  to  180  days  in 
jail  and  a  fine  of  $100.  Although 
he  was  relea.sed  on  bail,  the  arrest 
precipitated  a  new  crisis,  for  dem- 
onstrations leaders  felt  that  the 
arrest  had  in  effect  broken  the 
24-hour  truce,  which  had  been  set 
up  to  allow  demonstration  leaders 
and  city  officials  to  confer. 

Mrs.  Eu.sden  said  tliat  her  hus- 
band was  "amazed"  at  the  tight 
control  wliich  leaders  exercised 
over  the  demonstrators  to  keep 
the  action  from  becoming  unruly 
and  violent.

sor of  religion,  said  yesterday  that 
it  did  not  seem  as  if  any  more 
students  would  be  needed,  but 
that  he  was  waiting  for  develop- 
ments. Spivey  is  in  contact  with 
John  McGuire,  of  the  reUgion  de- 
partment at  Wesley  an,  who  is  or- 
ganizing students  in  the  eastern 
colleges  in  case  Coffin  should  call 
for  more  demonstrators. 

"When  the  word  comes,  they 
will  just  go  on  down,"  Spivey  said. 

Students  from  Princeton,  Yale, 
Dartmouth  and  Amherst  have  ex- 
pressed interest,  Spivey  said,  and 
are  being  counted  on  if  Coffin 
feels  they  are  needed.

On  Saturday,  May  U,  at  1:30 
p.  m.,  the  Williams  Motorcycle 
Club  will  present  its  annual 
Parent's  Day  Shocker.  A  scramble, 
promising  spills  and  thrills, 
will  feature  three  races 
on  three  tracks  with  dif- 
ferent surfaces  and  degrees  of  dif- 
ficulty. The  rider  compiling  the 
most  ixjints  in  all  three  events 
will  be  judged  the   winner. 

Among  the  competitors  will  be 
the  college's  favorite,  winner  of 
last  fall's  enduro,  Warren  King 
'63.  Robert  Hicks,  editor  of  Cycle 
Sport  magazine,  and  newcomer, 
Crash  Larry,  are  also  expected  to 
attempt  to  complete  the  difficult 
circuits. 

For  some  unexplained  reason, 
this  outstanding  Parent's  Day  e- 
vent  was  not  included  on  the  list 
of  activities  for  the  weekend. 


Freshmen  Riot . . .

to  be  thrown,  far  more  deadly, 
and  far  more  costly  missiles  than 
rolls  and  potatoes. 

After  the  first  action,  gleeful 
rioters  bombarded  each  other  with 
glasses  and  plates.  One  student 
was  in  the  infirmary  last  night, 
after  having  been  hit  on  the  back 
of  the  head  by  a  flying  plate. 

The  fieshmen  were  not  served 
their  dinner,  of  cour.se. 

Sidney  M.  Chisolm,  director  of 
the  dining  hall,  said  this  morning 
that  the  damages  .so  far  amounted 
to  approximately  $400,  but  that 
the  furniture  damage  had  not  yet 
been  tallied. 

Later  last  night,  the  riot  con- 
tinued, as  the  freshmen  raided  the 
sophomore  quad  for  what  has  be- 
come a  traditional  inter-class  wa- 
ter fight.  The  charge  on  the  up- 
perclassmen  came,  as  do  most 
such  actions,  as  the  result  of  wa- 
ter tights  in  the  fresliman  quad. 
No  damage  was  reported  after  this 
later  action. 

Harlon  P.  Hanson,  deari  of 
freshmen,  said  this  morning  that 
he  was  definitely  considering  dis- 
ciplinary action  against  the  fresh- 
men, but  was  not  sure  at  this 
point  exactly  what  steps  he  would 
take. 

By  noon,  however,  the  damage 
estimate  had  ri.sen  to  $750,  and 
the  freshmen  had  not  been  serv- 
ed their  meals.  Tlie  stoppage  of 
service  was  at  first  attributed  to 
the  fact  that  the  freshman  din- 
ing room  is  still  being  cleaned  up 
and  that  tliere  were  not  enough 
plates  intact.  The  refusal  assum- 
ed punitive  overtones  when  the 
freshmen  were  explicitly  denied 
service  in  tlie  upperclass  line. 

Dean  Hanson  and  Chisolm 
planned  to  meet  with  representa- 
tives from  the  freshman  class  to 
attempt  to  set  up  a  program  of 
reparations   for   the   breakage.

Williams  Lacrosse  Crushes  RPl; 
Annison  Leads  With  Six  Goals 

The  varsity  lacrosse  team  picked  up  its  second  victory  of  tlie 
season  against  four  losses  by  defeating  RPI  Tuesday  afternoon  on 
Cole  Field,  by  the  annihilating  score  of  13-6, 


Soph  superstar  Mike  Annison 
led  the  E:ph  charge  with  six  goals 
and  two  assists,  senior  co-captaln 
Al  Mondell  scored  three  and  Bob- 
by HaUlgan  and  Snuffy  Leach 
both  counted  two  scores  for  the 
Williams  total. 

Ephs  Grab  Early  Lead 

Annison,  Halligan  and  Mondell 
pushed  the  Ephs  off  to  an  early 
3-0  first  period  lead  with  unas- 
sisted goals.  Scores  by  Mondell, 
with  an  assist  by  Leach  and  Leach 
maintained  the  difference  over  the 
Engineers  In  the  second  period. 

The  Troymen  rallied  in  the 
opening  minutes  of  the  third  per- 
iod to  a  5-4  deficit  on  two  goals 
by  their  ace  En.i  within  the  space 
of  46  seconds.  The  Ephs  were 
quick  to  recover  from  the  shock 
however  and  countered  with  four 
goals  in  the  middle  of  the  period 
to  put  the  game  out  of  doubt. 
Annison  scored  two  goals  in  this 
period  to  lead  the  Eph  attack,  and 
Halligan  and  Leach  each  added 
one. 


Mondell  Scores  Hat  Trick 

After  Mondell  scored  his 
third  goal  early  in  the  fourth  per- 
iod, to  complete  his  first  hat  trick 
of  the  year,  Annison  tallied  three 
more  goals  late  in  the  period  to 
close  out  the  scoring. 

The  Racquetmen  will  meet  Am- 
herst Friday  afternoon  on  Cole 
Field  in  an  attempt  to  salvage  a 
stake  in  the  Little  Three  crown.

By  Steve  Robinson 

The  Eph  swingers  lost  a  heart- 
breaking contest  to  UMass  on 
Monday,  then  finally  showed  signs 
of  shedding  their  long  slump  at 
Trinity  the  next  day. 

John  MilhoUand  pitched  a  fine 
game  for  8  and  two-thirds  innings 
at  Weston  Field,  allowing  UMass 
only  four  hits  and  no  earned 
runs  until  the  fateful  ninth. 

Ephs  Consistent 

An  error  in  the  second  by  Ron 
Kidd  on  a  tricky  pop  fly  had  set 
up  the  opposition's  first  score.  The 
Ephs,  working  methodically  at  the 
plate,  left  ten  men  stranded  but 
Bob  Leroy  and  Ben  Wagner  man- 
aged to  knock  across  two  others 
during  the  next  five  frames. 

With  two  strikes  on  the  third 
out  in  the  ninth,  it  appeared  that 
MilhoUand  could  start  his  victor- 
ious trek  to  the  Lasell  Gym.  But 
Mel  Harris  blooped  a  single  into 
left  which  skidded  under  Hyde's 
glove.  Unnerved,  MilhoUand 
served  up  a  double  to  pinch-hitter 
Wojnar,  and  Jim  Schmoyer  ap- 
plied the  fatal  touch  with  a  lin- 
er into  right  center  to  win  the 
game  for  UMass,  3-2. 

No  Pitchers'  Battle 

The  makeup  of  the  Trinity  rain- 
out  was  a  "pitchers'  battle"  (for 
the  shower  room)  -  19  hits  were 
scattered  by  both  teams.  The  Ban- 
tams' fielding  was  another  factor 


in  Williams'  13-8  margin,  since 
seven  Trinity  errors  helped  ac- 
count  for  four   unearned  runs. 

In  the  first  inning,  Williams 
scored  twice  on  four  walks  and  a 
hit  batsman.  Then  a  walk  and  a 
hit  batsman  by  John  Bose  in  the 
bottom  of  the  same  Inning  helped 
Trinity  take  the  lead  with  three 
runs. 

The  Ephs  scrambled  back  in  the 
second  for  three  more.  George 
Mayer's  triple  was  the  big  blow 
here.  Homers  by  pitcher  Pitcairn 
and  Dick  Towle  kept  Trinity  in 
the  game,  but  Williams  obtained 
a  "safe"'  9-4  margin  in  the  fourth 
with  four  markers  on  three  singles 
and  two  errors  in  the  field. 

Further  scoring  was  less  hectic. 
Bob  CiuUa  pitched  six  strong 
frames,  and  the  Ephs  bunched 
three  in  the  eighth  aided  by  two 
throwing  errors. 


UMass.   Bests   Frosh 

By  J.  O.  Jones 

Coach  Frank  Navarro's  fresh- 
man baseball  team  suffered  its 
first  defeat  of  the  season  6-3 
Monday  at  the  hands  of  a  strong 
University  o  f  Massachusetts 
squad. 

Jim  Kile  started  for  William.s 
and  took  the  loss.  He  was  remov- 
ed in  the  seventh  after  a  temper 
flare  up  and  was  replaced  by 
Frank  Foley. 

Kile  went  untouched  for  four 
innings.  Then,  Zambrusi,  the  U- 
Mass  right  fielder,  led  off  in  the 
fifth  with  a  solid  triple.  Mass- 
achusetts went  on  to  get  five  run.s 
In  that  inning  on  five  hits  and 
three  Williams  eirors. 

Bob  Christiansen  and  J 1  m 
Straub  produced  the  only  two  hit.s 
for  the  Ephlets.  In  spite  of  theii- 
poor  showing  at  the  plate,  how- 
ever, the  freshmen  managed  to 
score  three  runs  in  the  opening 
two  frames,  sending  the  first  of 
a  pair  of  opposing  pitchers  to  the 
showers  after  two  and  two  thirds 
innings. 

Williams  faces  Wesleyan  tomor- 
row and  Amherst  Wedne.sday, 
both  on  Cole  Field,  to  round  out 
their  Little  Three  competition. 
The  frosh  have  already  defeated 
each  of  these  teams  once  and  are 
assured  of  at  least  a  tie  for  tlie 
conference  title. 


Ephs  Bow  To  Mighty  Springfield  ; 
Maroons  Capture  Twelve  Firsts 


By  Dick  Dubow 

An  undermanned  Williams  track 
squad  suffered  a  stunning  101-34 
defeat  at  the  hands  of  perennial 
power  Springfield  College.  The 
Maroon  garnered  twelve  first 
place  positions,  and  swept  four  e- 
vents  in  passing  the  century  mark

"Tareyton's  Dual  Filter  in  duas  partes  divisa  est!" 

says  Scipio  (Wahoo)  Maximus,  dynamic  cheer  leader  of  the  Coliseum  Gladiators.  "Hipus,  hipus,  hoorayo!" 
yells  Wahoo,  "and  tres  cheers  for  our  favorite  cigarette,  Dual  Filter  Tlireyton.  Vero,  here's  flavor-rfe  gustibus  you

for  the  first  time  this  season   Tlie 
loss     halted     Williams'     winning 
skein  at  four  meets. 
Deichman  Leads  Ephs 
Boots  Deichman  paced  the  out- 
classed Ephs  with   eleven   points. 
The  swift  sprinter  took  a  fir.st  in 
the  220  yard  low  hurdles,  and  add- 
ed seconds  in  both   the   100   yard 
dash   and    120  yard  high  hurdles. 
The  Purple  showed   their  usual 
strength    in    the    440    yard    run, 
where    Dick    Osborne    set   a    new 
record  on    the   Springfield   track. 
Osborne  crossed   the  tape  in  49.6 
Just  ahead  of  Maroon  co-captain 
George  McCombe. 
Neuse  Picks  Up  First 
Karl  Neuse  picked  up  the  only 
other  first  place  for  the  Ephs.  He 
eclipsed  the  220  in  a  torrid  22.2 
seconds,  while  also  taking  a  third 
in   the  440. 

Springfield  sweeps  Included  the 
880  yard  run,  the  discus,  the  jav- 
elin, and  the  broad  jump.  The 
Maroon  completely  dominated  the 
field  events,  winning  all  seven  e- 
vents.  However,  sophomore  John 
Hohenadel  managed  a  second  in 
the  shot  put,  as  did  Bob  Warner 
in  the  hammer. 

Williams  also  took  thirds  in  the 
pole  vault,  high  jump  and  two 
mile  run.  Rick  Ash  ran  a  spec- 
tacular mile  only  to  finish  a  close 
second  behind  Springfield.

Birmingham  Situation  Stirs  Campus ; 
Eusden  And  Davis  Return  To  Talk, 
While  Four  Stay  In  Southern  City 

by  Tim  Lull 

The  Williams  campus  icmaiiiecl  intensely  interested  in  the 
Birmingham  situation  this  weekend  as  Chaplain  John  D.  Eusden 
and  John  H.  K.  Davis  '65  returned  while  four  other  students  re- 
mained. On  Sunday,  President  Kennedy  ordered  federal  troops 
to  )30sts  near  Birniincliani  and  jirepared  to  nationalize  the  Ala- 
bama National  Guard.  This  action  came  as  a  result  of  rioting  in- 
spired by  white  extremists  on  Saturday,  and  bornbinji;  of  the  Gas- 
ton Motel,  headquarters  of  the  Southern  Christian  Leadership 
Conference,  and  of  the  home  of  Martin  Luther  King's  Ijrother 
just  outside  of  Birmingham. 

John  W.  Kifner  'fi3,  James  1''.  Pilgrim  '63,  Roger  K.  Warren  '63 
and  Douglas  D.  Rose  '6.5  had  started  back  from  Birmingham,  but 
reaching  Atlanta,  they  called  King  to  ask  about  the  turn  for  the 

worse  in   the  city.  At  his   request 


CR  Fund  Drive 
Approaches  Goal 

Early  reports  indicate  that  the 
Williams  Civil  Rights  Committee 
Fund  Drive  and  Tutorial  Recruit- 
ment Week  will  reach  its  goals  of 
$2,500  and  75  tutors.  The  drive  has 
been  extended  into  this  week 
to  accommodate  late  donors. 

The  drive,  kicked  off  by  Yale's 
Rev.  William  S.  Coffin  and  NSM's 
Peter  Countryman,  was  augment- 
ed by  the  journey  of  Chaplain 
Eusden  and  Jay  Davis  to  Birm- 
ingham. The  appearance  of  gen- 
erous and  concerned  parents  also 
swelled  the  total. 

The  Bennington  Civil  Rights 
Committee  is  holding  a  similar

Bennington  Reaction 
To  Alabama  Activity: 
CivilRightsCommittee 

In  response  to  the  recent  in- 
terest In  civil  rights,  a  group  of 
students  at  Bennington  has  or- 
ganized the  Bermlngton  College 
Civil  Rights  Committee.  The 
group  was  formed  as  the  result  of 
what  was  termed  "much  good, 
positive   feeling"  on  the   campus. 

The  committee  was  unofficially 
started  on  Saturday  -  although 
there  has  been  a  good  deal  of  "un- 
official" Interest  -  by  Kathy  Sle- 
gal  '66,  and  as  yet  has  not  drawn 
up  a  constitution.  A  statement  of 
purpose  was  Issued  and  a  fund 
drive  has  been  Initiated  to  raise 
$500  to  finance  civil  rights  pro- 
jects, 

William  Pels,  president  of  Ben- 
nington College,  has  given  his  full 
support  to  the  activity,  and  also 
attended  the  meeting  on  Monday 
evening.  "We  think  It  Is  nice  that 
President  Pels  Is  being  so  co-op- 
erative," said  Miss  Slegal. 

The  formal  meeting  on  Monday 
followed  the  Informal  activity  ov- 
er the  weekend,  which  was  said  to 
have  been  the  first  successful  civ- 
il rights  meeting  since  1959,  when 
there  was  a  great  deal  of  Interest 

in  such  activities. 


have  they  returned  for  further  ob- 
servation and  talks  in  support  of 
the  non-violent  movement. 


On  Priday  night  Jay  Davis  and 
Mr.  Eusden  returned  to  Williams- 
town,  and  spoke  to  a  crowd  of  al- 
most 500  spread  throughout  Bax- 
ter Hall.  The  attendance  reflected 
the  great  interest  stirred  on  cam- 
pus by  the  events  in  Birmingham 
and  Williams'  participation  In 
them.  Although  the  talk  was  not 
planned  until  late  Priday  after- 
noon about  400  filled  the  fresh- 
man lounge,  while  another  hun- 
dred crowded  Into  the  radio  sta- 
tion to  hear  the  traveler'  account 
of  their  experiences. 


Chaplain  Eusden  and  Davis 
were  greeted  by  applause  as  they 
entered  the  room,  and  Mr.  Eusden 
spoke  first  after  an  introduction 
by  Steve  Block  '65,  co-chairman 
with  Davis  of  next  year's  Civil 
Rights  Committee  who  had  co- 
ordinated news  of  the  Birming- 
ham trip  throughout  the  week.  Ob-

Spring  hit  the  college  scene  this 
week  with  a  flair  as  three 
different  college  mobs  sought  to 
outdo  each  other  in  making  loud 
and  costly  demonstrations. 
Princeton  had  the  dubious  dis- 
tinction of  being  the  initiator  of 
the  action,  which  has  since  spread 
to  Brown  and  Yale.  I 

The  two  and  one  half  hour 
"Spring  Riot"  of  last  Monday  at 
Princeton  involved  more  than  1500 
students  and  resulted  in  damages 
estimated  in  the  thousands  of 
dollars.  Fourteen  students  were 
apprehended  by  the  police  while 
cards  were  taken  from  another  36 
students  in  the  wake  of  the  riot- 
ous behavior. 

Damage  Private  Homes 

The  spontaneous  mob  account- 
ed for  damage  to  fences,  windows, 
and  an  air  compressor  on  the 
campus  before  really  raising 
havoc  in  the  community.  Private 
homes,  autos,  signs,  and  fixtures 
were  damaged  with  estimates  run- 
ning around  $1200.  One  fire  tem- 
porarily halted  the  operation  of 
the  Pennsylvania  Railroad,  be- 
cause of  the  damage  done  to  the 
ties.  The  students  also  made  an 
abortive  attempt  to  tip  over  a 
freight  car. 

No  final  decision  on  the  method 
of  payment  for  damages  or  on 
any  disciplinary  action  has  been 
taken,  but  President  Robert  Go- 
heen  stated  that  "costs  will  be  as- 
sessed against  the  student  body," 
and  that  "severe  disciplinary  ac- 
tion Is  planned."  He  called  the 
riot  "a  shocking  display  of  indi- 
vidual and  collective  hooliganism." 
A  petition  has  been  started  by 
the  Undergraduate  Council  to  get 
the  signatures  of  500  rioters  in 
order  to  make  a  formal  apology 
and  a  plea  for  leniency  for  the  ap- 
prehended  students. 

Dogs  Used  On  Mob 

Brown  added  its  share  to  the 
turmoil  of  the  week  by  staging 
several  demonstrations  that  took 
place  over  a  period  of  seven  hours 
and  included  more  than  1,000  stu- 
dents. Nearly  50  people  were  ap- 
prehended, but  although  much 
noise  was  made,  relatively  little 
damage  was  done.  It  did,  how- 
ever, take  the  police  force  en  mas-

At  last  night's  meeting,  t  h  e  i 
freshman  council  representatives 
voted  to  recommend  to  their  class 
that  the  $300  fine,  imposed  after 
their  recent  food  riot  be  donated 
to  the  Northern  Student  Move- 
ment. This  latest  move  came  af- 
ter rebellious  forces  in  the  fresh- 
man dining  hall  smashed  $600 
worth  of  china  and  glass  in 
last  Thursday's  apolitical  upheav- 
al. 

The  riot  was  at  least  partly  at- 
tributable, as  one  frosh  suggested 
to  rumors  that  last  year's  class 
had  "turned  over  all  the  tables 
and  really  busted  things  up."  Des- 
pite the  admittedly  traditional 
nature  of  the  annual  food  riot, 
the  powers  in  Hopkins  Hall  were 
unable  to  see  the  outburst  as  A 
Good  Thing,  and  promptly  slap- 
ped the  arbitrary  fine  of  $300  on 
top  of  the  original  costs  on  the 
whole  freshman  class. 

Despite  the  severity  of  the  fine, 
however,  officials  seemed  justified, 
insofar  as  some  action  was  nec- 
essary. One  participant  ruefully 
mused  that  "It  was  a  pretty  dumb 
thing  to  do  -  we  hedn't  even  got- 
ten   the    potatoes    and,   all    of   a 


sudden,  people  started  throwing 
dishes." 

On  Priday,  the  day  after  the  riot, 
freshmen  found  themselves  con- 
fronted with  notices  that  no 
meals  would  be  served  until  the 
fine  was  paid.  Tliis  questionable 
tactic  was  almost  Immediately  a- 
bandoned  and  meals  will  now  be 
served  cafeteria  style  indefinitely. 

At  last  night's  meeting,  the 
council  spent  approximately  45 
minutes  with  Dean  of  Pi'eshmen 
Harlan  P.  Hanson,  asking  about 
the  rationale  behind  the  fine. 
Hanson  said  that  it  had  to  be  lev- 
ied on  the  class  as  a  whole,  since 
no  individual  offenders  had  been 
detected. 

The  council  decided  that  mem- 
bers of  the  council  would  be  sta- 
tioned at  dining  room  doors  to 
collect  from  those  delinquent  in 
payment.  ^ 

Steven  Stolzberg  '63  addressed 
the  council  meeting  in  support  of 
the  suggestion  that  he  find  mon- 
ey be  given  to  the  NSM.  Dean 
Hanson  was  reported  to  have  a- 
greed,  although  he  wished  to  wait 
until  the  class  as  a  whole  approv- 
<es  of  the  plan.

Chi  Psi  To  Sponsor  Unit  Next  Fall 


by  Peb  Bloom 

On  Saturday,  May  11,  the  Board 
of  Governors  of  the  Williams 
chapter  of  Chi  Psi  approved  a 
recommendation  by  an  undergrad- 
uate-alumni committee  that  it 
should  sponsor  a  residential  unit 
In  the  fall  of  1963.  This  action  is 
pending  approval  by  the  alumni 
body  as  a  whole. 

The  committee,  headed  by  Har- 
old Goodbody  '27,  had  been 
weighing  the  problems  and  re- 
sponsibilities for  fraternities  since 
last  October,  and  only  when  the 
college  made  public  Its  timetable, 
setting  1963  as  the  last  year  of 
formal  rushing,  did  the  committee 
ask  the  Chi  Psi  undergraduates  to 
vote  on  the  matter.  Its  report 
states  that  the  undergraduates, 
"after"  careful  consideration  re- 
luctantly came  to  the  decision 
that  once  the  new  system  .  . .  was 
fully  operative,"  there  would  be 
no  way  that  a  fraternity  could 
"continue  in  a  meaningful  man- 
ner.'' Because  of  this,  the  Chi  Psi 
undergraduates  decided  to  become 
dormant  and  sponsor  a  social  unit 
In  the  fall  of  1963. 


The  committee  report  made  It 
quite  clear  that  Its  recommenda- 
tions were  "not  to  be  Interpreted 
to  mean  that  this  Committee  ap- 
proves of  the  recommendations 
made  In  the  Angevlne  Report.  The 
physical  facilities  of  the  chapter 
are  to  be  leased  to  the  college  for 
four  years.  During  this  period  the 
college  is  to  assume  total  finan- 
cial responsibility.  Undergraduate 
President,  John  Poster,  '64  point- 
ed out  that  the  chapter  plans  to 
retain  Its  charter,  ownership  of 
physical  facilities  and  capital 
fund  in  the  "forseeable  future." 
This  "allows  ample  opportunity 
for  the  Chi  Psi  alumni  to  consider 
future    developments." 

The  report  noted  that  "since  Its 
founding  in  1842,"  Chi  Pst  at  Wil- 
liams has  been  dormant  on  three 
occasions,  and  that  the  present 
period  of  dormancy  could  be  fol- 
lowed by  a  "reactivation  of  the 
chapter." 

Present  Sy«tem  Doomed 

Chi  Psi  undergraduate  senti- 
ment at  this  time  is  that  formal 
rushing  under  present  conditions 


would  be  meaningless  next  fall  be- 
cause the  college  timetable  will  al- 
ter the  role  of  fraternities  within 
a  year.  The  basic  change  In  the 
social  system  is  In  the  method  of 
selection,  and  given  their  decision 
to  Join  the  new  system  Immedi- 
ately, the  Chi  Psi  undergraduates 
decided  to  participate  without  res- 
ervation, foregoing  use  of  the  pre- 
sent selective  system.  This  deci- 
sion was  not  made  without  Initial 
reservation  and  extensive  consi- 
deration. The  Chi  Psi  undergrad- 
uates look  forward  to  the  Initia- 
tion of  a  Chi  Psi  social  unit  with 
high  expectations. 

Jack  Lelngang  '64,  a  member  of 
the  Chi  Psi  undergraduate  com- 
mittee said  that  the  college  plans 
to  send  to  all  sophomores  a  list 
of  all  residential-social  units  by 
mid-summer.  They  can  then 
apply  to  any  unit  or  units  until 
September  first.  The  name  draw- 
ing win  be  done  by  the  adminis- 
tration. The  drawing  will  be  com- 
pleted prior  to  rush  week,  "so  that 
fomiial  inishlng  will  still  be  open 
to  those  who  do  not  get  Into  the 
social  unit  of  their  choice." 


He  has  been  director  of  admis- 
sions for  the  Cluett  Center.  As  an 
undergraduate  at  Williams,  he  was 
a  member  of  Phi  Beta  Kap- 
pa and  Gargoyle. 

After  a  year  with  the  Tax  Re- 
search Division  of  the  U.S.  Trea- 
sury, he  spent  four  years  in  the 
U.S.  Navy.  Receiving  his  M.A.  and 
Ph.D.  degrees  in  1947  from  the 
University  of  Chicago,  he  was  ap- 
pointed to  the  Williams  faculty. 

Pi-om  1950  to  1954,  he  was  a 
Middle  and  Par  Eastern  econo- 
mist with  the  Import-Export  Bank 
of  Washington.  He  sp)ent  the  19- 
58-59  academic  year  as  Brookings 
National  Research  Professor  in 
Haiti. 

Bruton  is  associate  professor  of 
economics,  having  come  to  Wil- 
liams last  Pall.  Mrs.  Burns,  a  Rad- 
cllffe  alumnae,  has  been  Admin- 
istrative Officer  at  the  Cluett 
Center  the  past  two  years.  Pow- 
er, an  associate  pi-ofessor,  has 
taught  at  Williams  since  1952. 
Rhoads  came  here  as  assistant 
professor  in  1960. 


Spivey  Renamed 
As  S.  V.  Director 


Robert  A.  Spivey,  Assistant  Pro- 
fessor of  Religion,  has  been  reap- 
pointed as  Director  of  the  Stu-' 
dent  Union.  Spivey  was  appointed 
last  year  to  replace  Warren  Ilch- 
man. 

Spivey  will  also  serve  as  Chap- 
lin of  the  College  next  year  during 
John  D.  Eusden's  absence.  Eusden 
has  been  granted  a  sabbatical 
to  study  Buddhism  In  Japan. 
Spivey  said  that  he  hoped  to  be 
as  active  as  Eusden  in  all  areas 
particularly  the  Civil  Rights 
movement. 

Spivey  Is  currently  teaching 
courses  In  old  and  new  testament 
interpretation  and  modem  Jud- 
aism as  well  as  the  sequence 
course.  Because  of  his  h  eavy 
schedule,  however,  he  will  offer 
only  the  old  and  new  testament 
course  next  year.

Editorial 

On  Freshmen   And   Fraternities 

Notes  scrawled  on  the  back  of  a  nrl  rock  at  the  Cascades: 
This  year,  which  ha.s  been  an  o.xcitinif  one,  although  not  al- 
ways agreeable,  seems  determined  to  end,  not  witli  a  whim|oer, 
but  with  a  hang.  Tiie  centers  ot  tlie  coinmoHon  are  not,  as  one 
would  e.xpeet,  due  to  new  develo|jments,  but  are  rather  simply 
variations  on  the  two  tlieines  of  freshman  riots  and  fraternities. 

Although  we  are  usually  in  sym])athy  with  rebellion  of  any 
sort,  we  simply  cannot  concloiie  last  week's  freshman  riot,  which 
seems  to  ha\e  been  wanton  and  ill-advised  and,  worse  yet,  to  no 
good  end.  We  agree  in  the  censnie  of  the  class,  or  at  least  of  those 
members  who  perpetrated  the  riot,  c\eii  if  they  have  retreated  into 
the  anonymity  of  numbers,  as  so  often  hajjpens  in  riots  when  dam- 
ages have  been  incurred  and  fines  are  imminent.  The  destruction 
of  the  dining  room  was  really  pointless  and  we  think  that  the 
Iresluncn,  through  an  action  whicli  was  conceived  with  what  our 
barrister  friends  call  "nialiee  aforethought,"  have  once  again  laised 
the  question  of  whether  the  students  are  really  pre|)ared  to  as- 
sume the  responsibility  for  which  they  liave  been  clamoring  during 
the  course  of  the  year.  The  dichotomy  between  students  who  hope 
for  respect  and  responsibility  and  those  who  act  as  immaturely  as 
the  fresluneu  did,  is  overwhelming,  and  a  violent  and  senseless 
destrueticju  of  the  dining  room  discredits  the  whole  student  bodv. 

The  injury  sustained  by  one  of  the  freshmen  during  the  riot, 
in  which  plates,  glasses  and  j^itchers  were  hurled  with  mad  aban- 
don, is  regrettable,  of  course,  and,  without  sounding  overly  pater- 
nal, we  ho|)e  the  instigators  and  their  slingers  learned  a  lesson. 
There  was  simply  no  reason  for  a  riot  of  this  sort,  which  was  to 
protest  nothing,  but  was  rather  carried  out  for  the  sake  of  sheer 
and  gleeful  destruction. 

The  adiniuistration  managed  once  again  to  add  a  comic  aspect 
to  the  whole  affair,  howexer,  for  their  first  thought,  as  irate  par- 
ents, was  that  the  naiiglitv  children  must  be  sent  to  bed  without 
their  suppers.  This  is  hardly  justice  to  fit  the  crime,  and  a  more 
equitable  solution,  whereby  the  fine  will  be  donated  to  NSM, 
seems  much  more  satisfactory.  The  |)roblein  is  that  the  threat  of 
a  cessation  of  dining  service  to  the  freshmen  for  the  lemainder  of 
the  year  is  so  extravagant  as  to  be  idle;  similar  threats  of  years 
past— cancellation  of  Winter  Carnival,  for  example,— make  it  seem 
as  if  someone  is  looking  for  vengeance  rather  than  retribution, 
and  there  is  a  subsequent  loss  of  respect  for  authority  which  seems 
incapable  of  dealing  with  matters  of  this  sort.  Hopefully,  the  ad- 
ministration will  deal  with  the  rioters  in  a  sensible  manner,  and 
hopefully,  the  freshmen  will  res|50nd  in  the  same  way. 

We  recominend  to  the  freshmen  that  they  pay  their  fine  like 
good  little  boys  and  that  the  money  be  given  to  NSM,  and  the 
whole  affair  will  be  forgotten.  After  reading  about  the  riots  at 
other  schools,  we  can  consider  ourselves  fortunate  that  the  ram- 
bunctious freshmen  didn't  ti]i  over  Baxter  Hall. 

The  situation  with  fraternities,  which  one  looked  like  a  game 
of  cateh-as-cateh-can  l)etvveen  the  college  and  the  houses,  was 
somewhat  clarified  when  three  houses  announced  their  intentions 
of  leasing  their  pro]ierties  to  the  college.  At  the  risk  of  sounding 
either  biased  or  in  a  rushing  mood,  we  would  say  that  the  deliver- 
ance of  Ohi  Psi  was  not  only  the  most  significant,  but  the  most 
remarkable  as  well.  Long  regarded  as  the  staunchiest  jiillar  of 
fraternity  row.  the  Lodge  capitidated  with  a  maximum  of  grace 
and  a  minimum  of  complaint.  Although  we  still  hear  of  houses 
which  plan  to  hold  out  to  the  end  of  time,  the  roughest  part  of 
the  transition  seems  to  he  over. 

One  interesting  aspect  of  the  whole  affair,  however,  is  the 
limitation  of  lea.sc  which  is  part  of  each  contract:  in  each  case, 
there  is  a  stipulated  |)eriod  of  either  three  or  four  years,  after 
which  the  trustees  of  each  house  will  reconsider  their  decision. 
If  the  college  fails  to  live  up  to  its  |ilans  for  A  New  Williams,  these 
reconsiderations  could  develop  into  a  demand  for  the  return  of 
the  property,  at  which  point,  the  whole  business  would  start  all 
over  again. 

The  challenge  has  been  left  up  to  the  college  now,  not  really 
to  provide  a  better  college  for  the  students,  but  to  create  an  en- 
vironment in  which  there  are  opportiuiities  for  the  students  to 
make  a  better  college.  The  ultimate  responsibility  for  the  success 
of  the  new  social  system  must  fall  to  the  students,  particularly 
those  running  the  new  social  unit,  to  show  that  all  the  strain  has 
not  been  in  vain. 

The  action  several  weeks  ago  by  the  Zeta  Psi  national,  is 
the  first  indication  that  the  whole  business  is  beginning  to  be 
taken  seriously  by  groups  outside  the  campus.  Nationals  now  must 
fear  that  the  plague  will  spread  to  other  colleges,  where  houses 
seem  as  firmly  entrenched  as  they  once  did  at  Williams.  The  in- 
junction is  the  first  of  what  we  see  as  a  succession  of  desperation 
moves  by  fraternities  to  save  themselves,  a  movement  whose  suc-

By  John  Jobeless 

Firmly  convinced  that  "if  col- 
leec-level  education  is  to  be  pre- 
served as  an  entity  unto  itself  it 
will  have  to  be  at  places  like  Wil- 
liams," Benjamin  W.  Labaree  a- 
waits  with  great  expectation  his 
coming  to  Williamstown  in  Sept- 
ember as  Dean  of  the  CoUeye. 

At  34,  his  experience  includes 
stints  at  a  leading  prep  school, 
a  highly  regarded  small  women's 
college,  and  a  world-famed  large 
university.  For  Labaree,  the  .small 
men's  college  nestled  in  the  Berk- 
shires  will  surpass  the  other  three 
types,  for  it  represents  the  "last 
battleground  for  the  preservation 
of  the   liberal   arts." 

This,  to  him,  is  a  vital  task. 
He  believes  education  to  be  so- 
ciety's most  important  function 
and  the  education  of  men  its 
most  important  aspect.  Since  the 
"small  college  is  the  best  organ- 
ized institution  for  meeting  this 
task,"  he  is  excited  by  the  chal- 
lenge of  filling  an  important  post 
at  Williams. 

After  receiving  his  B.A.  from 
Yale  in  1950,  Labaree  took  a 
teaching  position  at  Philips  Exeter 
Academy.  There,  he  was  exposed 
to  excellence  in  education  for  the 
first  time  as  a  non-student.  The 
prestigious  .  boys'  prep  school  is 
made  up  of  excellent  students,  ex- 
cellent faculty,  and  excellent  fac- 
ilities. Classes  rarely  exceed  a  doz- 
en, and  the  Socratic  method  is 
the  rule  rather  than  the  excep- 
tion. Indeed,  Exeter  fosters  "tea- 
ching at  its  very  best." 

T\yo  years  later,  Labaree  went  to 
Cambridge  to  work  toward  his' 
Harvard  M.A.  (1953)  and  Ph.D.j 
(1957),  both  in  history.  A  year  at| 


BENJAMIN    W.     LABAREE 

Connecticut  College  for  Women 
in  New  London  followed.  There  he 
came  to  enjoy  the  relaxed,  friend- 
ly, .small-college  atmosphere,  in 
which  close  relationships  among 
faculty  and  students  flourish. 

The  following  year  he  returned 
to  Harvard  as  instructor  in  his- 
tory and  Burr  senior  tutor  at 
Winthrop  House,  where  he  served 
as  dean  to  some  350-400  students. 
At  Harvard,  Labaree  experienced 
"excellence  in  education  in  its 
fullest  sense.  Whatever  the  intel- 
lectual is  supposed  to  be  doing  in 
our  society.  Harvard  is  doing  it.'' 

What  Labaree  expects  to  find, 
and  one  would  guess  from  his  en- 
thusiasm, to  foster  at  Williams  is 
an  amalgam  of  the  best  qualities 
of  each  of  these  phases  of  his  ex- 
perience.

Winch  Gives  Parents'  Day  Speech , 
Sees  Need  For  Science  Education 

The  compelling  need  for  science  education  of  the  non-sci- 
entist was  stressed  at  Williams  College  in  the  S])eech  delivered 
to  jDarents  and  relati\es  of  some  220  undergraduates,  gathered 
for  Parents'  Weekend, 

Dr.  Ralph  P.  Winch,  Barkley  Jermain  Professor  of  Natural 
Philosophy  and  chainnan  of  the  physics  de|5artment,  termed  tlie 
need  to  give  non-scientists  at  least  some  knowledge  of  science 
"the  most  im]3ortant  ]Droblem  facing  the  liberal  arts  college  and  the 
nation  today."  ^ 

"Ours  is  a  scientific-civilization,"  Dr.  Winch  noted,  "If  this 
world  is   to   save   itself   from   the 


methods  of  self-destruction  which 
science  has  placed  in  the  hands  of 
the  political  leaders,  we  must  see 
that  these  leaders  (who,  as  in  the 
past  have  been  raised  in  the  fields 
of  the  humanities  or  social  scien- 
ces) are  taught  some  scien- 
tific understanding,"  the  physi- 
cist emphasized. 

Dr.  Winch's  address  was  the 
main  feature  of  the  annual  Par- 
ents' Day  program  held  in  Chap- 
in  Hall.  A  capacity  audience  of 
some  600  parents  and  friends  and 
250  undergraduates  filled  Chapin 
Hall  for  the  program.  Williams 
President  John  E.  Sawyer  welcom- 
ed the  parents,  praised  their  in- 
terest in  their  sons'  college  and 
education  and  introduced  other 
members  of  the  college  facul- 
ty and  administration  to  the 
group. 

The  weekend  visitors  had  arriv- 
ed Friday  and  attended  classes 
and  viewed  athletic  events  and 
other  college  functions  with  their 
sons.  Following  the  Saturday 
noon  program,  the  visitors  were 
guests  of  the  college  at  a  buffet 
luncheon  held  inside  Baxter  Hall, 
due  to  the  inclement  weather.

touch  with  Ephland  only  since  his 
January  teaching  appointment.  In 
a  few  short  months,  he  has  fam- 
iliarized himself  remarkably  with 
current  issues  and  concerns  ul 
Williams.  He  has  already  created 
for  himself  a  Williams  frame  of 
reference,  revealed  in  his  fluid  use 
of  the  first  person  plural  in  dls- 
cu-ssing  its  affairs. 

For  Labaree,  one  of  the  most 
fascinating  things  about  William.s 
is  its  undergraduates'  desire  for 
student  responsibility,  which  he 
describes  as  a  unique  and  healthy 
situation,  capable  of  contributing 
constructively  and  significantly  lu 
the  community  as  a  whole. 

Along  somewhat  the  same  line, 
he  views  the  fusion  of  curricular 
and  extra-curricular  education  a.s 
an  ideal.  In  an  area  of  peak  con- 
cern just  how,  he  points  out  that 
"the  concept  of  civil  liberties 
should  be  part  and  parcel  of  the 
liberal  education."  Students 
should  both  read  Gunnar  Myrdal 
and  go  on  a  freedom  ride,  for  ex- 
ample, if  their  understanding  is 
to  be  more  than  partial. 

Labor  of  Love 

As  Dean  of  the  College,  in 
which  post  he  will  succeed  Robert 
R.  R.  Brooks  who  has  held  the 
job  17  years,  Labaree's  main  con- 
cern will  be  with  the  students. 
"I  want  to  get  to  know  the  .stu- 
dents and  to  work  with  them," 
he  says  of  a  job  he  obviously  con- 
siders a  labor  of  love.  In  his  value 
structure,  people  and  conversation 
receive  high  priority. 

Ben  Labaree's  first  .semester  in 
Williamstown  will  be  a  busy  one 
In  addition  to  getting  used  to  a 
new  job,  he  intends  to  give  cours- 
es in  history.  Beyond  his  per.sonal 
desire  to  teach,  he  feels  a  dean 
should  maintain  classroom  con- 
tact with  students.  His  manu- 
script on  the  Boston  Tea  Party  i.s 
due  at  the  publisher's  January  1. 
He  is  married  and  has  two  youuK 
sons.  And  he  intends  to  indulge 
in  at  least  .some  of  his  varied  in- 
terests -  skiing  and  music,  to 
name  but  two. 

If  astuteness,  background,  and 
vigor  mean  anything,  as  they 
surely  do,  Labaree  seems  ominenl- 
ly  suited  to  his  new  position.

Art  Forgery,  Languages  Of  Science, 
Topics  Discussed  During  Lectures 

Asimov    On    Science  Waterhouse  On  Art 


by  Arthur  Sleeper 

Isaac  Asimov,  renowned  science 
fiction  and  popular  science  writer, 
lent  an  air  of  Joviality  to  the  Wil- 
liams community  in  his  appear- 
ance at  Jesup  Hall  last  Tuesday 
night. 

Asimov's  popularized  Broolclyn 
type  of  humor  dominated  the  en- 
tire lecture,  apparently  to  the  im- 
mense satisfaction  of  the  audi- 
ence. Yet,  beneath  the  buffoon 
image,  Asimov  proved  to  be  a  ser- 
ious scholar.  The  assistant  pro- 
fessor of  chemistry  at  Boston  Un- 
iversity Medical  School  discussed 
some  of  the  problems  of  commun- 
ication between  scientists  and  lay- 
men. 

Asimov  noted  that  in  the  16th 
century  there  existed  a  universal 
language,  Latin,  which  was  used 
exclusively  by  all  learned  men.  In 
addition,  there  existed  only  a  lim- 
ited amount  of  knowledge,  making 
it  possible  for  scholars  to  be  well- 
versed  in  a  variety  of  fields. 

"Into  this  Garden  of  Eden,"  As- 
imov asserted  with  a  flash  of 
rhetoric,  "there  crawled  two  ser- 
pents." One  serpent  was  what  Asi- 
mov termed  "the  vulgarization  of 
language,"  the  beginning  of  the 
practice  of  scientists  writing  in 
their  own  native  tonfeues.  The  re- 
sult was  the  establishment  of  lan- 
guate  barriers  which  inhibited  the 
Intercourse  of  scientific  ideas. 

Another  kind  of  barrier  cited  by 
Asimov  lay  in  mathematics.  As  an 
example,  Gregor  Mendel's  paper 
on  genetics  was  not  accepted  by 
other  botanists  of  his  time  large- 
ly because  of  his  use  of  simple 
arithmetic.  A  whole  generation  of 
potential  genetic  thought  was 
wasted  simply  because  botanists 
refused  to  consider  genetics  in 
quantitative  terms. 

A  third  type  of  barrier  was  the 
"language  of  gibberish."  This 
problem  was  illustrated  with  the 
example  of  Johann  Kepler,  whose 
laws  of  planetary  motion  were  lost 
in  his  astrological  gibberish. 

The  second  serpent  to  creep  in- 
to Asimov's  Garden  of  Eden  was 
the  extension  of  knowledge  by 
scientific  research,  which  created 
specialized  languages  and  a  mass 
of  indigestible  scientific  papers. 

As  a  solution  to  these  problems, 
Asimov  called  for  a  group  of  spec- 
ialists in  non-specialization  (in 
which  he  placed  himself)  to  co- 
ordinate and  popularize  science. 


By    Ken    Gaines 

Last  Thursday  afternoon  at 
4:15  Ellis  K.  Waterhouse,  Sterl- 
ing Clark  Professor  of  Art,  lec- 
tured to  a  capacity  crowd  in 
Lawrence  Hall  on  "The  Affair  of 
the  Van  Meegeren  Forgeries,"  one 
of   art   history's    greatest  hoaxes. 

Professor  Waterhouse  began  by 
givin-T  the  background  for  the 
story,  necessary  to  those  in  the 
audience  who  were  unfamiliar 
with  the  paintings  of  the  nth 
Century  Dutch  artist,  Vermeer, 
and  his  20th  Century  imitator. 
Van  Meegeren.  Vermeer,  it  seems, 
had  been  a  very  obscure,  unknown 
artist  until  his  discovery  by  a 
French  critic  in  the  latter  half 
of  the  last  century.  Little  was 
known,  therefore,  about  the  num- 
ber of  his  paintings  which  were 
in  existence  nor  about  the  range 
of  his  subject  miatter. 

Two  slides  were  then  shown  of 
genuine  Vermeer 's  which  had  been 
discovered  in  the  early  190O's.  The 
discovery  of  these  two  paintings 
made  the  entire  world  "Verme- 
er-conscious"  and  from  then  on 
everyone  was  on  the  lookout  for 
more  works  by  this  newly  crowned 
Dutch  national   hero. 

At  this  point  Mr.  Waterhouse 
introduced  the  main  character  in 
his  drama.  This  was  Van  Meeger- 
en, a  little  known  Dutch  artist  of 
the  20th  Century. 

Professor  Waterhouse  then  ex- 
plained the  reasons  for  the  suc- 
cess of  Van  Meegeren's  initial 
hoax.  He  had  perfected  a  medium 
or  pigment  which,  when  subjected 
to  the  various  age  tests  that  all 
old  paintings  must  undergo,  be- 
haved exactly  as  nth  Century 
pigment  did  when  subjected  to  the 
same  tests. 

Van  Meegeren's  ultimate  undo- 
ing, strangely  enough,  was 
brought  about  by  the  fact  that  he 
did  not  paint  the  same  type  of 
subjects  as  did  Vermeer  and  after 
a  flood  of  these  forgeries  had  been 
introduced  from  1938  to  1945  the 
more  discerning  critics  could  just 
not  believe  that  the  paintings 
were  authentic.  The  expressions 
on  Van  Meegeren's  figures  were 
characterised  by  Mr.  Waterhouse 
as  "post-Freudian"  and  "most 
disagreeable." 

The  lecture  ended  on  a  person- 
al note  as  Professor  Waterhouse 
revealed  that  he  had  been  one  of 
the  group  of  art  critics  who  had 
taken  an  active  part  in  exposing 
Van  Meegeren  in  1945  in  Rotter- 
dam just  two  days  after  the  Ger- 
man's had  withdrawn  from  Hol- 
land. 


Lockhart  Wins  Gilbert  W.  Gabriel  Award

eleven  roles  at  Williams  during 
his  career  and  had  served  as  pres- 
ident of  Cap  and  Bells. 

Clark  Hobble  '63  was  also  rec-

viously  greatly  moved  by  his  ex- 
periences, Eusden  stated,  "we  went 
because  we  couldn't  stay  awar 
when  a  matter  of  human  rights 
was  Involved  and  when  our  friends 
were  suffering." 

"We  are  a  candidate  for  becom- 
ing the  arch-hypocritical  nation 
of  the  world,"  said  Eusden.  He 
challenged  the  common  argu- 
ment that  the  problem  should  be 
settled  by  the  southerners  alone, 
saying  that  in  the  case  of  a  na- 
tional problem  like  this  it  was 
good  to  have  representatives  of 
another  section  of  the  country 
present. 

The  only  representatives  of  the 
white  north  were  the  Coffins,  Eus- 
den, Davis,  nineteen  rabbis,  a 
Yale  Law  School  Professor,  and  a 
reporter  from  the  Reporter  Mag- 
azine who  has  been  following  Cof- 
fin around  the  country. 

Eusden  contended  that  Birm- 
ingham has  been  the  most 
segregated  in  the  world,  after  Jo- 
hannesburg, South  Africa.  The 
demonstrations  have  been  aimed 
at  gaining  four  points — release  of 
prisoners,  upgrading  of  Negro  job 
opportunities,  desegregation  of 
downtown  eating  facilities,  and 
some  progress  on  school  integra- 
tion. 

Eusden  explained  that  mass  de- 
monstrations are  u.seful  in  draw- 
ing attention  to  problems  in  the 
mate  media.  Moreover,  business 
stops  for  hours  before  and  after, 
and  thus  pressure  is  put  on  the 


business  men  to  seek  a  settlement 

"Northerners  can  do  two 
things,"  suggested  Eusden.  He 
asked  that  everyone  be  vigllent  to 
see  that  the  demands  agreed  to 
are  carried  out,  and  exert  pres- 
sure on  the  President  and  Attor- 
ney General  so  that  they  will 
take  interest  in  the  situation. 

Young  Davis  was  articulate  and 
witty  in  his  talk  about  his  own 
response  to  Birmingham.  He  con- 
centrated on  the  reactions  of  the 
Negroes  to  the  knowledge  that  so 
many  here  were  supporting  them, 
and  on  the  "braveness  and  beau- 
ty" of  their  actions. 

Davis  lauded  the  role  of  Negro 
students,  and  the  discipline  they 
gained  in  training  sessions  in  the 
churches.  He  explained  that  there 
was  nothing  somber  about  these 
all  day  meetings,  but  that  the 
children  sang  and  learned  to  keep 
singing  even  if  they  had  to  dem- 
onstrate. 

The  former  freedom  rider 
described  with  great  vividness  the 
atrocities  of  the  Birmingham 
police  and  especially  of  commls- 
.sioner  "Bull"  Connor.  He  felt 
however,  that  even  the  chief  of 
police  had  learned  the  terrible 
force  of  singing  children  and  that 
they  would  emerge  from  the  chur- 
ches Into  the  streets  if  the  lead- 
ers requested. 

Davis  suggested  three  actions 
for  northern  students  whose 
hearts  are  with  the  "movement." 
He    urged   contributions    to    the

DU  Leads  Intramurals;  followed  By  Track  Team  Wins  Little  Three; 
Phi  Sig,  Chi  Psi,  Beta,  Phi  Gam,  KA  ^'"•'"'  ^""""'  ^*"*  ^^ 


By  Dick  Hubbard 

As  the  intramural  athletic  sea- 
son draws  to  a  hasty  close,  DU 
looks  like  the  best  bet  to  take  the 
coveted  crown. 

101   Points 

The  Zoomen  have  amassed  a 
total  of  101  points  with  only  soft- 
ball,  tennis,  and  golf  I'emalnlng 
to  be  completed.  DU  Is  in  the 
semifinals  of  softball  and  the 
quarterfinals  of  golf. 

Nine  points  behind  DU  is  Phi 
Slg,  Tfhich  is  followed  closely  by 
four  teams  which  have  outside 
shots  at  the  title:  Chi  Psi,  Beta, 
Phi  Gam,  and  KA,  with  91,  90, 
89,  and  86  points  respectively. 

Volleyball,  ping  pong,  and  track 
have  been  completed  since  the 
last    article  on    Intramurals,    and 


in  these  three  sports,  KA  has 
made  the  biggest  gain,  amassing 
38  points  by  winning  both  volley- 
ball and  track,  while  taking  third 
in  ping  pong.  The  Kaps  have  per- 
haps the  best  shot  at  overtaking 
DU  as  they  are  in  the  finals  of 
tennis,  the  semi-finals  of  soft- 
ball,  and  the  semi-finals  of  golf. 
As  DU  is  assured  of  at  least 
35  more  points,  KA  must  win 
Softball  and  either  tennis  or  golf 
to  take  the  crown.  Beta  would 
have  to  win  both  tennis  and  golf 
while  both  KA  and  DU  lost  the 
semifinals  of  softball  to  have  a 
chance. 

Golf 

In  the  golf  quarterfinals.  Phi 
Slg  plays  AD,  KA  has  beaten  Phi 
Gam,    Beta    plays    DU.   and   Chi

Psi  plays  Phi  Delt.  In  tennis,  KA 
faces  Beta. 

KA  emerges  a  runaway  winner 
in  the  track  meet  completed  last 
Friday.  The  Kaps  took  four  firsts, 
two  seconds,  three  thirds,  and 
three  fifths  for  a  winning  total 
of  41  and  one-half  points.  DU 
took  one  first,  three  seconds,  three 
thirds,  and  a  fourth  for  28  points 
and  second  place. 

There  were  three  dual  winners 
in  the  meet,  as  Beta's  Bill  Irving 
won  both  the  high  jump  and  the 
broad  jump,  Phi  Slg's  Paul  Krit- 
zer  took  the  100  and  220,  and  St. 
A's  Starkey  swept  the  shot  put 
and  the  discus.  KA's  Dan  Voor- 
hees  won  the  440  and  took  sec- 
onds In  both  the  broad  jump  and 
the  100. 

Probably  the  best  mark  of  the 
meet  was  Starkey's  132  foot  dis- 
cus throw.  Kritzer's  23.8  in  the 
220,  Voorhees'  57.0  in  the  440,  Neil 
Peterson's  2:11.5  in  the  880,  and 
Dave  Newberry's  4:53.2  in  the  mile 
are  quite  creditable  showings  for 
jaded  and  dissipated  fraternity 
men.  It  may  be  ironic  in  this  con- 
nection that  three  of  KA's  firsts 
came  in  the  distance  events. 

Other  single  winners  were  Phi 
Delt's  Carroll  Connard  in  the  jav- 
elin with  a  throw  of  126'  6"  which 
barely  edged  Dave  Lougee  of  Phi 
Gam  by  11  inches,  and  Dean  Cline 
of  Phi  Slg  in  the  120  lows.

In  the  volleyball  competition, 
ended  two  weeks  ago,  KA  and  Beta 
defeated  Phi  Sig  and  Chi  Psi  re- 
spectively in  the  semifinals  in 
which  the  winner  of  each  of  the 
four  leagues  competed.  KA  then 
went  on  to  take  the  champion- 
ship game,  worth  20  points.  On 
the  basis  of  won-lost  records.  Phi 
Gam,  D.U.,  and  Phi  Delt  received 
11,  10,  and  10  points  respectively. 
In  ping  pong.  Phi  Delt  defeated 
DU  to  gain  6  points.  DU  gained  4, 
while  KA  and  Delta  Phi  garnered 
3,  and  Beta,  Chi  Psi,  and  Mo- 
hawk got  two  apiece.  All  other 
entries  received  one  point. 

In  softball,  Zeta  will  play  TDX 
and  DU  meets  KA  in  the  semi- 
finals. DU  made  it  as  a  result  of 
a  playoff  win  over  DKE.  League 
I  resulted  in  a  three  way  tie  be- 
tween Phi  Gam,  Zeta,  and  Psi  U. 
Zeta  drew  a  bye  as  Psi  TJ  defeat- 
ed the  Fijis,  and  then  went  on  to 
win  the  deciding  game  in  10  inn- 
ings.

le  and  aided  by  dogs  to  quell  the 
swollen  mob  after  various  groups 
had  earlier  made  panty  raids  at 
Pembroke,  thrown  stones,  lit  fire- 
crackers, and  rocked  a  bus. 

Meanwhile,  a  "normal''  fresh- 
man uprising  turned  Into  a  mew- 
slve,  five-hour  riot  at  Yale.  Over 
2,000  students  participated  In  the 
demonstrations,  which,  according 
to  one  student  at  Yale,  were  "bru- 
tally" put  down  by  the  New  Haven 
police. 


Tony  Plansky's  varsity  track- 
men swept  to  another  Little  Three 
championship  Friday  afternoon  as 
they  thoroughly  trounced  an  out- 
classed Amherst  squad,  94-41. 

This  runs  the  Ephs'  dual  meet 
record  to  5-1,  including  a  win  over 
Wesleyan.  The  favored  Pm'ple 
jumped  to  an  early  lead,  and  the 
meet's  outcome  was  never  in 
doubt,  as  Amherst  could  manage 
only  three  first  place  finishes,  all 
in   weight  events. 

Mediocre  Times 

The  cold,  raw  weather  kept  the 
Ephs  from  posting  even  com- 
mendable times.  Half-miler  Rick 
Ash',  however,  did  turn  in  a  1:58.3 
for  the  high  point  of  the  meet. 

As  usual  the  Purple  was  led  by 
strong  individual  performances. 
Sprinter  and  hurdler  Boots  Deich- 
mann  was  a  triple  winner  and 
high  point  man  with  15;  he  took 
the  100,  high,  and  low  hurdles. 
Captain  Karl  Neuse  broke  the 
tape  in  the  220  and  440.  Ash  best- 
ed the  field  in  the  880  and  Mile. 

Strength  in  Jumping 

In  the  jumping  events  Williams 
was  well-nigh  invincible,  sweeping 
the  high  jump  and  pole  vault,  and 
taking  first  and  second  in  the 
broad  jump.  Dave  Kershaw  leapt 
21'  r'  for  a  blue-ribbon  in  the 
broad  jump.  Jim  Gage  turned  in  a 
strong  second. 

John  Marxer,  John  Dixon,  and 
Skip  Gaillard  swept  the  pole 
vault;  Bill  Roberts,  Marxer,  and 
Gaillard  finished  1-2-3  in  the 
high  jump.  It  is  encouraging  to 
note  that  all  six  will  return  next 
spring. 


Eph  Netmen  Win,  9-0; 
Brown  Falls  Victim 

After  having  had  matches  with 
Dartmouth,  Harvard,  and  Prince- 
ton rained  out,  and  after  having 
lost  to  Yale  9-0,  the  varsity  ten- 
nis team  finally  had  good  luck 
with  the  Ivy  League  as  they 
blanked  Brown,  9-0  last  Satur- 
day. 

Goddard  and  Monroe 

The  Eph  mastery  was  complete 
as  only  two  matches  went  thi-ee 
sets.  Captain  Brooks  Goddard  be- 
gan things  by  whipping  Schreib- 
er  6-0,  6-3.  Pete  Monroe  had  a 
little  more  trouble  before  wearing 
down  Pister  3-6,  7-5,  6-0. 

Jack  Leutkemeyer,  Prank  Thay- 
er, Henry  Lum,  and  Bruce  Birg- 
bauer  completed  the  sweep  of  the 
singles  matches  with  wins.  Thay- 
er allowed  Kaleps  only  three 
games,  while  Lum  turned  in  the 
most  lop-sided  score  of  the  day  in 


blanking  Brown's  Plfer. 

Doubles 

The  doubles  were  no  different. 
Goddard  and  Leutkemeyer  had  to 
go  three  sets  to  win,  but  Hord 
Annstrong  and  Lum  allowed 
Delorme  and  Plsler  only  three 
games  in  their  match,  while 
George  Boltres  and  Neil  Lebowitz 
swamped  Post  and  Pifer  6-1,  6-0. 

The  season's  finale  against  Am- 
herst is  today  and  will  decide  the 
Little  Three  championship.  Wil- 
liams has  already  defeated  Wes- 
leyan 7-2,  while  the  Cardinals 
whipped  the  Jeffs  7-2  earlier  this 
season. 

This  weekend  will  witness  the 
New  England  tennis  tourney,  and 
Williams  is  sending  a  four-man 
team  of  Goddard,  Monroe,  Leut- 
kemeyer, and  Thayer  to  compete 
In  four  singles  and  two  doubles 
matches. 


Amherst  Strength  in  Wdghts 

In  the  weights  Soph  John  Ho- 
henadel  won  the  shot  for  the  only 
victory.  Amherst  showed  its  only 
strength  in  taking  the  hammer, 
javelin,  and  discus. 

In  the  sprints  Kershaw  added  a 
third  in  the  100,  as  did  Phil  Mc- 
Knight  in  the  440.  Dixon  picked 
up  a  second  behind  Deichmann 
in  the  high  hurdles.  Dusty  Grif- 
fin finished  second  in  the  low 
hurdles  and  third  in  the  highs.

Ephs  Take  Third  In 
New    England   Golf 

The  New  England  Intercollegi- 
ate Golf  Tournament  was  played 
on  the  Williamstown  Taconlc  Golf 
Course  this  weekend.  This  event 
followed  on  the  heels  of  the  cele- 
bration of  Williams  golf  coach 
Richard  Baxter's  40th  anniversary 
as  coach. 

As  things  turned  out,  conditions 
for  the  tournament  were  very  poor 
with  cold  and  rain  hampering  the 
golfers.  The  University  of  Connec- 
ticut won  the  team  contest  while 
Tufts'  Bob  Morgenstern  took  in- 
dividual honors  in  Sunday's 
match  play. 

Williams  took  third,  in  a  tie 
with  Rhode  Island,  in  the  four- 
man  team  competition  with  a 
combined  total  of  338.  UConn 
turned  in  a  326  and  was  follow- 
ed by  WPI  with  a  332. 

The  sixteen  high  individual 
scorers  then  qualified  for  the  in- 
dividual match  play  on  Sunday. 
Junior  Tom  Klug,  who  had  his 
winning  streak  stopped  at  23  in 
the  team's  recent  match  with  Yale, 
posted  an  82  on  the  soggy  course 
to  qualify.  Unfortunately,  he  ran 
into  UConn's  Dick  Wiegold,  who 
reached  the  finals,  in  the  first 
round. 

Although  Wiegold  shot  an  88, 
he  defeated  Klug  3  and  1.  Cap- 
tain George  Kilborn  also  ran  into 
bad  luck  as  he  shot  an  83  the 
first  day.  Seven  entries  shot  73 's, 
but  only  three  could  qualify  for 
the  final  group  of  16,  and  Kilborn 
was  eliminated  on  the  first  hole.

Freedom  Singring 

In  bare  feet,  the  sophomores  led 
the  whole  group  in  singing  three 
freedom  songs:  "This  Little  Light 
of  Mine,"  "We  Shall  not  Be  Mov- 
ed," and  "We  Shall  Overcome," 
which  has  become  the  hymn  of 
the  civil  rights  movement.  The 
group  of  students,  parents,  facul- 
ty, and  townsi>eople  were  at  first 
a  little  nervous,  but  most  Joined  in 
the  singing  and  forming  the  free- 
dom circle  with  joined  hands  at 
the  end.  A  large  crowd  stayed  long 
after  midnight  to  ask  questions 
and  to  visit  with  and  congratu- 
late the  travelers. 

Sunday  morning  Eusden  ad- 
dressed one  of  the  largest  crowds 
In  chapel  this  year  on  the  sub- 
ject "How  Free?"  The  chaplain 
said  that  he  was  thankful  for  the 
change  to  talk  about  Birmingham, 
since  he  would  in  any  other  case 
have  to  give  the  Parents'  Week- 
end crowd  a  sermon  on  Mother's 
Day.  Never  having  been  a  mother, 
he  chose  to  speak  on  the  moral 
and  religious  Implications  of  his 
trip.

Williams  resumed  its  losing 
ways  on  the  diamond  of  Ameri- 
can Intcinational  College  last 
Friday.  Bill  Kolodziey  pitched  a 
six-hitter  against  the  Ephmen. 
and  two  of  the  runs  he  allowed  in 
the  11-3  loss  were  unearned. 

First  Innine 

AIC  hitters  batted  around  Bruce 
Gagnier,  John  Bose,  and  Bob 
Ciulla  with  ease,  while  the  Ephs 
did  not  score  until  the  eighth  Inn- 
ing. 

The  game  was  put  virtually  out 
of  roach  in  the  first  inning,  when 
three  Williams  errors  (two  by  Ben 
Wagner  1  sandwiching  a  triple  by 
first  baseman  Brooks  and  a  dou- 
ble by  Terry  Rhicard  accounted 
for  three  runs. 

Ephs  Miss   Scoring  Chance 

A  single  by  John  Slomback. 
leading  off  the  second  inning,  fol- 
lowed by  his  steal  of  second,  set 
up  the  fourth  AIC  run.  It  was 
brougirt  home  on  the  next  play,  a 
single  by  second  baseman  Lonc- 
zak. 

Gagnier.  the  starting  pitcher, 
also  bore  the  brunt  of  AIC's  two- 
run  rally  in  the  fourth  inning. 
One  of  these  was  also  unearned, 
as  after  a  single  by  Lussier,  pitch- 
er Kolodziey  smacked  a  double  for 
the  first  run.  Then  an  error,  a 
'base  on  balls,  and  a  fielder's 
choice  put  the  second  across. 

The  Ephs  missed  a  fine  scoring 
opportunity  in  the  sixth  when 
Rick  Berry  got  on  via  an  error  by 
the  first  baseman  and  Harry  Lum 
singled  him  to  third.  With  one 
out,  Ben  Wagner  bounced  to  the 
pitcher  wlio  trapped  Berry  at 
home.  George  Mayer  walked,  but 
Steve  Hyde  popped  up  to  end  the 
inning. 

Rally  In  Eighth 

Williams  finally  broke  the  ice 
in  the  eighth  inning.  It  started 
the  same  way  as  the  sixth  -  a 
pincli  hitter  for  the  pitcher  struck 
out.    But    Berry,    a    good    leadoff

man,  worked  Kolodziey  for  a  base 
on  balls. 

In  a  rare  streak  of  wildness,  the 
pitcher  then  walked  Harry  Lum. 
Shortstop  Rhicard  missed  a  dou- 
bleplay  chance  as  he  bobbled  Ben 
Wagner's  smash,  and  the  runners 
took  two  bases  each.  Mayer  and 
Hyde  followed  with  run-scoring 
singles,  but  Don  Drott  bounced  to 
the  shortstop  who  did  not  miss 
the  double  play  this  time. 

Free  Bases 

The  Eph  pitchers  could  not  find 
the  plate  in  the  seventh  or  eighth 
innings.  John  Bose  walked  three 
batters  out  of  four  in  the  seventh 
after  a  single  and  double  put  run- 
ners on  second  and  third.  That 
resulted  in  two  runs,  and  in  the 
eighth.  Bob  Ciulla  walked  four 
men  to  aid  AIC  in  scoring  three 
runs. 

This  was  not  a  game  the  Eph.s 
could  not  have  won.  if  frontline 
pitching  and  sharper  fielding  had 
been  exhibited.  Steve  Hyde,  Wag- 
ner, Mayer,  and  Lum  all  managed 
to  extend  their  hitting  streaks. 

Hyde  is  now  at  seven,  and  is 
batting  .211  with  exactly  one  safe- 
ty in  every  game.  Lum  (3)  and 
Mayer  '4>  are  tied  for  the  club 
batting  lead  at  .344.  and  Wagner 
(5)  is  third  at  .300.  Other  Eph 
averages  are  Ron  Kidd  (.177),  the 
only  Wilhams  batter  with  two  hits 
at  AIC,  Berry  (.194),  Drott  (.240\ 
and  Leroy    (.143).

Amherst  Downs  Williams  Lacrosse; 
8-5  Loss  Ends  Little  Three  Hopes 


By  Bob  Mayer 

Paced  by  three  goals  and  an  as- 
sist from  attackman  Howie  Jones, 
the  Amherst  lacrosse  team  crush- 
ed Williams  hopes  for  the  Little 
Three  title  Piiday  by  topping  the 
Ephs  8-5  on  Cole  Field.  For  the 
erratic  Purple,  the  loss  made  their 
season's  record  2-5.  The  Jeffs 
stand  8-1  on  the  year. 

Despite  Coach  Al  Robinson's  re- 
shuffling of  the  line-up,  a  man- 
euver which  had  proven  so  suc- 
cessful against  RPI,  the  Ephs  were 
never  in  the  lead. 

Annison  Blanked 

A  big  factor  in  Amherst's  vic- 
tory was  the  Jeff  shutout  of  Wil- 
liams high-scorer  Mike  Annison. 
Annison,  who  has  accounted  for 
more  than  two-thirds  of  the  Pur- 
ple goals  this  year,  was  able  to  get 
off  only  four  shots  in  the  entire 
game,  due  to  the  fine  defensive 
work  of  Moose  Brainard.  Every 
time  the  powerful  sophomore 
would  try  to  come  aroimd  from 
behind  the  cage,  the  entire  Am- 
herst defense,  led  by  Brainard, 
seemed  to  collapse  about  him. 

Leach  Scores 

After  the  Jeffs  had  taken  an 
early  lead  on  a  score  by  Jones  at 
2:42    of    the     first    period,    Bon 


Stemplen,  moved  by  Robinson 
from  the  second  midfield  to  at- 
tack, fired  a  pass  to  Snuffy  Leach 
who  tallied  to  tie  the  game.  How- 
ever, Amherst  added  two  more 
goals  in  the  period  to  gain  a  3-1 
edge. 

Williams  rallied  briefly  in  the 
second  period,  with  Slempien, 
Leach,  and  Pete  Bichtmyer  all 
scoring  to  make  the  game  5-4  at 
the  half.  But  the  visiting  Jeffs, 
last  year's  Little  Three  champ.s, 
notched  three  more  scores  in  the 
third  quarter  to  put  the  game  out 
of  reach  for  the  Purple. 

Dartmouth  Today 

This  afternoon,  the  Ephs  will 
travel  to  Hanover,  New  Hampshire 
to  take  on  Dartmouth,  and  Satur- 
day, they  will  close  out  the  cam- 
paign with  a  home  contest  against 
Hofstra.

The  win  was  attributed  to  skill- 
ful ball-handling  and  the  brilliant 
broken-field  running  of  Amherst's 
junior  right  wing,  Larry  DeWitt. 
DeWitt  insured  the  Amherst  vic-

Frosh  Tennis  Loses; 
Amherst   Wins   6-3 

The  Williams  freshman  tennis 
team  suffered  a  6-3  defeat  in  an 
away  match  last  Piiday  at  the 
hands  of  a  powerful  Choate  s<iuad. 
The  match  went  right  down  to 
the  wire,  but  the  Ephs  were  found 
lacking  in  the  doubles  and  final- 
ly bowed. 

Thomhill  And  Ewen 

The  hard-fought  singles  match- 
es were  close  and  resulted  in  a 
three-three  split.  Tom  Thomhill, 
top  man  for  Williams,  put  up  a 
spirited  fight  before  falling  to  the 
highly-ranked  Ham  MaOlll  6-4,  6- 
2.  Bill  Ewen,  second  man  for  Wil- 
liams, played  his  usual  consistent 
game  and  defeated  Chuck  Thomas 
6-4,  6-1. 

Allen    and    Ruckman 

In  a  real  gruelling  match,  Pete 
Allen  finally  bowed  to  Bob  Mc- 
Callum  of  Choate  3-6,  6-2,  6-1. 
But  Roger  Ruckman  of  Williams 
then  turned  the  tables  and  fought 
off  match  point  at  2-5  of  the 
second  set  to  defeat  Jack  Cowell 
4-6,  9-7,  6-3. 

Schwab  and  Donahue 

Doug  Schwab,  number  five  man

Frosh  Lacrosse  Wins ; 
Takes   Little    Three 

Led  by  Punky  Booth,  the  fresh- 
man lacrosse  team  trounced  Am- 
herst 18-1  to  win  the  Little  Three 
crown. 

The  game  was  a  complete  run- 
away as  almost  everyone  got  into 
the  scoring  for  Williams.  Coupled 
with  last  week's  win  over  Wes- 
leyan,  the  win  gave  the  frosh  a 
sweep  over  their  Little  Three  op- 
ponents this  year. 

The  team  has  compiled  a  3-2 
record  this  year  against  prep 
schools  and  other  colleges  with 
one  game  remaining  against  RPI

In  prep  school  competition. 

6-3,  while  Ned  Donahue  defeated 
John  Norton  of  Choate  6-1.  6-2. 

Doubles 

The  tide  seemed  to  turn  for 
Williams  as  its  first  doubles  team 
of  Allen  and  E^ven  gained  the  ad- 
vantage of  set  point  twice  In  the 
first  set  before  losing  In  a  heart- 
breaker  to  the  determined  and 
rugged  playing  of  MaOill  and 
Thomas  8-6,  6-4. 

Then  all  hopes  for  Williams 
were  dashed  as  McCallum  and 
Cowell  teamed  to  defeat  Atlas  and 
Thomhill  of  Williams  6-3,  6-1.  In 
the  concluding  match  of  the  day, 
Lee  and  Egebert  of  Choate  suc-

Smith  '56,  assistant  director  of 
admissions,  revealed  that  57.7  per 
cent  would  come  from  high 
schools,  while  42.3  were  entering 
from  independent  schools.  This  is 
a  variation  of  less  than  one  per 
cent  from   last  year. 

"The  class  of  '67  shows  the  best 
geographic  distribution  eve  r," 
Smith  revealed,  as  he  comment- 
ed on  the  increasing  percentages 
from  the  South  and  the  West. 
New  York  is  again  the  leading 
state  with  62,  while  Massachu- 
setts sends  36,  New  Jersey  23, 
Pennsylvania  22,  Illinois  and  Ohio 
15  each,  and  California  and  Conn- 
ecticut 11  each. 

The  greatest  change  is  in  the 
number  of  students  granted  schol- 
arships by  the  college  which  is 
down  from  31  to  23  per  cent. 
Smith  explained  that  there  had 
been  as  many  applicants  who  de- 
sired scholarships  as  ever,  but 
that  fewer  of  those  accepted  fell 
In  that  group. 

Smith  predicted  that  there 
would  be  no  major  changes  in  the 
college  board  averages  although 
there  is  always  a  certain  variation 
from  year  to  year.  Smith  said  that 
this  year's  class  might  show  an 
increase  in  the  Verbal  average  and 
a  slight  decrease  in  Mathematical 
apptltude. 


Only  440  students  lived  in  dorms 
this  past  year.  Greylock  will  add 
space  for  38  sophomores,  while 
eleven  doubles  in  Morgan  will  be 
used  as  triples.  There  are  still 
nearly  40  members  of  the  class  of 
1966  who  have  not  been  assigned 
rooms. 

"I  was  taken  by  surprise  by 
(the  shortage),"  commented  Rior- 
den,  adding  that  he  was  "quite 
sure"  the  homeless  would  be  pro- 
vided with  places  to  live  by  next 
fall.  Besides  anticipated  drop- 
outs, the  College  is  prepared  to  re- 
open Wahl  House  or  other  such 
facilities. 

May  Use  New  Units 

It  was  also  pointed  out  that  if 
houses  that  are  not  filled  to  ca- 
pacity become  social  units,  some 
sophomores  may  transfer  into 
them,  leaving  new  space  behind 
them. 

The  dormitory,  once  an  annex 
to  the  Greylock  Hotel,  was  last 
used  to  house  students  a  year  ago 
when  39  juniors  and  seniors  lived 
there.  The  wooden  structure  may 
be  razed  in  the  near  future. 


Eph   Contingent   Back  From   South 


By  J.  H.  K.  Davis  II 

Pour  weary  Williams  students 
returned  from  Birmingham  late 
Monday  night  and  reported  that 
the  initial  optimism  brought  on 
by  the  successful  settlement  of  the 
desegregation  negotiations  had 
been  waylaid  by  riots,  the 
reluctance  of  the  city's  white  lead- 
ership to  back  up  their  state- 
ments, and  the  intervention  of 
carbine-carrying   state  troopers. 

John  Kifner  '63,  Roger  Warren 
'63,  Jim  Pilgrim  '63  and  Doug 
Rose  '65  "hit  only  the  high  spots 
on  the  road"  as  they  made  the 
trip  from  Birmingham  in  23 
hours  in  an  attempt  to  make 
Tuesday  classes.  Called  back  to 
the  strife-torn  city  by  the  Rev. 
Dr.  Martin  Luther  King,  Jr.,  the 
four  found  the  Gatson  Motel, 
headquarters  of  the  movement, 
roped  off  and  inaccessible.  After 
a  few  hours  of  reconnoitering, 
they  came  back  to  Williams. 

The  students  stated  that  they 
had  attended  mass  meetings,  con- 
ferred with  leaders  of  the  inte- 
gration movement,  and  talked 
with  the  inspirational  high  school 
students  who  are  leading  the  dem- 
onstrations. Extra  excitement  was 
provided  by  a  trip  to  the  Birming- 
ham jail  which  Kifner's  Berkshire 
Eaele  press  card  assured  would 
be  a  trip  and  not  a  stay. 


This  RECORD  is  the  last 
regular  issue  to  be  published 
this  year.  There  will  be  the 
usual  commencement  issue, 
after  which  a  sununer  of  dorm- 
ancy will  follow.  The  first  is- 
sue next  year  will  appear  on 
September  20. 


Folk  Concert  Sun.  Night 

A  folk  concert  to  benefit  the 
Williams  Civil  Rights  Commit- 
tee Fund  Drive  will  be  held  at 
8:00  P.M.  Sunday  in  Jesup 
Hall.  Organized  by  BUI  Dawes 
'65,  the  concert  will  feature  the 
best  in  folk  music  that  Wil- 
liams and  its  environs  can  pro- 
vide. Among  the  featured  ar- 
tists will  be  Dawes,  Dave  Mar- 
ash  '64,  Megan  Perry,  Borden 
Snow  '64,  Mac  and  Betsy  Ben- 
ford  and  Steve  Ai'kin  from 
Marlboro  College.  Other  well- 
known  talent  is  being  .sought. 
An  admission  charge  of  50 
cents  per  person  will  be  hand- 
ed over  to  the  Civil  Rights 
Committee. 


The  tension  that  exists  in  the 
city  was  rather  obvious,  they  said, 
especially  in  the  presence  of  Col. 
Lingo's  state  troopers,  who  pa- 
trolled the  streets  carrying  shot- 
guns and  carbines.  Hostility  from 
the  white  community  was  also 
met  when  the  four  moved  beyond 
the  environs  of  the  Gaston  Motel. 

Civil  Bights  At  Home 

Back  in  Williamstown  the  Wil- 
liams Civil  Rights  Committee 
Fund  Drive  is  approaching  its 
goal  of  $2,500,  and  many  recruits 
for  the  NSM  tutorial  projects  have 
been  signed  up.  Checks  for  $1,000 
have  been  sent  to  both  NSM  and 
SNEE.  Any  additional  funds  will 
also  be  forwarded  to  the  two  stu 
dent  organizations.  A  meeting  is 
scheduled  for  next  week  at  which 
those  interested  in  tutoring  can 
pick  up  applications  and  have 
questions  answered. 


Eusden  and  Davis 

The  college's  first  envoy  to  the 
South  has  been  busy  speaking  to 
interested  groups.  Chaplain  Eus- 
den and  J.H.K.  Davis  n  '65  ad- 
dressed a  sizable  gathering  in 
Baxter  Hall  last  Friday  night.  On 
Monday  they  .spoke  before  a  sur- 
prisingly large  group  of  students 
and  faculty  at  Bennington.  Free-, 
dom  songs  filled  the  Commons 
Lounge  and  generous  girls  con- 
tributed to  the  Bennington  Civil 
Rights  Committee  Fund  Drive. 

A  tentative  engagement,  sched- 
uled for  tonight,  has  been  made 
for  Eusden  and  Davis  at  the  syn- 
agogue in  North  Adams.  Eusden 
will  al-so  give  the  sermon  at  the 
First  Congregational  Church  in 
Williamstown  on  Sunday.  The  e- 
vents  in  Birmingham  will  be  the 
subject  of  his  talk. 

Also  in  the  works  is  a  benefit 
folk  concert  to  be  held  in  an  as 
yet  undetermined  place  Sunday 
night.  The  admission  receipts  will 
be  given  to  the  Civil  Rights  Com- 
mittee Fund  Drive. 


Relation  Of  Intellectual  To  Society 
Argued  At  Kappa  Alpha  Symposium 


The  Williams  Chapel  Board 
will  collect  warm  winter  cloth- 
ing for  Algerian  refugees  be- 
ginning on  Wednesday,  March 
22.  Last  year's  drive  yielded 
over  500  lbs.  of  clothes  for  the 
American  Friends  Service  Com- 
mittee. 

Boxes  will  be  placed  in  dorm- 
itories, fraternities,  and  the 
Stetson  Library  for  students  or 
faculty  who  care  to  contribute. 
The  APSC  is  taking  care  of 
over  100,000  refugees  who  re- 
turned to  find  their  homes  des- 
troyed as  a  result  of  the  Al- 
gerian War. 


Phi    Bete    Elects 

"The  Intelligentsia  are  simply 
not  politically  concerned''  com- 
mented Steve  Stolzberg  '63  the 
out-going  apolitical  president  of 
Phi  Beta  Kappa  on  the  sparse  at- 
tendance at  their  elections  last 
night.  Elected  were  Archibald  Al- 
len '64,  president,  John  Wilson, 
vice-president,  and  William  Steele, 
secretary.  Steve  Stolzberg  was  cho- 
sen to  be  Phi  Bete  speaker  at 
commencennent.  The  meeting  was 
held  under  the  benign  aegis  of 
aging  parliamentarian  Alan  Sch- 
losser. 


The  problem  of  an  intellectual 
in  an  increasingly  complex  soc- 
iety was  discussed  by  four  faculty 
members  at  a  symposium  of  Tues- 
day at  Kappa  Alpha.  Participat- 
ing in  the  last  colloquium  of  the 
year  were  John  Chander,  chair- 
man of  the  Religion  Department, 
Orville  Murphy,  of  the  History 
Department,  Sami  Najm  of  t  h  e 
Philosophy  Department,  and  Rob- 
ert Gaudlno,  of  the  Political  Sci- 
ence Department. 

Najm  began  the  program  with 
a  comprehensive  talk  which  at- 
tempted to  define  an  intellectual 
in  terms  of  what  he  is  not  and 
what  he  should  be.  His  final  def- 
inition: "one  who  Is  factually  In- 
formed and  creatively  engaged  In 
reflective  evaluation  of  his  infor- 
mation in  order  to  apply  it  to 
society."    Mr.    Chandler's    discus- 


Council   Defeats 
Fine  Donation 

In  their  final  meeting  of  the 
year  last  night,  the  Freshman 
Council  voted  against  donating 
the  $300  fine  imposed  on  the  class 
after  last  week's  riot  to  the 
Northern  Student  Movement.  The 
council  said  that  the  fine  had 
been  collected  "under  the  supposi- 
tion that  the  money  would  go  to 
the  administration." 

The  Council  cited  "lack  of  un- 
animous class  support"  and  the 
legally  "controversial  nature"  as 
NSM  as  two  reasons  for  their  de- 
cision. The  Council  now  feels  that 
"It  is  up  to  the  administration  to 
do  with  the  money  as  it  sees  fit." 


sion  involved  the  religious  renais- 
sance and  its  application  to  the 
intellectual.  He  pictured  a  move 
away  from  liberalism  and  toward 
mystical  religion. 

Murphy  discussed  the  18th  cen- 
tury philosophers  and  held  them 
up  as  intellectuals  who  filled  their 
ideal  role  in  society.  The  vast 
work  they  attempted  was  to  create 
a  rational  rather  than  religious 
basis   for  moral  society. 

Gaudlno  concluded  the  talks  by 
defining  the  intellectual  as  one 
who  "fights  ideology"  and  at- 
tempts to  preserve  the  policy  as  a 
"regime  of  consent,  characterized 
by  conflict  of  opinions  about  pos- 
sible changes  within  its  struc- 
ture." The  chief  question  which 
arose  from  the  talks  was  the  rel- 
ative passivity  of  the  Intellectual's 
role. 


GYD  Is  Still  Here: 
Group  Plans  Tapping 

The  Greylock  Young  Dialecti- 
cians plan  to  hold  their  third  an- 
nual tapping  ceremony  tomorrow 
to  initiate  promising  young  radi- 
cals into  the  society.  The  group 
is,  of  course,  dedicated  to  the 
search  for  truth,  and  plans  to  ex- 
tend an  open  invitation  to  any 
group  on  campus  to  debate  any 
issue.  It  has  been  proposed  that 
there  be  a  debate  between  the 
members  and  the  administration 
on  the  virtues  of  a  Williams  ed- 
ucation. 

Outgoing  seniors  John  Kifner 
and  Charlie  Pratt,  as  well  as  pre- 
cocious Dave  Marash,  who  was 
tapped  last  year  as  a  sophomore, 
will  tap  Pete  Wiley,  Neil  Rappa- 
port  and  Bill  Barry  as  the  new 
members  in  a  ceremony  which 
will  be  held  either  in  Grundy's 
grease  pit,  the  traditional  site,  or 
at  the  Cascades. 


Giant  Cast  To  Be  In 
MusicalExtravaganza 
At  Thompson  Chapel 


Noyes  Fludde,  a  musical  adap- 
tation by  Benjamin  Britton  of  a 
medieval  morality  play,  is  being 
presented  in  the  Chapel  on  Sun- 
day at  4:30.  The  production  will 
involve  over  one-hundred  actors 
a  choir  of  twenty  and  a  fifteen- 
man  orchestra. 

Professor  Kenneth  Roberts  of 
the  Music  Department  is  directing 
the  show,  and  Professor  Philip 
Meeder  of  the  AMT  is  responsible 
for  the  staging.  Professor  Daniel 
O'Connor  of  the  Philosophy  De- 
partment and  Mrs.  Philip  Meeder 
are  singing  the  roles  of  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Noah,  and  Thomas  J.  Aber- 
nathy,  pastor  of  St.  James' 
Church,  has  been  cast  as  God. 

In  the  manner  of  medieval 
drama,  the  production  preserves  a 
real  human  quality  including  the 
drunkenness  of  Mrs.  Noah,  and 
the  84  member  animal  chonis 
made  up  of  students  from  the 
fourth  to  the  tenth  grades  of  Wil- 
liamstown  schools. 

Mrs.  Clarence  Chaffee,  who  Is 
serving  as  coordinator  of  the  mas- 
sive cast,  announced  that  the  pub- 
lic is  also  invited  to  a  full  dress 
rehearsal  which  will  take  place 
Saturday  at  4:30. 


New  Units  Get  Chei,  Taxes,  Faculty 


Verne  Anderson,  presently  the  chef  at  Phi  Sig- 
ma Kappa,  has  been  named  chef  at  the  new  Berk- 
shire House  -  New  Dorm  &  Dining  Hall,  according 
to  Sydney  Chlsholm,  Director  of  Dining  Halls.  Ac- 
cording to  the  announcement,  the  members  of  Phi 
Sigma  Kappa  had  endorsed  Anderson's  appoint- 
ment unanimously.  Anderson  has  been  employed  at 
the  fraternity  since  1955.  Prior  to  that  time,  he  was 
head  chef  at  the  Garfield  Club. 

Faculty  Associates  Selected 

In  other  recent  developments  on  the  residential 
house  scene,  both  houses  have  endorsed  faculty 
members  to  be  faculty  associates.  These  new  posi- 
tions are  roughly  analogous  to  the  present  faculty 
advisors.  Berkshire  House  recommended  Assistant 
Professor  of  Political  Science  Robert  Gaudlno,  Pro- 
fessor of  Physics  David  Park,  Professor  of  Ek;- 
onomlcs  William  P.  Gates,  and  Professor  of  Art 
William  H.  Pierson.  Professor  Gaudlno  was  sug- 
gested as  chairman  of  the  associates. 

Members  of  the  New  Dorm  selected  Professor  of 
Philosophy  Nathaniel  M.  Lawrence  as  chairman 
of  a  group  consisting  of  Instructor  of  Music  Ken- 
neth Roberts,  Assistant  Professor  of  Political  Sci- 


ence Warren  Ilchman,  Nicholas  Persen,  Instructor 
in  Russian.  Associate  Professor  of  Mathematics 
Henry  W.  Oliver  and  Instructor  in  English  Paul 
Himter. 

Budgets  Passed 

At  the  same  meetings,  members  of  the  new 
houses  voted  on  the  proposed  budgets.  The  New 
Dorm  budget  passed  with  no  dissenting  votes  and 
only  one  comment,  asking  If  the  sum  allotted  for 
snacks  was  large  enough.  With  this  one  delay, 
the  budget  passed  in  record  time.  Under  the  con- 
ditions of  the  vote,  each  house  member  will  pay 
$35  per  semester. 

Berkshire  House  saw  more  conflict,  however, 
as  various  members  questioned  the  apportionment 
of  the  allotments.  President  Dave  Applebaum  '64 
explained  that  the  divisions  between  social  and  cul- 
tural allotments  were  extremely  flexible,  and  the 
proposed  amount  was  passed  without  a  great  deal 
Df  further  comment.  The  $35  fee  per  person  per 
semester  will  hold  true  In  Berkshire  as  well  as  in 
the  New  Dorm. 

The  combined  total  will  be  approximately  $10,500.

Editorial 

So  Long  For  A  While 

With  one  last  clearing  of  the  editorial  throat  and  one  final 
stab,  as  it  were,  of  the  editorial  pen,  we  heein  to  clear  our  clut- 
tered desk  before  de|3artiiijf  for  a  summer  of  idle  sport  and  dal- 
liance. But  bt^fori"  we  go,  there  are  several  matters  which  demand 
at  least  passing  attention. 

The  recent  faculty  meeting  discussed  a  mammoth  plan  for 
curricular  and  calendar  revisions,  some  of  which  seem  quite  prom- 
ising, others  of  which  disturb  us,  and  all  of  which  we  must  neces- 
sarily treat  in  an  abbreviated  fashion  in  this  issue.  The  key  phrasf 
in  the  report  seems  to  be  "economy  of  faculty  time,"  which  means 
a  reduction  in  the  hours  of  contact  between  students  and  faculty 
to  about  half  of  what  it  is  now,  through  an  increase  in  lecture 
hours,  at  one  end  of  the  academic  spectrum,  and  independent 
study  at  tlie  other. 

Although  we  realize  the  importance  of  faculty  time,  it  would 
be  too  bad  to  disrupt  the  whole  ideal  of  the  small  college,  for 
these;  plans  seem  to  be  moving  Williams  closer  to  being  a  univer- 
sity. Perhaps  some  courses  can  be  better  carried  out  through  the 
lecture-conference  method,  but  it  may  be  a  dangerous  precedent, 
coming  as  it  does  with  recommendations  for  more  lecture  courses 
in  certain  areas  for  non-majors.  Tlie  important  question  seems  to 
be  whether  the  time  for  increased  faculty  researcn  will  come  from 
the  students. 

The  encouraging  thhig  about  the  report  is  the  emphasis  on 
independent  study  by  the  students,  but  one  section  seems  to  nm 
c|uite  contrary  to  all  ideas  of  letting  the  students  out  on  their 
own.  "The  examination  at  the  end  of  the  term  should  assure  great- 
er importance,"  the  report  states,  offering  the  suggestion  that  all 
exams  should  be  three  hours  in  length.  At  this  point,  this  seems 
to  be  sheer  madness,  and  we  doubt  if  our  opinion  will  change 
much  during  the  next  three  weeks.  Exams  of  this  sort  are  a  def- 
inite deterrent  to  independent  work,  which  should  culminate  in 
a  paper,  not  imder  the  pressure  of  an  examination  period.  Exams 
in  general  are  a  false  environment  for  the  functioning  of  the  in- 
tellect, a  fact  reflected  in  the  policy  of  not  giving  exams  in  hon- 
ors seminars.  Hopefully,  the  day  will  come  when  the  College 
decides  not  to  give  exams  at  all;  in  fact,  why  don't  they  start  this 
year? 

It  is  a  good  thing  for  the  faculty  to  attempt  to  improve  the 
academic  atmosphere,  but  we  hope  tliey  don't  plan  to  do  it  by 
making  Williams  a  university.  All  considerations  which  involve 
a  decrease  of  classes  taught  should  receive  extensive  consideration 
from  the  faculty,  and  will  certainly  warrant  a  more  thorough  heat- 
ment  from  THE  RECORD  next  fall  when  specific  issues  come 
up  for  a  vote. 

Finally,  to  return  once  again  to  the  ramifications  of  the  fresh- 
man riot,  we  think  it  regi-ettable  that  the  Freshman  Council  voted 
against  donating  the  fine  to  NSM,  for  the  students  consider  the 
group  to  lie  "legally  controversial,"  a  statement  which  shows  an 
utter  lack  of  understanding  in  the  organization.  NSM  is  not  a 
demonstration  movement  in  the  South,  but  rather  an  educational 
one  in  the  North,  which  sjionsors  tutorial  projects  in  many  nor- 
tliern  cities.  If  education  is  legally  controversial,  then  let  the 
freshmen,  in  the  ignorance,  beware  the  HUAC,  as  well  as  their 
professors.

"It  Williams  is  to  maintain  its 
present  high  standing,  let  alone 
improve,  It  must  continue  to  move 
ahead  at  a  rapid  rate.''  It  is  in 
this  frame  of  mind  that  Benjamin 
W.  Labaree  will  come  to  Williams 
in  the  Fall  as  Dean  of  the  Col- 
lege. 

To  hhn.  Williams  represents 
"the  last  battleground  for  tlu 
preservation  of  the  liberal  arts," 
a  place  where  fine  teaching  is 
most  possible.  Precisely  because  it 
has  so  much  to  offer,  he  feels, 
this  institution  is  particularly  sus- 
ceptible to  obsolescence. 

Thus  constant  and  significant 
revisions  and  additions  are  vital. 

Moving  ahead,  of  course,  can 
mean  many  things.  In  two  very 
important  areas,  it  seems  to  Lab- 
aree, it  means  forging  a  single, 
multi-faceted  community  where 
there  has  existed  a  highly  frac- 
tionalized  complex;  and  it  means 
brealcing  with  the  rigid  pattern 
the  Williams  education  has  come 
to  be. 

Fraternity  Situation 

His  father,  distinguished  his- 
torian Leonard  W.  Labaree  '19, 
was  a  Psi  U  and  his  brother-in- 
law  a  Chi  Psi  of  more  recent  vin- 
tage. But  Labaree  himself  has 
never  had  direct  contact  with  a 
fraternity-oriented  campus. 

Citing  the  overwhelming  sup- 
port the  Angevlne  Report  and  its 
implications  have  received  in  ed- 
ucational circles,  he  has  no  doubt 
the  transition  will  open  new  op- 
portunities for  creative  under- 
graduate life  -  academic,  social 
and  personal. 

In  recognition  of  the  difficul- 
ties yet  to  be  overcome  in  the 
transitional  period,  Labaree  hopes 
to  be  able  to  serve  a  useful  role 
in  terms  of  communication  be- 
tween administration  and  stu- 
dents. The  more  carefully  and 
thoroughly  the  new  system  is 
planned  at  the  outset,  he  feels, 
the  more  advantageous  it  will 
prove  later. 

Rigid  Curriculum 

The  five-course  schedule  has 
been  called  seriously  into  ques- 
tion at  a  number  of  institutions, 
he  points  out.  "The  general  trend 
is  toward  fewer  courses,"  with 
more  time  for  independent  study 
by  imdergraduates  and  for  re- 
search and  writing  by  faculty. 

Although  he  is  committed  to  no 
particular  plan  of  curricular  re- 
form at  Williams,  the  basic  idea  of 
an  intersesslon  appeals  to  him  as 
one  more  manifestation  of  in- 
creasing flexibility. 

The  fusion  of  the  curricular  and 
extra-curricular  facets  of  the  Wil- 
liams education  is  yet  another 
way  in  which  the  College  can  get 
away  from  its  rigid  patterns.  It 
seems  obvious  to  Labaree  that  to- 
tal education  must  include  both 
thought  and  action  -  the  very 
meaning  of  the  liberal  arts. 

Drop-Out  Policy 

"While  four  consecutive  years 
have  proven  a  successful  academic 
scheme  for  most  undergraduates,"

Letter  To  The  Editor 

Griffith  Corrects 
Civil  Rights  Vote 

Dear  Sirs: 

I  was  highly  disturbed  to  read 
an  article  in  the  Record  announc- 
ing unanimous  support  of  the  ac- 
tion of  Chaplain  Eusden  and  J.  H. 
K.  Davis  by  the  newly  elected 
Gargoyle.  This  is  simply  not  time; 
we  did  endorse  the  action,  but  the 
support  was  not  unanimous.  I 
write  this  letter  because  I  voted 
against  this  action  and  I  do  not 
like  my  name  to  be  used  in  sup- 
port of  a  cause  I  appose.  And, 
much  as  I  resF>ect  and  admire  Mr. 
EXrsden's  courageous  action  as  a 
man  acting  on  his  principles,  I 
mo.st  decidedly  do  not  support 
those  principles.  I  think  a  few 
words  of  explanation  are  in  order. 

I  feel  it  is  time  for  someone  of 
my  persuasion  to  speak  against 
the  general  furor  presently  exist- 
ing in  the  Williams  Civil  Rights 
Committee,  and  Its  affiliated 
groups.  X  am  as  much  of  an  in- 
tegratlonist    as    any    member    of

Labaree  believes,  "it  is  by  no 
means  best  for  all."  Liberalisation 
of  drop-out  policy  Is  another  area 
in  which  the  College's  patterns 
can  be  altered. 

What  must  accompany  this 
change,  he  is  quick  to  add,  is  a 
more  liljeral  policy  on  returns,  in 
terms  both  of  those  who  leave  vol- 
untarily and  those  who  are  asked 
to  for  academic  or  disciplinary 
reasons. 

The  history  is  long  indeed  of 
those  who  take  a  year  or  more 
off,  he  continues,  and  return  with 
constructive  experience  to  be 
brought  to  bear  on  their  under- 
graduate existence.  Frequently, 
students  who  temporarily  feel  the 
academic  life  is  sterile,  who  are 
beset  by  personal  problems,  who 
feel  conflicting  passions,  who  do 
not  know  where  they  are  going, 
can  do  nothing  better  than  leave 
college  for  the  time  being,  per- 
haps even  for  good. 


The  Dual  Deanship 

Labaree  asserts  in  no  uncertain 
terms  that  he  is  both  teacher  and 
administrator.  He  would  not  think 
of  giving  up  the  actual  classroom 
participation  with  students  that  is 
to  him  his  most  Important  func- 
tion. 

Etoubtless,  however,  the  ma- 
jority of  his  time  will  be  consum- 
ed by  the  deanship,  that  peculiar 
combination  of  personal  and  pro- 
fessional roles  he  will  attempt  suc- 
cessfully to  balance. 

His  experience  as  Burr  senior 
tutor  at  Harvard's  Winthrop 
House  has  prepared  him  ably  to 
assume  the  deanship  here.  There, 
however,  he  was  dean-in-resi- 
dence  to  fewer  than  400  students 
Here,  he  will  be  dean  to  some  1200 
students  living  apart  from  him. 
He  forsees  no  major  problem.s  in 
adjusting  to  these  qualitative  and 
quantitative  differences. 

Conversation  Aplenty 

In  an  effort  to  get  to  know  tlu' 
students  as  soon  as  possible,  and 
because  he  so  much  enjoys  people 
and  conversation,  Labaree  intends 
bo  meet  with  them  frequently  and 
to  maintain  constant  contact  be- 
tween Hopkins  Hall  and  the  rest 
of  the  College. 

Less  formally,  he  hopes  to  have 
groups  of  students  into  his  home 
from  time  to  time  to  discuss  par- 
ticular Issues  or  simply  to  talk  a- 
way  an  evening. 

He  will  be  readily  available  to 
students  in  need  of  administrative 
advice,  decisions,  and-or  dispcn 
sations.  But  not  24  hours  a  day. 
For  he  will  reserve  a  regular  per- 
iod of  time  for  his  own  academic 
pursuits  and  perhaps  a  less  regu- 
lar period  for  his  family.

that  committee,  but  I  fear  that 
this  whole  division  of  the  civil 
rights  movement  has,  from  sheer 
fervor  of  belief,  slipped  Into  ac- 
tion In  areas  where  that  action 
means  supresslon,  rather  than  ex- 
tension, of  civil  rights.  Even  a 
cursory  glance  at  the  demands  of 
the  Negro  leaders  in  the  Birming- 
ham fracas  makes  this  conclusion 


inevitable. 

I  support  wholeheartedly  the 
movement  to  Integrate  schools, 
water  fountains,  public  rest 
rooms;  in  short,  anything  public 
supported.  Public  support  should 
mean  public  service.  But  when  a 
movement  attempts  to  legislate  a- 
galnst  discrimination  by  private 
employers,  private  lunch-counter 
owners,  or  any  other  individuals, 
they  are  diminishing  total  civil 
rights.  For  a  man  has  a  right  to 


ext<'nd  or  icfu.sc  .sorvicc  or  em- 
ployment to  whomever  he  wishes, 
but  I  discern  no  right  of  a  man 
to  partake  of  any  particular  pri- 
vately-offered service  he  wishes.  I 
may,  and  do,  morally  condemn 
and  refuse  to  buy  .services  from 
a  person  who  discriminates  In 
such  a  way.  But  I  have  no  right- 
ful power  to  force  him  to  cease, 
thereby  removing  his  civil  rights. 
What  good  will  It  do  the  Negro 
to  achieve  civil  rights  if  in  doing 


.so,  the  potency  and  very  mean- 
ing of  the  concept  have  become 
perverted  and  essentially  mean- 
ingless? 

When  the  civil  rights  movement 
takes  Its  ideals  seriously  and  be- 
gins worrying  about  integration 
as  a  means  to  civil  rights  and 
the  dignity  of  man,  and  less  a-

concept,  then  I  will  take  the

'63  Fall  Convocation 
To  Relate  Education, 
Campus  Architecture 

"Architecture  and  Education" 
will  be  the  theme  of  the  Pall  Con- 
vocation planned  for  the  weekend 
of  September  21-22  at  Williams 
College. 

A  panel  is  planned  for  that  Sat- 
urday, and  a  formal  convocation 
will  be  held  on  Sunday.  Guests 
will  include  some  distinguished 
men  in  the  fields  of  architecture 
and  education  who  will  focus  their 
attention  on  the  relation  of  phy- 
sical plant,  campus  planning,  and 
the  design  of  educational  facili- 
ties to  the  educational  program 
of  an  institution.  While  Williams 
is  engaged  in  .such  a  study  of  Its 
own  campus,  the  discussion  wlU 
be  broadened  to  include  consider- 
ation of  these  questions  at  anv 
level  of  education. 

The  program  follows  a  recent 
(Custom  of  opening  the  academic 
year  with  a  procession  and  a  con- 
vocation centered  around  a  theme 
of  particular  interest  to  the  Col- 
lege. Last  fall,  the  theme  con- 
cerned "Public  Opinion  and  Lead- 
ership'' and  was  related  to  the 
dedication  of  an  addition  to  the 
Roper  Public  Opinion  Research 
Center.

Amherst  Stuns  Eph  Linksmen,  6-1 ; 
Baxter  Retires  At  214-112  Mark 


By  P.  Gurgle  Kritzer 

The  Varsity  golf  team's  five- 
year  reign  as  Little  Three  cham- 
pion was  ended  Wednesday  after- 
noon on  tlie  Taconlc  course  as 
the  Ephmen  finished  second  be- 
hind a  surprising  Amherst  team. 
The  match  also  marked  the  end  of 
Coach  Dick  Baxter's  40  years  at 
Williams,  in  which  time  Williams 
has  won  almost  every  Little  Three 
title  In  addition  to  four  New  Eng- 
land crowns. 

John  Poehl  was  the  only  Eph 
to  score  a  double  victoi^y  as  the 
team  lost  to  the  Jeff.s  6-1  while 
dumping  Wesleyan  by  the  same 
score.  Tom  Kiug  lost  one-up  on 
the  19th  hole  to  his  Amherst  op- 
ponent, but  this  was  the  only  oth- 
er close  match  the  Ephs  put  up 
against  the  Jeffs. 

Led  by  double  victories  by  IMike 


Burrows,  Jon  Linen  and  Bob 
Johnson,  the  freshmen  golf  team 
also  took  second  place  in  Wednes- 
day's Llt^tle  Three  competition,  de- 
feating Amherst  5-2  but  narrowly 
losing  to  Wesleyan  4-3. 

Linen  and  Johnson  both  closed 
out  their  matches  on  the  16th 
hole  with  3-1  scores  over  Wesleyan 
and  3-2  and  3-1  victories  over 
Amlierst,  respectively. 

Burrows  defeated  Amherst  on 
the  15th  hole,  4-3,  but  was  ex- 
tended to  the  19th  .before  beating 
Wesleyan  one-Up.  Bob  Cunning- 
ham and  Jim  Anderson  also  scor- 
ed for  the  Ephlets  with  one-U3 
and  7-6  wins  over  their  Amherst 
opponents. 

The  linksmen  finished  the  sea- 
son with  a  11-2  record,  third  in 
the  New  Englands,  thus  giving 
Coach  Baxter  an  overall  274-112 
mark.

Eph  Nine  Splits  With  Cards,  Jeffs; 
Donovan,  Wagner   Spark   Victory 

by  Steve  Robiiison 
The  baseball  team  wound  up  Little  Three  competition   by  splitting  games   against   Wesleyan 
and  Ainhenst  Monday  and  Wedne.sday.  The  Cardinals,  who  had  beaten  the  Ephs  earlier  by  5-2, 
came  to  Weston  Field  with  title  hopes  in  mind,  only  to  be  the  Ephs'  second  victim  of  the  season, 
3-2. 

They  started  Terry  Burks,  the 
pitcher  who  won  that  earlier 
game  for  Wesleyan  with  a  seven- 
hitter.  The  E^phs,  however,  capi- 
talized on  walks  in  the  early  inn- 
ings to  take  the  lead,  and  John 
Donovan  pitched  his  strongest 
game  since  the  season  began  to 
hold  Wesleyan  scoreless  from  the 
second  inning  on. 

Double  Play  Fails 

Harry  Lum,  second  batter  in 
the  bottom  of  the  first,  drew  a 
pass  and  ran  to  third  on  Wag- 
ner's single.  George  Mayer  hit  a 
hot  shot  to  the  shortstop  who 
forced  Wagner  at  second.  The  sec- 
ond baseman's  relay  to  first  was 
wild,  however,  and  Lum's  run 
counted. 

Donovan  Issued  a  pass  to  Paul 
Brands  leading  off  the  second  and 
Roy  Paziendiero  pushed  him  to 
second  with  a  bunt.  Ted  Manos 
brought  Brands  home  with  a  sin- 
gle, and  Burks  followed  with  a 
hit  to  place  runners  at  first  and 
second.  After  the  next  batter  skied 
to  Steve  Hyde  in  left,  Donovan 
worked  a  2-2  count  on  Lou  D' 
Ambrosio. 

He  then  put  one  down  the  pipe, 
which  D'Ambrosio  took.  Catcher 
Lum,  assuming  the  pitch  was  a 
strike,  rolled  the  ball  to  the 
-mound,  but  the  umpire  disagreed 
on  the  call.  Manos  on  second  tore 
for  third  base,  Donovan  picked  up 
the  ball  and  threw  it  into  left 
field,  and  Manos  scored  with  ease 
on  the  error.

In  the  third,  the  Ephs  went  to 
work  getting  it  back.  Berry  took 
still  another  base  on  balls  and 
Lum  doubled  him  to  third  base. 
Wagner's  second  hit  of  the  day,  a 
broken-bat  Texas  Leaguer  into 
deep  shortstop,  scored  t)oth  run- 
ners. Both  Burke  and  Donovan 
were  invincible  from  then  on. 

Ben  Wagner's  two  singles  led 
the  Ephs  in  the  hit  department 
(they  got  only  five),  and  no  Wes- 
leyan batter  was  able  to  hit  safe- 
ly more  than  once. 

MilhoUand  Starter 

Amherst  arrived  on  Wednesday 
with  apprehension.  They  had 
beaten  Williams  before,  but  lost 
to  Wesleyan.  Now  the  Ephs  had 
shown  signs  of  strength.  Ernie 
Lanning   started   for    Amherst  a- 


gainst  John  MilhoUand,  who  had 
pitched  a  tremendous  game  a- 
gainst  UMass,  only  to  lose  it  in 
the  ninth. 

For  seven  innings,  the  hurling 
was  superb.  Amherst  had  scored 
once  (in  tlie  first)  on  a  walk, 
single,  and  fielder's  choice,  and 
the  Ephs  tied  it  in  the  fifth  via 
an  error,  infield  single,  mis.sod 
fielder's  choice  on  an  attempted 
sacrifice  by  pitcher  MilhoUand, 
and  Berry's  sacrifice   fly. 

Terry  Oliver,  batting  ninth,  led 
off  the  eighth  with  a  triple  on 
which  Hyde  got  a  slow  start.  Mil- 
hoUand, seeming  to  tire,  walked 
Ken  Garni  on  four  pitches,  and 
right  fielder  North  lined  a  shot 
into  center,  which  was  all  the 
Jeffs  needed. 


Frosh  Baseball  Team  Beats  Cards 
To  Win  Little  Three  Championship 


The  freshman  baseball  team 
went  1-1  in  Little  Three  compe- 
tition this  week,  beating  Wesley- 
an 4-1  Monday  and  losing  10-3 
to  Amherst  Wednesday. 

Boosted  by  the  fine  pitching  of 
Bobby  Wallace  and  the  batwork 
of  Pete  Ross,  Jimmy  Straub,  and 
John  Nesvig,  Coach  Frank  Navar- 
ro's frosh  captured  the  Little 
Three  championship  in  defeating 
Wesleyan  for  the  second  time  this 
season.  Wallace  went  all  the  way 
for  Williams,  turning  in  an  im- 
pressive three-hit  performance, 
holding  Wesleyan  hitless  for  the 
first  four-  and  two-thirds  innings. 

Wesleyan  scored  its  sole  run  in 
the  fifth  frame,  capitalizing  on  an

relay  from  Bill  Avner  to  Hersch 
Weaver  to  catcher  Bob  Christian- 
sen cut  off  the  second  run  at 
the  plate. 

Williams  scored  once  in  the 
third,  once  in  the  fourth  and 
twice  in  the  fifth  on  a  total  of 
ten  hits.  Right  fielder  Ross  led 
the  hitters  with  three  for  four, 
while  Straub  and  Nesvig  added 
two  singles  apiece. 

The  only  bright  spot  for  the 
freshmen  in  the  loss  to  Amherst 
was  the  hitting  of  Ross.  He  again 
went  three  for  tour,  registering  a 
.750  two-game  batting  average. 

Before  the  game,  Bob  Christian- 
sen was  elected  season  captain.

Of  Responsibility 


Speaker    Norstad  : 
"Boy    Wonder" 

General  Lauris  Norslad,  former 
commander-in-chief  of  NATO 
forces  in  Europe  delivered  the  key- 
note address  at  Graduation  cere- 
monies today. 

Norstad,  who  has  been  called  a 
"philosopher  in  uniform,"  and 
the  "Boy  Wonder,"  typifies  a  new 
generation  of  soldier-statesmen- 
diplomats,  who  deal  with  prob- 
lems whose  essence  is  diplomacy 
and  public  i-elations.  He  is  noted 
for  his  fight  for  a  sufficient  shield 
of  conventional  arms  to  avoid  in- 
flexible, dangerous  reliance  on 
nuclear  forces  only. 

Eisenhower  hand-picked  Nor- 
stad for  the  difficult  NATO  com- 
mand, commenting  "He  is  one  of 
those  rare  men  whose  capacity 
knows  no  limit.''

Members  of  the  Graduating  Class 
of   1963: 

You  have  come  a  long  way.  For 
the  achievements  represented  by 
your  presence  here  this  morning 
you  desei-ve  recognition  -  and 
your  families,  too  -  for  much  that 
has  been  accomplished  since  you 
arrived  here  in  the  fall  of  1959. 
By  tradition,  however,  words  of 
praise  or  prophesy  are  reserved  for 
the  graduation  ceremony  this  af- 
ternoon. The  present  hour  re- 
mains one  of  counsel  and  reflec- 
tion, as  Professor  Bushnell  has 
indicated. 

A  year  ago  on  this  occasion  I 
told  the  senior  class  which  pre- 
ceded you  of  a  change  that  would 
be  made  in  the  graduation  cere- 
mony whereby,  in  place  of  a 
phrase  "admitting  you  to  the  fel- 
lowship of  educated  men,"  upon 
receipt  of  your  degree,  we  would 
"welcome  you  to  its  privileges  and 
remind  you  of  its  responsibilities." 

The  logic  of  this  change  needs 
little  explanation.  If  education 
means  anything  it  points  toward 
an  enlargement  of  the  base  of  hu- 
man understanding:  not  an  ar- 
rival, but  a  beginning,  an  increase 
in  the  range  of  a  man's  receptivity 
to  a  widening  arc  of  knowledge 
and  experience. 

The  meaning  of  responsibility 
in  this  context  may  be  less  clear 
because  it  embraces  many  levels 
of  being  and  action.  It  includes 
responsibility  to  use  the  educa- 
tion you  have  gained  to  perceive, 
to  judge,  and  to  act  discerningly 
regarding  both  ends  and  means; 
to  sift  what  is  durable  and  sig- 
nificant from  the  transient  stream 
that  threatens  to  engulf  us  all; 
to  apply  your  talents  as  far  as 
life  permits  to  things  that  really 
matter. 

As  a  way  of  doing  this  I  offer 
only  two  bits  of  counsel:  one  is 
to  define  early  some  of  the  values 
you  mean  to  live  by  and  want  to 
serve,  and  to  do  so  consciously  be- 
fore the  spin  of  life  closes  in  upon 
you.  This  Is  a  very  private  task. 
Your  education  here  should  have 
contributed  to  it  and  I  hope  you 
will  not  be  afraid  to  recognize  and 
to  reaffirm  some  of  the  ancient 
virtues  that  the  modem  world 
still  badly  needs.  The  second  sug- 
gestion is  to  take  hold  early  of  at 
least  one  undertaking  or  goal  that

Bushnell  Gives  Grads 

Wisdom  Of  Elders : 

Find  Own  Faith 

This  is  the  last  occasion  on 
which  members  of  this  senior  class 
will  be  preached  at  -  or,  to  be 
more  accurate,  the  last  on  which 
they  are  under  some  obligation  to 
listen.  This  afternoon,  their  rep- 
resentatives will  address  the  rest 
of  us,  and  thereafter  they  will  be 
crowned  bachelors  of  arts  and 
vested  with  all  the  rights  and 
privileges,  and  the  responsibilities, 
preliminary  to  leadership.  But 
hitherto,  they  have  had  to  listen 
to  the   wisdom  of  the  elders. 

Perhaps  we  have  demanded  of 
them  an  imdue  deference  to  the 
wisdom  of  the  elders.  Perhaps,  in 
spite  of  some  explosive  evidence  to 
the  contrary,  they  themselves  have 
hesitated  to  find  and  assert  their 
own  answers.  An  increasing  read- 
iness to  assume  that  one  must 
have  a  college  degree  to  succeed, 
and  a  graduate  degree  to  succeed 
faster  and  farther,  indicates  an 
increasing  unreadiness  to  take  the 
plunge  into  independence.  In  this 
century  at  least,  while  our  young 
people  are  getting  married  earlier 
and  earlier,  they  are  prolonging 
their  student  days  later  and  later. 

This  senior  class  has  doubtless 
been  told  that  graduation  is  not 
the  ending  of  education,  that  the 
learning  process  must  continue 
throughout  life.  This  is  a  typical 
example  of  the  wisdom  of  the  eld- 
ers, which  is  downright  dangerous 
unless  qualified  by  the  reminder 
that  from  here  on,  the  curriculum 
is  one  of  on-the-job-training,  and 
for  courses  in  that  curriculum  the 
pre-requisite  is  the  job  itself,  the 
Job  of  living  adult,  independent 
lives.  Well  doing  of  that  job  comes 
first,  and  then  as  its  byproduct 
the  learning  to  do  It  even  better. 

The  wisdom  of  the  elders  suf- 
fers from  built-in  obsolescence.  AlS 
we  grow  older,  we  invest  more  and 
more  of  our  resources  in  that  set 
of  principles  and  in  that  way  of 
life  which  we  have  individually 
adopted,  until  we  dare  not  admit 
to  question  the  real  market  value 
of  the  securities  in  which  we  have 
simk  our  all.  As  creative  vitality 
dwindles,  the  line  of  least  re- 
sistance coincides  with  the  easy 
acceptance  of  established  atti- 
tudes. We  lose  the  power  of  ab- 
sorbhig  and  retaining  new  data  - 
ask  the  man  who  tries  to  learn  a 
foreign    language    after    he    had

explore  and  to  act. 

When  our  college  memories  have  faded  to  a  set  of  alumni 
anecdotes,  oiir  very  existence  will  show  the  kind  of  stamp  Wil-

our  classroom  and  individual  relationsliips,  we  have  been  pre- 
pared for  sonietliing  more  tiian  a  cocktail  jjarty.

Class  of  1937 
Dean  of  Washington  Cathedral 

Doctor  of  Divinity 

Born  in  the  White  House  during 
the  administration  of  your  grandfath- 
er, son  of  an  illustrious  alumnus 
whom  Williams  has  earlier  honored, 
your  own  distinguished  career  in 
the  service  of  your  church  witnesses 
the  relevance  of  an  ancient  faith  to 
the  stresses  of  modern  civilization.  Fol- 
lowing schooling  at  Williams,  Union 
Theolog^ical  ficminanj,  and  Episcopal 
Theological  School,  ordination  in  1940 
and  service  as  Navy  Chaplain  in  the 
Pacific,  you  pioneered  in  the  field  of 
itulmtrial  chaplaincies  in  Ohio,  relat- 
ing the  church  to  the  needs  of  urban 
luorkcrs.  Elected  in  1951  as  Dean  of 
Wasliington  Cathedral,  you  have  since 
directed  the  building  of  a  great  cath- 
edral arul  assumed  responsibilities  for

One  of  the 
seven  golden  keys 
to  brewing 

Budweiser. 


NATURAL  CARBONATION 

Budweiser  is  naturally  carbonated  by  a  costly  second  fermen- 
tation called  "krausening"  (adding  a  portion  of  beer  from  the 
first  fermentation  instead  of  pumping  carbon  dioxide  gas  back 
into  it).  One  more  of  the  seven  special  things  we  do  to  make 
your  enjoyment  of  Budweiser  even  greater!

passed  the  age  of  twenty-five. 
And  the  most  precious,  the  most 
humane  of  our  powers  -  intuition, 
imagination,  spirit,  call  it  what 
you  will  -  the  power  by  which  the 
well-conditioned  mind  leaps  to  a 
new  Insight  -  that  power  becomes 
shackled  by  worldly  habit  and  en- 
eiTated  by  self-indulgence.  It 
can  no  longer  leap;  it  creeps  -  or 
just  sits.  Perhaps  one  of  the  chief 
justifications  for  the  monastic  or 
the  ivory-tower  life  -  for  with- 
di'awal  from  worldly  concerns  into 
religious  or  artistic  activity  -  is 
that  such  a  life  preserves  the  pow- 
er of  the  leap,  so  that  even  the 
old  men  shall  see  visions  and 
dream  dreams,  old  men  like  Isaiah 
and  Milton. 

Isaiahs  and  Miltons,  unfortun- 
ately, are  scarce  as  dragon's  teeth, 
and  the  wisdom  of  the  run-of-the- 
mine  elders  is  tragically  fallible. 
But  like  the  battered  dime,  worn 
smooth  by  many  purchases,  it  is 
not  necessarily  counterfeit;  it 
may  still  pass  current  -  to  the 
extent  of  a  dime's  worth.  For  it 
does  provide  a  key  to  the  store- 
house of  past  experience,  and  a- 
mong  the  miscellaneous  bundles  of 
information  in  that  storehouse  are 
some  that  shed  light  on  three 
matters  of  interest  on  the  present 
occasion.  What  do  today's  gradu- 
ates want  from  life?  What  are 
they  likely  in  fact  to  get?  And 
how  can  they  best  cope  with  it 
when  they  get  it? 

The  past  experience  of  our  race 
(interpreted  without  cynicism,  but 
realistically)  indicates  that  a  man 
entering  upon  adult,  Independent 
life  (that  Is,  a  typical  member  of 
1963)  wants  an  emotionally  grat- 
ifying marriage  and  family,  mon- 
ey, (enough  for  security  and  com- 
fort, with  a  little  over-plus),  an 
interesting  Job,  and  a  place  of 
honor  and  power  In  society.  These 
four  -  marriage,  money,  job,  and 
status  -  are  prime  concerns.  For 
the  ultimate  end  of  happiness, 
these  four  are,  in  the  light  of  their 
past  performance,  generally  ac- 
cepted as  the  means.  The  great 
majority  of  us  in  this  building 
(including  the  speaker)  and  In 
the  wo-ld  outside  subscribes  at 
heart  to  this  set  of  values. 
Though  they  may  be  depre- 
cated in  the  Jewlsh-Chrlstlan  tra- 
dition, they  have  been  central  in

career  begun  during!,  a  summer  job 
while  at  Williams,  you  have  as  I'res- 
ident  of  one  of  the  ranking  iiuvur-

Icnly  of  yourself  to  hospitals,  musical,

as  the  Tliirty-fiftli  President  of  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  of  the  United

energy  and  a  capacity  to  articulate 
the  ohiectives  of  business  in  rin  ex- 
panding economy  at  home  and  a 
creative  program  of  foreign  aid  a- 
broad,  especially  for  underdeveloped 
iwtions.  You  have  further  restated  a 
premise  of  American  education  and 
promi.se  of  American  life  in  empha.siz- 
ing  that,  "Our  very  democracy  rests 
on  the  assumption  that  the  average 
citizen  lias  the  capacity  to  aiuilijzc  so- 
cial, economic  and  political  issues." 

classical  and  eastern  cultures. 
Even  the  religious  inspiration  of 
India,  mounting  to  such  spiritual 
peaks  as  the  Bhagavad-Gita  and 
the  Upanishads,  conceived  of  two 
of  the  four  goals  of  human  life 
in  comparable  terms:  worldly 
prosperity,  and  bodily  enjoyment. 

Other  wishes  our  typical  senior 
would  acknowledge  -  if  pressed  to 
self-examination  -  p  r  o  b  a  b  1  y  in- 
clude life  and  health  (assumed  as 
a  matter  of  course,  with  fingers 
crossed  against  the  bomb);  a 
world  free  and  peaceful  (it  would 
be  a  pleasant  world  to  live  in); 
inner  serenity,  and  communion 
with  god  (whatever  that  may  bci. 
But  there  aren't  many  hours 
available  for  tough-minded 
thought  about  such  things  now. 

Thus  the  student  of  the  past 
identifies  the  hopes  of  1963.  What 
of  the  expectations?  To  what  ex- 
tent are  these  wishes  likely  to  be 
gratified?  A  fairly  precise  forecast 
can  be  made,  based  on  data  from 
experience.  Tables  issued  by  the 
Department  of  Health,  Education, 
and  Welfare,  indicate  that  the 
typical  member  of  the  class  of 
1963  win  sui-vive  to  the  age  of 
70.  This  would  bring  him  safely 
past  the  nornial  retirement  age  of 
65,  which  is  a  convenient  deadline 
for  balancing  accounts.  The  his- 
tory of  that  Williams  class  whose 
members  now  average  65  years  in 
age  provides  a  kind  of  commen- 
tary on  the  best-laid  wishes  of 
men. 

Making  allowances  for  degrees 
delayed  by  military  service,  we 
find  that  by  an  odd  and  conven- 
ient coincidence  almost  exactly 
100  bachelors  of  arts  were  grad- 
uated In  that  class.  All  of  them 
had  had  their  college  careers  af- 
fected or  Interrupted  by  one  world 
war,  the  majority  lived  through  a 
second  longer  and  more  critical 
world  war,  and  the  sui-vlvors  arc 
now  attaining  the  age  of  retire- 
ment In  a  period  of  peace  almost 
too  fragile  to  bear  the  weight  of 
examination.  Out  of  the  total  100, 
25  have  already  died.  25  others 
have  failed  to  achieve  a  stable 
and  complete  family  life  -  that  is, 
they  have  never  married,  or  have

Is  larger  than  yourself,  that  tran- 
scends your  private  world  and  am- 
bitions. You  may  find  this  In  your 
school  or  college,  your  church, 
your  community,  or  some  larger 
horizon  elsewhere.  It  will  almost 
always  involve  some  measure  of 
sacrifice  for  your  fellow  man.  It 
may  also  prove  the  most  re- 
warding of  all  your  life's  activi- 
ties. 

Many  of  you  have  already 
caught  hold  of  such  a  thread.  In 
fact,  to  those  of  an  earlier  genera- 
tion, the  number  is  surprising.  Of 
a  graduating  class  of  262,  many 
are  entering  directly  into  lives  of 
public  service.  The  number  head- 
ing toward  teaching  careers  has 
steadily  risen  in  recent  years  and 
this  year  niunbers  more  than  six- 
ty. Twenty  among  you  have  sign- 
ed up  for  a  year  or  more  of  vol- 
untary service  overseas. 

But  the  caUing  you  follow 
now  or  later  is  perhaps  less  cru- 
cial than  the  qualities  of  mind 
and  character  that  you  bring  to  it 
and  the  way  in  which  you  pursue 
it.  It  is  not  just  the  highly  visible 
causes  that  cry  for  help.  Main 
Street  offers  equal  If  less  conspic- 
uous opportunities.  In  a  complex, 
open,  pluralistic  society,  the  need 
for  ability,  courage,  and  purpose 
runs  throughout  the  interlocldng 
activities  that  sustain  it  and 
hopefully  carry  it  forward. 

You  enter  today  Into  the  major 
phase  of  the  only  life  you  will 
live  on  this  earth.  It  will  go  by 
more  rapidly  than  you  can  now 
believe  possible.  I  pray  that  you 
will  be  able  to  live  it  out,  and  live 
it  fruitfuUy. 

As  you  come  baclc  to  this  beau- 
tiful valley,  I  hope  you  will  draw 
strength  from  and  contribute  to 
the  vitality  of  this  College.  We,  in 
turn,  will  be  interested  in  what 
you  have  done  with  yourselves.  I 
thlnlc  it  is  only  right  to  say  that 
we  will  be  less  Interested  in  how 
much  noise  you  have  generated 
than  in  the  character  of  lives  you 
have  led,  the  contributions  you 
have  made  to  purposes  you  have 
served,  and  how  you  have  develop- 
ed the  gifts  that  are  now  yours  to 
use.

had  marriages  childless,  or  broken 
by  death  or  divorce.  At  least 
6  have  been  plagued  by  Ill-health, 
or  by  Insecurity  in  job  or  in  status. 
Of  4  others,  precisely  nothing  is 
Icnown.  A  total  of  40  out  of  the 
original  100  remains,  of  whom  it 
can .  be  said  Con  the  basis  of  all 
available  information)  that  they 
have  attained  the  heart's  desire 
in  terms  of  marriage,  money,  job, 
and  status. 

After  this  report  -  which  no 
one  could  blame  as  unduly  optim- 
istic -  the  wisdom  of  the  elders  is 
called  upon  for  one  other  func- 
tion: advice  to  today's  graduates 
as  to  how  to  cope  with  what  they 
eventually  do  get  -  or  don't  get  - 
from  life.  That  word  advice  should 
put  you  on  your  guard  against  all 
that  follows,  which  is  likely  to  be 
even  more  susceptible  to  built-in 
obsolescence  than  were  the  fac- 
tual summaries  that  preceded  It. 
Furthermore,  it  would  be  folly  to 
expect  any  new  answers.  The  only 
virtue  in  the  old  solutions  is  that 
they  seem,  by  and  large,  to  have 
worked.  The  only  excuse  for  re- 
peating them  is  to  check  their 
validity  and  to  refresh  their  cur- 
rency. Like  parachutes,  they  have 
periodically  to  be  unpacked  and 
examined  and  tested;  then  they 
can  be  re- folded  for  Instant  read- 
iness when  and  if  the  bottom 
drops  out. 

The  honorable  endurance  of 
success  or  failure,  whosoever  be 
the  credit  -  or  the  blame  for  them, 
depends  on  that  inner  serenity  to 
which  we  aspire  as  a  matter  of 
course,  that  balanced  tension  be- 
tween opposites,  safely  poised  on 
principles  unshakable  by  circum- 
stance. The  wise  man  will  set  a- 
bout  establishing  it  ttefore  it  be- 
comes necessai-y  to  his  survival, 
for  in  games  of  chance  as  well  as 
in  games  of  skill,  the  best  loser 
is  likely  to  be  the  player  who  has 
ah-eady  qualified  as  a  good  win- 
ner. I  would  go  even  further  and 
say  that  our  utmost  enjoyment 
of  winning  depends  on  stabilizing 
success  on  a  foundation  of  eth 


ical  implications,  and  preserving 
in  the  back  of  our  minds  the  sense 
of  an  appropriate  act  of  gratitude 
-  not  so  much  a  debt  as  a  cele- 
bration of  praise  and  thanksgiv- 
ing and  welldoing.  We  have  then 
incidentally  nourished  the  moral 
strengtli  to  survive,  when  it  comes, 
the  headlong  fall  through  space. 

Guideposts  to  such  strength  are 
often  to  be  found  in  the  most  un- 
expected places  -  lor  example,  in 
the  Uterature  of  entertainment: 
the  novel  and  the  di-ama.  The  eld- 
ers (who  do  not  always  agree 
with  each  other  or  even  with 
themselves)  have  in  the  past  two 
centuries  reversed  their  teachings 
with  respect  to  such  literature; 
what  used  to  be  condemned  as 
frivolous  or  even  wicked  is  now 
recognized  as  capable  of  moral  im- 
plications -  for  which  it  is  praised 
or  deprecated,  depending  on  which 
school  of  criticism  you  belong  to. 
The  novelist  as  well  as  the  pro- 
phet and  the  epic  poet  may  have 
that  intuitive  sense  of  moral  con- 
cepts that  reflect  mankind's  ex- 
perience: and  the  validity  of  his 
insights  is  rechecked  by  successive 
generations  of  critical   readers. 

But  the  traditional  source  of 
moral  strength  is  religion.  A  lay- 
man, in  a  strictly  secular  capacity, 
is  perhaps  wiser  to  avoid  tres- 
passing on  sacred  ground.  Th  e 
phrase  "communion  with  god"  has 
already  been  used,  and  it  is  often 
the  target  of  sincere  objection:  "I 
wish  I  believed  in  god,  but 
I  can't."  However,  demurrers  have 
been  lodged  against  this  objec- 
tion, and  from  this  pulpit  on 
previous  occasions.  If  the  objector 
took  the  pains  to  decide  just  what 
kind  of  god  he  would  wish  to  be- 
lieve in,  and  would  then  conduct 
himself  as  if  he  did  believe,  he 
would  in  spite  of  himself  be  in 
fact  defining  and  practising  a  re- 
ligion. For  after  all,  whether  we 
conceive  of  god  as  a  loving  fath- 
er -  or  a  cosmic  consciousness,  a 
reservoir  of  energy  -  or  a  Chief  of 
Police  with  his  office  on  Mount 
Sinai,  -  or  only  a  vacuum  (and 
all  these  are  familiar  and  de- 
fensible positions)  everything  that 
we  are  and  do  rests  ultimately  on 
that  foundation.

"When  James  Baldw in  tones,  not 
his  private  agony,  twt  his  experi- 
ence as  it  can  correct  or  add  to  our 
tradition,  but  a  sudden  desire  to 
destroy  that  whole  tradition,  then 
we  must  have  the  courage  to  de- 
fend the  ideals  we  have,  perhaps, 
not  lived  up  to,  but  only  known  to 
be  true.  It  takes  a  special  courage 
to  bear  witness  in  this  tvay;  to 
oppose  t  belter  man  than  oneself 
in  the  service  m  r„  ,h,  „,„„,  i,iui 
of  a  belter  U  of  NATIONAL  REVIEW
